IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Oral-B Pulsonic Slim has been carefully designed to offer you
and your family a unique brushing experience that is both safe and
effective. When using electrical products, however, basic safety
precautions should always be followed.
Read all instructions before using.

1. Do not place or store the charger where it can fall or be pulled
into a tub or sink.
2. Do not place the charger in water or other liquid.
3. Do not reach for a charger that has fallen into water. Unplug
immediately.
4. Please do not use while bathing.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire or injury:
1. Close supervision is necessary when this product is either used
by or near children or invalids.
2. Use this product only for its intended use as described in this
manual. Do not use attachments or chargers not recommended
by the manufacturer.
3. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
4. Never drop the appliance or insert any object into any opening
of the appliance.
5. Never operate this product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if
it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged or
if it has been dropped into water. If any of these occur, please
contact a service centre and return the product for examination
and repair.
IMPORTANT
1. Periodically check the cord for damage. If cord is damaged,
take the charging unit to an Oral B Braun Service Center.
A damaged or non-functioning unit should no longer be used.
2. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. This can cause
electric shock.
3. When unplugging, always hold the power plug instead of the

the metal item presenting a potential burn hazard.

may cause fire, electric shock or injury. Consult your dealer
for repairs or contact an Oral-B Braun Service centre. Do not
disassemble the product except when disposing of the battery.

Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush is electrically safe and designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the charging unit (g) into an electrical outlet and place the handle (f)
on the charging unit (see picture 1, page 2).
• A full charge takes at least 12 hours and enables approximately one
week of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the plugged-
in charging unit to maintain it at full power. Overcharging is impossible.
However for environmental reasons, Oral-B recommends to unplug the
charging unit until the next recharge is required.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, unplug
the charging unit and fully discharge the handle with regular use at least
every 6 months.
Brushing
Brushing modes
Oral-B Pulsonic Slim offers different brushing modes for varying oral care
needs:
«Clean» – Gentle, effective mouth cleaning.
«Sensitive» – Gentle cleaning for sensitive areas.
When pressing the on/off button, your toothbrush automatically starts in
the « Clean» mode. To shift from the «Clean» to the «Sensitive» mode,
press the on/off button once again. To turn your toothbrush off, press the
on/off button (see picture 2, page 2).
Brushing technique
• Slide the brush head on the handle. Wet brush head and apply tooth-
paste; you can use any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the
brush head to your teeth before switching on your toothbrush.
• Place the brush head on the outside surface of your upper teeth. The
toothbrush bristles should be placed against the teeth at a slight angle
towards the gumline.
• Turn your toothbrush on and start brushing in a slightly circular motion
(see picture 4, page 2). Apply light pressure during brushing. After a few
seconds, guide the bristles to the next section. Brush inside, outside and
chewing surfaces of your teeth with the same motion throughout the
mouth for the recommended 2 minutes.
• To avoid splashing, turn your toothbrush off before removing from the
mouth by pressing the on/off button.
You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation when you first use
your Oral-B Pulsonic Slim. This will subside as your teeth and gums will
become accustomed to your Oral-B Pulsonic Slim cleaning experience. If
you experience this initial tingling, you may want to brush in the «Sensitive»
mode first.
In the first few days of using your toothbrush, your gums may bleed
slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist
after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or your dental hygienist.
Brush heads (depending on model)
Oral-B Pulsonic brush head
The Oral-B Pulsonic brush head (a) is recommended for everyday deep
cleaning. Its bristles provide a thorough cleaning between your teeth, tooth
surfaces and along the gumline. The blue indicator bristles help you to
monitor brush head replacement need. With proper brushing, twice a day
for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway approximately within
3 months, signalling it is time to replace your brush head.
Oral-B Precision Tip
The Oral-B Precision Tip (b) is designed to clean between teeth as well as
around bridges, crowns and implants. To use, position it at a 45-degree
angle to gumline and slowly guide it along the gumline from one interdental
space to the next (see picture
Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals (one break) reminds you
to brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally (see picture 3, page 2).
A long stuttering sound (two breaks) indicates when you reach the
professionally recommended 2-minute mark.

, page 2).

Cleaning
Switch off the handle and remove the brush head. Rinse both brush head
and handle thoroughly under running water. Wipe them dry before you
put the handle back on the charging unit. From time to time you can also
clean the charging unit with a damp cloth. For thorough cleaning you
may remove the handle stand by pushing the release button on top of
the charging unit. The charging unit should never be placed in water (see
picture 6, page 2).
