• It is recommended that you (1) Charge and (2) Discharge once every 6 months. (1) Fully charge for 16 hours, then use until completely discharged. (2) When the unit is completely discharged, return unit to charger base and fully charge for 16 hours.

Please do not use below or above AC 100120V. This could lead to fire or electrocution.

• Because the charger base uses electromagnetic induction, please do not place on top of stainless steel or other metallic surfaces when in use. Recharge capacity may be affected and recharging may become difficult.

• Please check that the power cord of the charger base is not damaged. If there are signs of damage, please refrain from use and contact the purchase location or the local Braun Repair Center.

• Rechargeable batteries may grow weaker over time. A

notable reduction in running time, even after charging, may mean that the battery has begun to deteriorate. If repairs are required (charges apply), please see your nearest sales outlet or Braun Repair Center.

BrBrushing T

1. Attach brush head firmly to the main unit.

• A 2mm gap exists between the brush head and the main unit. This space is necessary for the movement of the brush head. This is not a product defect.

Please check that the toothbrush is not shaky or damaged before use, since this could harm your gums or lips.

echnique

The brush head may break or become damaged if a strong force is exerted on it. Please refrain from using brush head in this situation.

2. Please turn switch ON after placing the toothbrush in your mouth.

• When toothpaste is used, please be particularly

careful when switching product ON to prevent the toothpaste from spraying.

• Angle the brush along the gumline.

• Hold the handle lightly in your hands and turn

switch ON.

3. Learn how to brush effectively.

• Gently move the brush head in a slightly circular

motion. Allow the longer interdental bristles to reach between your teeth, while the CrissCross bristles focus on cleaning the tooth surface and gumline regions (see diagram).

• After a few seconds, glide the bristles to the next

section and pause while you gently circulate the bristles again. Try using only light pressure.

• Adjust your brushing, so that you keep as many

bristles in contact with your teeth as possible. Don’t forget to reach all areas, including the inner and chewing surfaces, and behind the back teeth.

Remember to floss daily.

There is no need to press firmly on the brush head, since such action could damage your gums or lips.

4. Toothpaste This product can be used with the toothpaste of your choice. Please wet brush before applying toothpaste.

Customize your Clean

Microsonic brushing modes for complete mouth care:

• «Clean» for a complete cleaning of teeth and gums.

• «Soft» for the gentle care of the tongue and other sensitive areas.

• «Massage» (S18 535 3 and S1800 only) for a gentle stimulation designed to help keep gums firm and healthy.

How to switch between modes:

• To start your Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete, push the on/off button once, and your toothbrush automatically begins vibrating in the «Clean» mode.

• To shift from the «Clean» mode to the «Soft» mode, push the on/off button once more.

• If your Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete has a «Massage» mode (S18 535 3 and S1800), pushing the on/off button again will bring you from «Soft» to «Massage» mode.

• To turn your brush off from the «Massage» mode, push the on/off button again.

• If you wish to turn your Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete off in the «Clean» or «Soft» mode, push and hold down the on/off button.

You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation when you first use Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete. This will subside as your teeth and gums become accustomed to the Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete cleaning experience. If you experience this initial

tingling, you may want to brush in the «Soft» mode at first.

During the first few days of using your Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete, it is possible that your gums may bleed slightly. This should stop after a few days. However, should it persist, please consult your dentist.

Caring for the Braun

Oral-B Sonic Complete

Constant moisture or toothpaste on the handle or brush head may lead to moldiness, so please follow these simple cleaning steps daily.

• Turn switch OFF, remove brush head from handle, and rinse in running water as shown in the diagram on the left.

• Please use a cloth to wipe off any moisture or dust from the handle or charger base. Please clean regularly.

• Please remove brush from handle and dry in wellventilated place.

• The brush head storage area in the charger base is removable. Please rinse under running water.

• When placing the storage area back into the charger

base, open lid to the upright position, and insert storage area from the above by following the markers.

Please do not immerse or pour water onto charger base, since there could be a danger of a short circuit or electrocution.

Changing the Br

The blue Indicator bristles fade halfway to signal when it is time to replace the brush head. It is recommended that brush heads be replaced every 3 to 4 months. A worn-out brush head is not only less effective at removing plaque than a new brush head, it can also damage your gums. When brushing twice a day for two minutes each time, the blue Indicator bristles will fade halfway in approximately 3 to 4 months, signaling that it is time to replace the brush head.

* Replacement brush heads are sold separately. Please

purchase at your nearby store.

Please note that brush heads other than those designed for Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete (SR18-2) should not be used.

Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete Q&A

My teeth and gums are sensitive. How should I best brush with the Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete?

We recommend that people with sensitive teeth or gums start by brushing in the «Soft» mode for 1 to 2 weeks.

What should I do to effectively remove coffee, tea, and tobacco stains from my teeth?

Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete is proven to

remove stains for naturally whiter teeth. For heavy stains, we recommend brushing slightly longer to aid in their removal.

My dentist told me that I must take better care of my gums. Is Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete effective?

Yes. Clinical trials have shown that Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete can help maintain healthy, firm gums. Proper brushing for the right amount of time is key for this to occur. Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete includes both the Professional Timer as well as the 2-Minute Timer. The Professional Timer lets you know when to move to the next quadrant of your mouth, so that you brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally and the 2-Minute Timer signals when the recommended brushing time has passed.

Can Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete be used by children?

Yes. Children should use the product under parental supervision to ensure that all teeth and areas of the mouth are properly cleaned. We recommend using the «Soft» mode of brushing on children's teeth, as this mode is specially designed for more delicate tooth and gum areas.

Someone in my family wears braces. What is the recommended way to brush with Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete?

Gently place the brush at an angle between the brackets and gums. Using the «Clean» mode, move the brush in a light circular motion to clean both the brackets and teeth.

I have bridges, crowns and fillings in my mouth. What is the best way to brush with my Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete?

Like all Braun Oral-B power toothbrushes, Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete can be used by people with bridges, implants and crowns. We recommend using the «Clean» mode to effectively remove plaque and bacteria for healthy teeth and gums.

What should I do if I have comments or questions about the Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete?

Please send your comments and questions to Braun’s Customer Services Center (Japan tel. 0120-13-6343, Taiwan tel. 0800-005-998). You can also contact us through our homepage (www.oralb.com or www.braun.co.jp).
