Charging

• Plug the charging unit (D)
into an electrical outlet and
place the handle on the
charging unit.

• A full charge takes 16 hours
and will provide an operation
time of approximately
20 minutes.

• For everyday use, the
handle can be stored on the
plugged-in charging unit to
maintain the toothbrush at
full power. Overcharging is
impossible.

Battery maintenance

To maintain the maximum
capacity of the rechargeable
battery, you must discharge it
at least once every 6 months.
To do this, unplug the charg­ing unit and allow the battery
to run down with normal use.

Using the toothbrush

• Slide brushhead on handle.

• Wet brushhead and apply
toothpaste.

• Place brushhead on teeth,
then switch on.

• Move the brushhead in a
slightly circular motion,
similar to a manual tooth­brush. Allow the longer
Interdental bristles to reach
between your teeth, while
the CrissCross bristles
focus on cleaning the tooth
surface and gumline regions.

• After a few seconds, guide
the bristles to the next
section.

• After two minutes (brushing
time recommended by
dentists) the timer (S 12513

11

model only) will signal by a

short stutter.

• During the first few days of
use, it is possible that your
gums may bleed slightly.
Should bleeding persist
after 2 weeks, contact your
dentist.

• Replace brushhead every
3 months, when bristles are
worn (1c) or when colour on
Indicator bristles (1b) has
faded half-way down the
bristles.

Cleaning

After use, rinse the brushhead
under running water (2).
Remove the brushhead and
rinse brushhead and handle
separately (3), then dry.
