Getting Started

Connecting and Charging

• The SmartClean 201 has a water-resistant handle. It is

designed to be rinsed lightly but not meant to be used

under water or in very wet situations.

• Charge the brush before rst use. The brush will come

from the factory with a partial charge but should be fully

charged prior to use.

• To charge the brush, plug in the charging base to a suitable

outlet as described in the “Safety Information” section. Place

the brush handle in the cradle. When the unit is charging, the

blue “charging” indicator light on the handle will illuminate.

• A full charge takes approximately 24 hours and will sustain

the brush for about six weeks of regular brushing before

requiring a charge.

10

• The charge indicator light will switch from a solid blue light

when charging to a ashing blue light when fully charged.

Best Practices for Li-ON Batteries

• The LI-ON battery cannot be overcharged, but the battery’s

life can be improved by more frequent charging.

• Fully charging the battery (leave on charging base for

at least 24 hours) every 1-2 weeks will extend the life

of the toothbrush.

• When the battery is too low, the brush will either not turn

on or shut o mid-cycle. This is done to protect the battery

from excessive discharge. When this happens, make sure

to fully charge the battery before continuing use.

• If any diminished power or vigor is noted while using

the brush, fully charge the brush before next use.

• Avoid exposing the toothbrush to excessively high or

low temperatures.

Getting Started |

11

Using the Brio SmartClean

Remove protective packaging and attach the brush head to

the handle. Wet bristles and apply any kind of toothpaste.

To avoid splashing, place the brush head in your mouth before

turning on the brush.

You may notice a slight tickling or tingling sensation when rst

using a sonic toothbrush. As you become more accustomed to

brushing with a sonic toothbrush, this sensitivity will diminish.

New sonic toothbrush users may prefer to use the toothbrush

on “Soft” mode for the rst two weeks of use before using

the brush in “Normal” mode. Replace the Brush head every

3 months, or more often if needed. Replace the head if the

bristles have become much softer, bent, or misshapen.

12

Brushing Technique with the Brio SmartClean

It is important to note that brushing technique with a sonic

toothbrush is very dierent than using a manual toothbrush.

Please read this section carefully.

• Place the brush head in your mouth with the bristles at a

45 degree angle to your teeth.

• Start in a specic zone of your mouth – upper outside,

upper inside, lower outside or lower inside.

• The 30-second timer will provide a reminder to switch

zones. The SmartClean has a two-minute cycle time: After

the cycle is complete, the brush will turn o.

• Gently press the button to start the brushing cycle. Hold

the handle with a light grip and gently move the bristles

in a small circular motion from the gums to the teeth and

back. For a right- handed person, use a counter-clockwise

motion, and a clockwise motion for a left-handed person.

Using the Brio SmartClean |

13

• Spend several seconds on each tooth before moving on.

Use light pressure and let the vibrations of the brush do

the work.

• If you wish to whiten teeth or remove stains, extra time

may be needed in those areas. Spend extra time on the

areas of concern after you have completed a full brushing

cycle of your entire mouth.

• If you have braces, gently turn or roll the brush head all the

way around the brackets and wires in order to reach the

entire tooth. Continue until you have covered your entire

mouth. Fully brushing your mouth with braces may require

more brushing time than a single cycle.

• Dental restorations such as implants, crowns, caps,

bridges, and llings should be brushed as you would

your natural tooth surfaces unless otherwise directed

by your dental professional.

14

Brushing Modes

• The Brio SmartClean oers three dierent brushing modes

for diering oral care needs:

• Normal Mode - Exceptional cleaning power for

experienced sonic toothbrush users

• Soft Mode - Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive

areas or new sonic toothbrush users

• Massage Mode - Gentle stimulation of the gums

How to Switch Between Brushing Modes

• Power On/O and brushing mode selection are controlled

by the power button. Pressing this button will cycle

through the modes in order. Pressing the button again will

turn o the toothbrush.

• The SmartClean 201 automatically starts in the Normal

mode when pressing the power button once.

Using the Brio SmartClean |

15

• To change from Normal mode to Soft mode, press the power

button a second time.

• Pressing the power button again will switch to massage mode.

• The brushing mode indicator light indicates the current

brushing mode.

• To turn o the brush, press the brushing mode button.

If the brush has been on for less than 15 seconds, it is

necessary to cycle through all the modes before the brush

will turn o. After the brush has been running for 15

seconds without a cycle change, it will turn o with

a single push of the power button.

• Occasionally remove brush head to clean handle and head

separately under running water. Use caution not to fully

submerge the brush handle.

• Make sure to unplug the charging unit before cleaning it.

The charging unit should only be cleaned with a dry or

damp cloth. Never submerge the charging unit or hold it

under running water.

• Do not plug in charging unit until it is completely dry.

Problem

Toothbrush will not turn on

Tickling sensation when using the SmartClean

The brush head rattles

Brush seems less powerful

push down rmly.

The brush may need recharging. Place on the charger until

the charge light indicates a full charge by ashing.

25

Problem

The brush handle got excessively wet or was submerged

underwater and will no longer turn on.

26

Solution

Discontinue use. Dry o handle and place the brush handle in

a sealed bag of uncooked rice for 7 days to assist in removing

moisture from the brush. If the brush will not turn on or

function properly, please properly dispose of the brush.
