Using the Interplak® Direct Plug-In Toothbrush: The Fastest and Easiest Way to Brush

6 Simple Steps:

1. Charge the lower battery unit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The plug blades and face must be clean and dry before

plugging into AC outlet to reduce risk of burns, electrocution, fire or injury. Allow base to charge for at least 24 hours before first use. Note: If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, be sure the switch is always on for a continuous charge. Plug the lower battery unit into a live outlet and leave it charging for 24 hours. Use only a 120v, 60Hz outlet.

After recharging: Take lower battery unit out of outlet and line up prongs on base to the opening in the handle and push together until in place. The plug blades are polarized (one blade is wide) and can go into the handle only one way. Push together until there is no gap between handle and base. IMPORTANT NOTE: The unit will not function with a slight gap between the handle and the base. Make sure that the base is fully pushed in.

Attach the brush head. Attach and remove with just a simple twist.

Wet the bristles, apply a pea-size amount of toothpaste, and put in mouth.

Clear gel or low abrasion formulations are strongly recommended to enhance the life and performance of your brush head, but pastes may also be used. To avoid splashing, switch the power on after placing the brush head in your mouth.

Turn on and go slowly. Press the button to turn on the unit. Press it again to turn it off. Most dentists recommend brushing for 2 minutes. Place the bristles perpendicular to flat surface of tooth, and slowly guide the brush from tooth to tooth, pausing as you go so bristles can work into crevices. The Interplak® Direct Plug-In Toothbrush will automatically provide the correct cleaning action so there is no need to scrub back and forth. Be sure to run brush along your gumline. Brush all surfaces, including the outsides, insides, and chewing surfaces. Pay particular attention to back molars.

IMPORTANT: Rinse the brush head.

After each use, leave the unit running, and run warm water through the cleaning ports on front and back for 15 seconds to thoroughly rinse out toothpaste residue. VERY IMPORTANT: If not cleaned properly, toothpaste may harden inside the brush head and reduce its life. Towel-dry power handle and brush head to keep clean and free of build-up. IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not take unit apart when rinsing. Do not rinse plug blades or face. Plug blades and face must be clean and dry before plugging into AC outlet.

Replace your brush head at least every 3 to 4 months. Over time, the gears in the brush head become worn, reducing the power and effectiveness of the unit. You may notice the unit slowing down, making a clacking noise, or jamming.

• Contact your dentist prior to use if you have had oral or periodontal surgery in

the previous twelve months.

• When you start any new oral hygiene program, your gums may initially bleed

slightly. Contact your dentist if excessive bleeding occurs or if bleeding

continues after two weeks of use.

• Be sure that only the bristles touch your teeth

and gums. Damage to teeth and gums may

occur if any other part of the unit touches them.

• This product is designed for oral cleaning only.

DO NOT use the unit for any other purpose.

• As with any other new oral hygiene program,

individuals with heart problems should check

with their physician prior to using the

INTERPLAK® Direct Plug-In Toothbrush, and

should always exercise particular care with any

oral hygiene device.

• Avoid using a brush with crushed or bent bristles. Damaged bristles may

break off while the unit is in use. In order to prevent this, replace your brush

head if bristles are worn or bent. Dental professionals recommend replacing

your brush head every three to four months or sooner if the bristles become

worn or bent.

• The Interplak

Direct Plug-In Toothbrush is a personal care unit and is intended

for household use only.

Common Answers and Answers

My gums are tender and bleed a little. Is this normal? During the first few days of using the Interplak

unit, your gums may bleed slightly. This is common when you begin a new oral hygiene program. After a few days, the bleeding will generally cease, and you will be on your way to healthier gums. If your gums continue to bleed after two weeks, see your dentist.

How often should I use my Interplak

Direct Plug-In Toothbrush?

Use the Interplak

Direct Plug-In Toothbrush to replace your manual brushing routine, twice daily or as recommended by your dentist. How do I clean the unit? Unplug the base from the outlet, and clean with a cloth or tissue moistened with warm water. Submerging the unit or using a dishwasher is not recommended and may cause damage or injury. IMPORTANT NOTE: The lower battery unit must be clean and dry before plugging into AC outlet. Should I run down the battery periodically? The Interplak

unit has a nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery similar to those in many cellular phones and electric razors. To maintain the full charging capacity and extend the life of the battery, it must be periodically run down during normal use until it starts to slow down, then recharged.

Why are there different colored brush heads?

The brush heads for your model are identical except for the color indicator ring. This helps you keep track of which family member is using which brush head. Whom do I call for questions? You may contact one of our customer service representatives at 1-800-334-4031 between 8 AM and 5 PM Mountain Standard Time, Monday through Friday.
