IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Oral-B® SmartSeries 4000® 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, some basic safety precautions should always be followed.

Read all instructions before using.

DANGER

a Brush head (depending on model) b On/off button c Brushing mode button d Handle e Handle display f SmartPlug charger (includes charging ring and SmartPlug)

Connecting and charging

Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and designed for use in the bathroom.

•

Plug the SmartPlug into an electrical outlet and place the toothbrush handle (d) on the charging unit.

•

A battery symbol should appear in the handle display (e). The battery symbol will fill up while the handle is being charged. Once the handle is fully charged, the battery symbol will be filled with three bars. A full charge takes at least 10 hours and enables approximately 10 days of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).

10 h

Please note: If the battery symbol is not displayed immediately, continue charging. It will appear in 10–15 minutes.

•

When the rechargeable battery is low, the battery symbol with one remaining bar starts flashing. Your toothbrush will slow down and then stop. It is time to recharge your toothbrush. When the battery is fully discharged, the empty frame of the battery symbol flashes. It will then need a 15-minute charge before you can use it for a 2-minutebrushing.

•

For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the charging unit to maintain it at full power. There is no risk of overcharging the battery.

•

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.

For electric specifications, see printing on the SmartPlug.

Professional Timer

For an overall clean, the «Professional Timer» helps you brush the four quadrants of your mouth equally. It signals with a short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals (45-seconds intervals within «DeepClean» mode) that it is time to move to the next quadrant of your mouth, followed by a long stuttering sound when you reach the recommended 2-minute mark.

The «Professional Timer» memorizes the elapsed brushing time, even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. When pausing longer than 30 seconds, the timer resets to the initial starting point.

In addition, a «smiley» is displayed when you reach the dental professional recommended 2-minute brushing time. The «smiley» will be displayed for 30 seconds before it disappears automatically. Alternatively, you can directly clear the «smiley» on the display by pushing the mode button.

Brushing

You can start your toothbrush by pressing the on/off button (b). To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth

before switching the appliance on.

Brushing technique

•

Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth.

•

Hold the brush head in place for a few seconds before moving on to the next tooth.

•

Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then the insides, finally the chewing surfaces.

•

Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all the work.

Oral-B SmartSeries 4000 has a pressure control feature to help ensure that the right degree of pressure is applied. This helps protect your gums from excessive brushing and makes your toothbrush easy to operate. If too much pressure is applied, the oscillating movement of the brush head will continue but the pulsation will stop. In addition to feeling the change, you can also hear a different sound.

In the first 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 dental hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode.

Brushing modes (depending on model)

Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes for varying oral care needs:

«Daily Clean» – Exceptional mouth cleaning.

«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive

areas.

«Whitening» – Polishing and whitening for occasional or

everyday use.

«DeepClean» – Exceptional mouth cleaning with extended

brushing time. Within this mode the brushing time has been extended to 45 seconds per quadrant for a total brushing time of 3 minutes.

How to switch between brushing modes:

•

When pressing the on/off button (b) your toothbrush automatically starts in the «Daily Clean» mode.

•

To switch to the other modes, successively press the mode button (c).

•

To return from any mode to the «Daily Clean» mode, press and hold the mode button.

•

To turn your brush off, press the on/off button.

During brushing, the handle display shows the brushing mode you have selected.

Please note: The «Whitening» mode is best used with an Oral-B ProWhite brush head (see «Brush heads»).

Brush heads (depending on model)

The Oral-B FlossAction brush head is recommended for everyday deep cleaning. It features micropulse bristles that get deep in hard-toreach areas between your teeth, gently removing hidden plaque.

For occasional or everyday whitening, please use the Oral-B ProWhite brush head. It features a dentist-inspired polishing cup to remove surface stains from coffee, tea and tobacco for effective brightening.

Please note that children under 12 years old should not use the Oral-B ProWhite brush head.

Do not use the Oral-B FlossAction or Oral-B ProWhite brush head with braces. We recommend using the Oral-B Ortho brush head, which is specifically designed to clean around braces and wires.

The FlossAction™ and ProWhite™ brush heads feature blue Indicator replacement need. With proper brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway approximately within 3 months, signalling that it is time to change the brush head.

•

From time to time, you can clean the charging ring and SmartPlug with a damp cloth. The SmartPlug charger should never be placed in water or in the dishwasher.
