before switching the appliance on.

Operating the switch

The toothbrush features two speed options, the lower speed
being optimal for sensitive areas in the mouth.

•Press the switch to operate with normal speed,

•Press a second time to operate with reduced speed,

•Press a third time to switch the unit off.

Removing plaque

Guide the brushhead slowly from tooth to tooth. Hold the
brushhead 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.

Memory Timer

An incorporated timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time,
even when the handle is briefly (max. 30 seconds) switched
off. After two minutes – which is the minimum recommended
brushing time – the timer signals by a short stutter.

Pressure Sensor

For safety and optimum brushing results, the toothbrush
has a pressure control system: If too much pressure is applied,
the oscillating movement of the brushhead will continue,
but the pulsation will stop. In addition to feeling it, you can also
hear the difference.

INDICATOR® bristles

The INDICATOR® bristles help you monitor and improve
your brushing performance. With proper brushing, twice a day
for two minutes, the blue color on the INDICATOR
will disappear half-way down within 3–4 months, signaling it is
time to change the brushhead.

Interspace brushhead (available with «deluxe» model)

The Interspace brushhead is designed for cleaning between
teeth as well as around bridges, crowns and implants. To use,
position brushhead at 45 degree angle to gumline.
Slowly guide the brushhead along the gumline, pausing
between teeth for optimal results.

Replacement brushheads

During the first few days of using the 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 hygienist.
