Safety Precautions

Warning

• Keep out of the reach of toddlers and infants.

- Failure to do so may result in accidents or accidental ingestion of the accessories or removable small parts.

• Terminate the usage when there is abnormality or failure.

Continued use of the toothbrush may cause ﬁre, electric shock or other injuries.

Caution

• People who have severe periodontal disease should consult a doctor before use. Failure to do so may cause damage to teeth and gums.

•

Do not use the brush in combination with toothpaste that contains a lot of abrasive.

• Do not force the bristles hard against the teeth or gums, or apply the bristles to one area for prolonged periods.

• Do not apply the solid part of the brush head or the main unit to teeth.

•

If you have oral health problems such as teeth undergoing treatment, avoid using the brush on those parts as doing so may cause damage to teeth and gums.

• Never modify, disassemble, or repair the appliance yourself as doing so may cause unexpected accidents or trouble.

• Use a mild detergent for cleaning.

• Never use thinners, benzine, or alcohol to clean the toothbrush since it may

cause malfunction or cracking/discolouration of the parts.

• Parents and guardians of young children should check to ensure that the child is using the appliance correctly and does not chew the brush.

- Without proper instruction, children may hurt themselves, damage the brush, or cause the bristles to drop out. This may result in damage to the teeth and gums, or in bristles being swallowed.

• Do not disinfect using boiling water, pharmaceutical solutions, or a microwave oven.

Doing so may result in damage to the main unit or brush head and cause injury.

• Do not continuously aim the LED lamp into the eyes.

- Doing so may cause dizziness.

Removing the brush head

1. Rotate the brush head and align the marks.

2. Pull to remove the brush head.

• Pulling the brush head while it is fastened may damage the brush head or the main unit.

• When toothpaste gets hard and makes it difﬁcult to remove the brush head, put it in water or warm water for a while and then remove.

If the brush head is hard to remove

If the brush head is hard to remove due to hardened toothpaste, soak the entire brush head in cold or lukewarm water for approximately 5 minutes and then remove.

Replacing the battery

The LED lamp will turn off and the vibration will gradually weaken. A few seconds later, operation will stop completely. Please replace the alkaline battery with a new one.

1. Remove the battery cover by rotating it.



2. Insert LR03 (AAA alkaline battery).

• It is possible to use the appliance for approximately 60 days by using a Panasonic LR03 (AAA alkaline battery) (when used with the LED lamp turned on, once a day for 2 minutes).

3. Attach the battery cover by rotating it.

Caution

• Always follow the cautions printed on the battery.

• Check the polarities (+ and -) of the battery and install it correctly.

Notes

• Batteries are not supplied. Please purchase separately.

• Before replacing the alkaline battery, ensure the unit is thoroughly dry to

prevent water drops entering the main unit.

• Always use alkaline batteries. Use of non-alkaline batteries may result in a drastically reduced operating time.

• Use only LR03 (AAA alkaline battery).

Using the toothbrush

Outer side of molars

Have the child say “Eeee”, then insert your ﬁ nger from the edge of the lips to pull the cheek outward. If the child opens wide, the cheek will not stretch outwards and it will be difﬁ cult to insert the brush deep into the mouth.

If the child is trying to close his or her mouth, this may indicate pain due to excessive force.

1. Remove the cap.

2. Conﬁ rm that the brush head is ﬁ xed ﬁ rmly.

3. Place the toothbrush in the mouth.

• When using the toothbrush, especially with toothpaste applied, place the brush head in the mouth before operating to prevent splattering.

4. Press the power switch ﬁ rmly to operate the toothbrush.

• Each time you press the power switch, the appliance switches according to the following order: “Power ON/LED lamp ON”, “Power ON/LED lamp OFF”, “Power OFF/LED lamp OFF”.

• Press the power switch with the ball of the ﬁ nger.

•

Do not press with a ﬁ ngernail. Doing so may tear the rubber of the power switch.

5. Brush the teeth by moving the main unit by hand.

• Brush by moving the toothbrush in the same way as when you brush by hand. Just applying the toothbrush to teeth cannot fully remove plaque, so it is recommended that you move the toothbrush. (See “Advice for brushing” and “Points to avoid pain in children”.)

• Do not apply the brush head to teeth or gums too strongly.

6. When ﬁ nished brushing, stop the motion by pressing the power switch ﬁ rmly.

• In order to prevent splattering of saliva, etc., turn off the toothbrush while it is still in the mouth.

• To prevent the power being left on after use, operation stops 5 minutes after the power is ﬁ rst switched on.

Caution

• Do not use for any purpose other than dental care.

• Do not drop or handle roughly.

Note

• Please be careful not to get hair products, hand cream, etc. on the main unit because it may ruin the appearance of the toothbrush.

Advice for brushing

How to hold the toothbrush Hold the toothbrush lightly and do not use too much force.

Brushing while pressing down hard may damage the teeth or gums. Holding the toothbrush lightly as shown in the Figure allows the best use of the bristle tips.

After use

Washing the brush head

Wash the brush head under running water.

• Do not wash with water hotter than 80 ˚C (176 ˚F).

• Do not pull the bristles of the brush.

(Doing so may cause bristles to come out.)

• Shake well to remove water after washing.

Washing the main unit

1. Make sure that the battery cover is closed.

2. Wash the main unit under running water.

• Do not wash with water hotter than 40 ˚C (104 ˚F).

• Do not immerse the main unit under water.

(Otherwise water may get inside.)

Washing the cap

Wash the Cap under running water.

• Do not wash with water hotter than 40 ˚C (104 ˚F).

Caution

• Shake the cap and brush head well to drain off water, and dry them using a dry towel, etc. After this, put the cap on the main unit. Leaving them wet may dirty or damage the pouch or bag.

Changing the brush head (Sold separately)

• Replacing the brush head every 3 months is recommended. If the bristles are bent to one side or worn, the toothbrush is not effective for brushing.

• If the brush head is damaged by chewing, etc., there is a risk of damage to the teeth or gums. Please replace the brush head.

Part number Replacement Brush for EW-DS32 Quantity

WEW0959

• Only Replacement Brush for EW-DS32 can be used.

How to move the brush Move horizontally, a little at a time.

Milk teeth are characterized by wide gaps between the teeth. Aim to use the tips of the bristles to clean the gaps between the milk teeth. The ﬁ ne motion of the brush will help the bristles reach difﬁ cult spots.

Check that no spot has been missed Use the LED lamp to get a clear view.

Using the LED lamp allows a clear view of the inside of the mouth. It is easy to miss spots on the molars, but a clear view is now possible simply by applying the brush. Make sure that the brush is reaching its target as you brush.

Points to avoid pain in children

Finger technique is the key

If the child does not like brushing difﬁ cult spots, gently push down and pull up on the child's lips with your ﬁ ngers so that you can brush smoothly.

Upper front teeth

With the ﬂ eshy part of the index ﬁ nger of your other hand, gently lift the upper lip.

• Pulling the connective tissue, called the frenulum, above the front teeth may hurt, so be careful.
