Preparing for use

Installing/replacing batteries

Make sure your hands and the appliance are dry when inserting the batteries.

Sonicare e3000 operates on two (2) AA-size

1.5-volt alkaline batteries.

1 Remove the battery compartment cap from

the bottom of the handle by pulling on the grips (fig. 2).

2 Make sure the + and - poles of the batteries

match the appropriate location inside the handle (fig. 3).

3 Insert the batteries into the handle (fig. 4). 4 Firmly push the battery compartment cap

back onto the handle until it locks (fig. 5).

◗ To avoid damage due to battery leakage:

Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight.

Do not expose the appliance to extremely high temperatures.

Do not leave empty batteries in the appliance.

Remove the batteries if the appliance is not going to be used for a month or longer.

If this product is to be used in clinical trials, use new alkaline batteries.

Batteries need to be replaced at least every 6 weeks during a clinical trial.

Attaching the brush head

1 Align the front of the brush head with the

front of the toothbrush handle (fig. 6).

2 Screw the brush head nut clockwise until it's

firmly tightened. If the brush head rattles during use, tighten the nut further (fig. 7).

Using the appliance

Useful tips

◗ Place the brush head in your mouth before

turning on your Sonicare, and be sure it is turned off before removing it from your mouth, otherwise toothpaste may splatter.

◗ You may experience a slight tickling or tingling

sensation when using an electronic toothbrush such as Sonicare for the first time. As you become accustomed to brushing with Sonicare, this sensitivity will diminish.

Brushing technique

Follow these simple steps to maximize your brushing experience:

1 Before turning on, place the bristles of the

brush head on your gumline at a 45-degree angle (fig. 8).

2 Hold the handle with a light grip, turn on, and

gently move the bristles in a small circular motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth. After a few seconds glide the bristles to the next section. Continue this routine throughout your 2-minute brushing cycle.

3 To maximize effectiveness, apply only light

pressure and let the toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.

4 To make sure you brush evenly throughout the

mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections: outside top, inside top, outside bottom and inside bottom teeth. Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing each of the other two sections for 30 seconds each until you've brushed for 2 minutes (fig. 9).

5 After having completed the 2-minute brushing

cycle, additional time should be spent brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth (fig. 10).

6 Press the power button to turn the

toothbrush on and off as needed.

◗ You may also brush your tongue, with the

toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.

Tips for specific oral care needs

◗ Stain removal

In areas where staining occurs, spend extra brushing time to assist with stain removal.

◗ Braces (fig. 8).

The brush should be placed at a 45-degree angle between your brackets and gumline. While applying light pressure, gently move the bristles in a small circular motion so that the long bristles reach between your teeth for 2 seconds. Then gently turn (roll) the brush handle so the bristles clean the bracket and the rest of the tooth before you move the bristles to the next tooth. Continue this until you have brushed all of your teeth. Please note that brush heads will wear out sooner when used on braces.

◗ Dental restorations (dental work)

Use Sonicare on dental restorations (such as implants, caps, crowns, bridges and fillings) as you would on your normal tooth surfaces. Work the bristles around all areas of the restoration for thorough cleaning.

Features

Smartimer\ 2-minute timer

◗ All Sonicare models come with the Smartimer

feature, which automatically sets the brushing time to the 2 minutes recommended by dental professionals.

◗ After 2 minutes, the Smartimer will

automatically turn your Sonicare off.

◗ If you wish to pause or stop brushing during

your 2-minute cycle, press the power button. Press the power button again and the Smartimer will pick up where you left off.

The Smartimer will automatically reset to the beginning of a 2-minute cycle if brushing is paused for 30 seconds or longer.
