4 Press the power on/off and mode button to
turn on your Philips Sonicare.

and in the gumline. Brush your teeth with small back and forth motion so the bristles reach between the teeth.

6 To clean the inside surfaces of the front
teeth, tilt the brush handle semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing strokes on each tooth.
7 Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top
teeth) and brush for 30 seconds (45 seconds in Deep Clean mode) before moving to section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing in section 3 (outside bottom teeth) and brush for 30 seconds (45 seconds in Deep Clean mode) before moving to section 4 (inside bottom teeth).

Brushing modes

English
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).
Note: After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas where staining occurs. You can also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.
Your Philips Sonicare is safe to use on:
-
Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces).
-
Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers).
1 To toggle through modes press the on/off
button twice in less than 5 seconds.
2 To turn off your Philips Sonicare press the
on/off button again after 5 seconds.
Your Philips Sonicare comes with the Clean mode activated.

Note: When the Philips Sonicare is used in clinical studies, it must be used in the default 2-minute Clean mode or in the Deep Clean mode with Easy Start turned off.
