Brushing instructions
1 Push the brush head firmly onto the handle. Wet the bristles and
apply toothpaste.
Note: It is normal to see a slight gap between the brush head and
the handle. This allows the brush head to vibrate properly.
2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle (45
degrees), apply light pressure to make the bristles reach the
gumline or slightly beneath the gumline.
Note: Keep the center of the brush head in contact with the teeth
at all times.
3 Press the power on/off button to turn on the Philips Sonicare.
English
12
4 Apply light pressure to maximize Philips Sonicare’s effectiveness
and let the Philips Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you.
Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small
back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your
teeth. Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.
Note: Different modes are available (see 'Brushing modes').
5 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.
Note:
- A change in vibration from the handle alerts you when you apply
too much pressure (see 'Pressure sensor').
- Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on braces, dental
modifications and dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)
- Do not use your power toothbrush in the shower.
