, When the handle is placed incorrectly in the charger, the
charge indicator light may still illuminate, but charging will
not take place.
Handles of other Sonicare models do not fit in this charger and
will therefore not charge effectively. Do not attempt to force a
handle into this charger as this will cause damage.
Using the appliance
Useful tips
, Place the brush head in your mouth before turning
on your Sonicare and keep your mouth closed during
brushing, 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.
, A fully charged Sonicare will provide approximately 2
weeks of typical use (2 minutes of brushing twice a day),
making it easy to travel without the charger.
Remember that voltage converters and plug adapters DO
NOT guarantee voltage compatibility. Always check for
voltage compatibility.
Brushing technique
Follow these simple steps to maximize your brushing experience.
1 Before turning the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the
brush head on your gumline at a 45-degree angle.
2 Hold the handle with a light grip, turn the Sonicare 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 the effectiveness of your Sonicare
toothbrush, use light pressure and let the Sonicare
toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.
