Connecting and charging
The plaque remover is electrically safe
and can be used in the bathroom without
hesitation.
• Plug the charging unit into an electrical
outlet. Place the handle on the charging
unit.
• A full charge takes 16 hours and will
provide an operation time of approx.
35 minutes.
• For everyday use, the handle can be
stored on the plugged-in charging unit
to maintain the plaque remover at full
power. Overcharging is impossible.
Battery maintenance
To maintain the maximum capacity of the
rechargeable battery, unplug the charging
unit and discharge the handle by regular
use at least every 6 months.
Using the plaque remover
The plaque remover can be used with
any leading brand of toothpaste. However,
we do not recommend toothpastes with
whitening agents.
• To avoid splashing, guide the brushhead
to your teeth before switching the
appliance on.
• Slowly guide the brushhead from tooth
to tooth, spending a few seconds on each
tooth surface.
• Brush the gums as well as the teeth,
first the outsides, then the insides and
finally the chewing surfaces.
• Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let
the brush do all the work.
• To thoroughly remove plaque, brush for
at least two minutes.
During the first days of using the plaque
remover, your gums may bleed slightly.
In general, bleeding should stop after a few
days. Should it persist after two weeks,
please consult your dentist or hygienist.
Dentists recommend that you replace any
toothbrush every 3 months, since worn
bristles do not remove plaque as effectively
as new ones. Therefore, the brushhead is
provided with INDICATOR
® bristles ( I.a).
With proper brushing twice a day for two
minutes, the color will disappear half-way
down the bristles in a 3-month period ( I.b),
provided you use toothpaste.
If the bristles splay before the color recedes
( I.c), you are exerting too much pressure on
teeth and gums.
Replacement brushheads
This product can be used with all Braun
Oral-B Plaque Remover brushheads.
Cleaning
After use, rinse the brushhead for several
seconds under running water with the
handle switched on ( II ). Then switch off
the handle and take off the brushhead.
Rinse both parts separately under running
water ( III ) and wipe them dry.
From time to time, also clean the charging
unit with a damp cloth (IV).

mium rechargeable batteries. In the
