The Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500 DLX OxyJet®Center
is a dentist-inspired oral care system for outstanding cleaning,
gum care, whiter teeth and freshening.
The Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500 DLX toothbrush
delivers outstanding performance:
• 3D oscillating-pulsating technology – for outstanding
cleaning and gum care
• Innovative accessories and brushheads to clean and polish
teeth as well as freshen your tongue and mouth
• Customised Speed Control which offers a broad variety of
speed levels to meet your individual brushing needs
•Pr
emium handle design and ergonomics for greater
comfort and control
The Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500 OxyJet®irrigator
mixes air into water in the form of micro-bubbles. These
micro-bubbles in the water stream attack plaque bacteria. At
the same time, the irrigator removes remaining food particles
from between your teeth and massages your gums. Always
use the irrigator after brushing your teeth.
Please read the use instructions carefully before first use.
Important
The appliance must be mounted in a way that it cannot fall
into water. The plug should always be accessible. Periodically
check the cord for damage. A damaged or non-functioning
appliance should no longer be used. Take it to a Braun
Service Centre.

Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe
and can be used in the bathroom without hesitation.
• Plug the appliance into an electrical outlet and place the
toothbrush handle 3on the charger base 1.
• The blue charge indicator 2flashes while the handle is
being charged. If you then use your brush and place it back
on the charger, the charging light will again flash to let you
know it is charging.
• When the handle is fully charged, the charge indicator
shines continuously. A full charge takes at least 16 hours
and enables up to two weeks of regular brushing.
• When the rechargeable battery is running low, your tooth-
brush will slow down, then stop.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on
the charger base to maintain it at full power. Overcharging
is impossible.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable
battery, refrain from placing the handle on the charger base
and fully discharge it through regular use at least every
6 months.
Customised Speed Control
Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500 DLX offers a variable
range of speeds to best meet your individual needs. High
speed is ideal for tooth and gumline cleaning. For cleaning
sensitive teeth and gum tissue as well as precision use of the
accessories (III and IV), we recommend using a lower speed.
• Press the on/off button once to operate at maximum
speed.
• Continue to hold the on/off button to move from the highest
speed to the Customised Speed Control mode.
• As long as you keep the on/off button pressed, the handle
will continuously run through all speed levels.
• Release the on/off button to brush at your preferred speed
level.
• Push the on/off button once more to turn the toothbrush
off.
• If you then turn it on again you will automatically come
back to the maximum speed level.

Brushing technique
• Attach one of the brushheads to the handle. They can be
used with any kind of toothpaste.
• To avoid splashing, guide the brushhead to your teeth
before switching the appliance on.
• Guide the brushhead slowly from tooth to tooth.
• Hold the brushhead in place for a few seconds before
moving on to the next tooth.
• Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then
the insides, finally the chewing surfaces.
• Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all
the work.
Pressure Sensor
For optimum brushing results Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™
8500 DLX has a pressure control feature to ensure that the
right degree of pressure is applied. This helps protect your
gums from excessive brushing and makes your toothbrush
easy to operate. If too much pressure is applied, the
oscillating movement of the brushhead will continue but the
pulsation will stop. In addition to feeling it, you can also hear
the difference.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals, which you
can hear and feel, reminds you to brush the four quadrants
of your mouth equally for a better overall clean.
2-Minute Timer
A long stuttering sound indicates when the dentist
recommended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.
During the first few days of using the toothbrush, your gums
may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a
few days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your
dentist or hygienist.
Brushheads and accessories
The Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500 DLX offers you a
variety of brushheads and accessories to meet your individual
needs. They are all designed for daily use:

I FlexiSoft®brushhead
The FlexiSoft®brushhead features our outstanding
oscillating-pulsating action to effectively clean your teeth,
clean along the gumline and in hard-to-reach areas such as
behind teeth. The green FlexiSoft®bristles bend, enabling
both gentle brushing and deeper reach of the blue
Interdental Tips between teeth.
II ProBright™ brushhead
The ProBright™ brushhead is specifically designed to
polish and naturally whiten your teeth by removing coffee,
tea and tobacco stains. Although you can use any kind of
toothpaste, a whitening paste is likely to result in a better
whitening performance. We do not recommend using the
ProBright™ brushhead with braces.
Apply the same brushing technique as described in the
section «Brushing technique» for both brushheads.
Both brushheads feature blue INDICATOR®bristles to help
you monitor brushhead replacement. With thorough brushing,
twice a day for two minutes, the blue colour will fade halfway
within 3 months, signaling it is time to change the brushhead.
III Interspace brushhead
The Interspace brushhead is designed for cleaning
between teeth as well as around bridges, crowns and
implants. To use, position brushhead at 45 degree angle to
gumline. Slowly guide the brushhead along the gumline,
pausing between teeth for optimum results.
IV Tongue Freshener
The Tongue Freshener freshens breath by removing odour-
causing bacteria from the tongue. It can be used everyday
– before or after brushing. You can also use mouthwash
with the Tongue Freshener.
Attach it to the handle, turn the appliance on and drag it
across the tongue from back to front. We recommend a low
speed setting for enhanced control during use. Rinse after
use. Replace the Tongue Freshener when materials become
worn.

irrigator rigator
Before using for the first time, fill the water container and
allow the water to run through completely by holding the
irrigator handle over a washbasin.
1. Attach one of the irrigator jets to the handle until it locks
into place. Fill the water container with water and add
mouthwash, if desired.
2. Turn on the irrigator by pressing the on/off switch.
(When doing so, the handle switch should be in the lower
position = water stop).
3. Select the water pressure with the pressure control dial
(1 = gentle, 5 = strong). We recommend that you start with
setting 1, especially if your gums tend to bleed or if children
are using the irrigator.
4. Bend over a washbasin and guide the jet to your teeth
and gums. Slide the handle switch eup to start the water
stream. Keep your mouth slightly open to allow the water
to run into the washbasin.
You can choose between two different jet functions by sliding
the jet switch 9down or up (before doing so, turn off the
water stream by sliding the handle switch edown):
Rotating stream: for general cleaning and gum massage
(jet switch in lower position): The rotation of the water stream
and its micro-bubbles is designed for easy penetration below
the gumline.
Mono stream: straight water stream for site-specific cleaning
(jet switch in upper position).
Max. operating time: 15 minutes
Cooling off time: 2 hours
To ensure the jet functions, a small sieve is incorporated in
the lower end of the shaft. Should you notice a reduced water
pressure, check the sieve for any deposits and remove them,
e.g. by carefully tapping the shaft on a flat surface.

After use
Always empty the water container entirely to prevent bacteria
from collecting in the standing water. If your dentist has
recommended the use of a chlorhexidine solution with your
irrigator, allow some water to run through the irrigator after
use to prevent any deposit build-up.
Press the on/off switch to turn off the irrigator. It will auto-
matically turn off after 10 minutes if you forget to turn it off
manually. In this case, to turn it on again, you have to press
the on/off switch twice.
To take off the irrigator jet, press the jet release button 0.
The jets can be stored in the jet compartment. Wipe the
handle dry and place it back onto its base.
Cleaning
Regularly clean the housing with a damp cloth. The water
container and the jet compartment are removable and
dishwasher-safe.
