IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Oral-B®SmartSeries 4000®has been carefully designed to offer you and your family a
unique brushing experience that is both safe and effective. When using electrical products,
however, some basic safety precautions should always be followed.
Read all instructions before using.
DANGER
In order to reduce the risk of electrocution:
1. Do not place or store the charger where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
2. Do not place the charger in water or other liquid.
3. Do not reach for a charger that has fallen into water. Unplug immediately.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire or injury:
1. This appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced physical or
mental capabilities, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety.
2. Use this product only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use
attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
4. Never drop the appliance or insert any object into any opening of the appliance.
5. Never operate this product if it has been dropped or damaged, if it is not working
properly, or if the SmartPlug is damaged or has been dropped into water. If any of these
occur, please contact a service center and return the product for examination and repair.
6. If the product is dropped, the brush head should be replaced before the next use even if
no damage is visible.
7.
This appliance is provided with a SmartPlug with integrated Safety Extra Low Voltage
power supply. Do not exchange or manipulate any part of it otherwise there is the risk
of electric shock. Periodically check the SmartPlug for damage. A damaged or non-
functioning appliance should no longer be used. Take it to an Oral-B Braun Service Center.
IMPORTANT
1. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. This can cause an electric shock.
2. When unplugging, always hold the power plug instead of the cord.
3. Do not modify the product. Do not disassemble or repair. This may cause fire, electric
shock or injury. Consult your dealer for repairs or contact an Oral-B Service center. Do
not disassemble the product except when disposing of the battery.
4. When taking out the battery for disposal, use caution not to short the positive (+) and
negative (–) terminals.

Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe
and designed for use in the bathroom.
Plug the SmartPlug into an electrical outlet and place the
toothbrush handle (d) on the charging unit.
A battery symbol should appear in the handle display (e).
The battery symbol will fill up while the handle is being
charged. Once the handle is fully charged, the battery
symbol will be filled with three bars. A full charge takes at
least 10 hours and enables approximately 10 days of regular
brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
Please note: If the battery symbol is not displayed
immediately, continue charging. It will appear in 10–15
minutes.
When the rechargeable battery is low, the battery symbol
with one remaining bar starts flashing. Your toothbrush
will slow down and then stop. It is time to recharge your
toothbrush. When the battery is fully discharged, the empty
frame of the battery symbol flashes. It will then need a
15-minute charge before you can use it for a 2-minute-
brushing.
For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on
the charging unit to maintain it at full power. There is no risk
of overcharging the battery.
To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable
battery, unplug the charging unit and fully discharge the
handle with regular use at least every 6 months.
For electric specifications, see printing on the SmartPlug.

Professional Timer
For an overall clean, the «Professional Timer» helps you brush
the four quadrants of your mouth equally. It signals with a
short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals (45-seconds
intervals within «DeepClean» mode) that it is time to move to
the next quadrant of your mouth, followed by a long stuttering
sound when you reach the recommended 2-minute mark.
The «Professional Timer» memorizes the elapsed brushing
time, even when the handle is briefly switched off during
brushing. When pausing longer than 30 seconds, the timer
resets to the initial starting point.
In addition, a «smiley» is displayed when you reach the dental
professional recommended 2-minute brushing time. The
«smiley» will be displayed for 30 seconds before it disappears
automatically. Alternatively, you can directly clear the «smiley»
on the display by pushing the mode button.
Brushing
You can start your toothbrush by pressing the on/off button
(b). To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth
before switching the appliance on.
Brushing technique
Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth.
Hold the brush head 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.
Oral-B SmartSeries 4000 has a pressure control feature to
help 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 brush head will
continue but the pulsation will stop. In addition to feeling the
change, you can also hear a different sound.
In the first days of using your 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 dental hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and
gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode.

Brushing modes (depending on model)
Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes for varying
oral care needs:
«Daily Clean» – Exceptional mouth cleaning.
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive
areas.
«Whitening» – Polishing and whitening for occasional or
everyday use.
«DeepClean» – Exceptional mouth cleaning with extended
brushing time. Within this mode the
brushing time has been extended to 45
seconds per quadrant for a total brushing
time of 3 minutes.
How to switch between brushing modes:
When pressing the on/off button (b) your toothbrush auto-
matically starts in the «Daily Clean» mode.
To switch to the other modes, successively press the mode
button (c).
To return from any mode to the «Daily Clean» mode, press
and hold the mode button.
To turn your brush off, press the on/off button.
During brushing, the handle display shows the brushing mode
you have selected.
Please note: The «Whitening» mode is best used with an
Oral-B ProWhite brush head (see «Brush heads»).

Brush heads (depending on model)
The Oral-B FlossAction brush head is recom-
mended for everyday deep cleaning. It features
micropulse bristles that get deep in hard-to-
reach areas between your teeth, gently removing
hidden plaque.
For occasional or everyday whitening, please
use the Oral-B ProWhite brush head. It features
a dentist-inspired polishing cup to remove
surface stains from coffee, tea and tobacco for
effective brightening.
Please note that children under 12 years old
should not use the Oral-B ProWhite brush head.
Do not use the Oral-B FlossAction or Oral-B
ProWhite brush head with braces.
We recommend using the Oral-B Ortho brush
head, which is specifically designed to clean
around braces and wires.
The FlossAction™ and ProWhite™ brush heads feature
blue Indicator®bristles helping you to monitor brush head
replacement need. With proper brushing, twice a day for two
minutes, the blue color will fade halfway approximately within
3 months, signalling that it is time to change the brush head.
Cleaning recommendations
After brushing, rinse your brush head thoroughly under
running water.
Remove the brush head from the handle and clean both
parts separately under running water. Then, wipe them dry
before you put the handle on the charging unit.
From time to time, you can clean the charging ring and
SmartPlug with a damp cloth. The SmartPlug charger
should never be placed in water or in the dishwasher.
Environmental notice
This product contains rechargeable batteries.
In the interest of protecting the environment, please do not
dispose of the product in the household waste at the end of
its useful life. Disposal can take place at an Oral-B Braun
Service Center or at approved recycling or disposing locations
in accordance with local regulations.
