First use
Before taking the appliance into use check to ensure that it is
in a fault-free condition. If it is not, it may not be used.
• Insert the power plug into a wall socket.
•Before the first use, clean the new brush heads 1with
clear water.
•Place a replacement brush head on the brush holder 2,
open the cover of the charging station 3and slide the
brush holder 2in.
•Place the hand element on the charging station 3so that
it slides onto the spike in the base.
•Allow the hand element to charge up for approx. 14 -
16 hours before using it for the first time. The charging
light 5on the front of the hand appliance glows red
during the charging process.
•Use the hand element repeatedly, and without charging
the battery, until the performance is noticeably weaker or
the toothbrush stops working and the charge indicator 5
blinks red. First then recharge the battery for 14 - 16 hours.
When the appliance is fully charged, the charge indicator 5
glows green.
• Charge and discharge the toothbrush completely 3 times.
The battery will have then reached its full capacity.
•You can now leave the hand element in the charging
station 3after every use, so as to always have full power
available.
For care of the batteries, we recommend the following:
When the hand element is fully charged, remove the plug
of the charging station 3from the mains power socket. First
reinsert the plug into the mains power socket and recharge
the hand element when the movement of the toothbrush is
noticeably weaker or the charge indicator 5blinks.

•Place the brush head 1on the hand element.
• Moisten the brush under flowing water.
• Apply some toothpaste to the moistened brush.
Notice
Wait until the appliance is in the mouth before switching it on,
to avoid spray.
•With the on/off switch 9select the desired operating
level.
Notice
This toothbrush has a 30 second interval timer, so that all four
jaw quandrants can be cleaned equally.
• Divide your jaw into four sections (quadrants): upper left,
upper right, lower left and lower right.
•Begin in one quadrant:
Place the brush head 1on your gums and move the brush
upwards/downwards from the gums to over the crown of
the tooth.
Proceed in this manner on both the inside and the outside
surfaces of the tooth. Start again from the gums for each
individual tooth.

Do not forget the back surfaces of the rear molars.
To clean the chewing surfaces, direct the rotating brush
head with light pressure over the chewing surfaces.
• After 30 seconds the toothbrush interrupts its operation
briefly twice, to signalise to you that you should start to
clean the next quadrant. Clean all jaw quadrants with the
same technique.
• After two minutes the toothbrush stops its operation briefly
4 times. This informs you that you have complied with the
dental recommendation of two minutes cleaning.
•Press the on/off switch 9repeatedly until the toothbrush
stops.
• First take the toothbrush out of your mouth when it has
stopped.
• After use, clean the brush head thoroughly under running
water.
Notice
Regularly massage your gums. This promotes blood circulation
and thus the health preservation of the gums. Set the level at
“Pulse” and guide the moistened brush over your gums with a
light pressure.

Cleaning and care
Warning:

cleaning the charging station 3. There is a risk of receiving
an electric shock!
•NEVER open the housing of the charging station 3or the
toothbrush! They cannot be resealed in a water-tight manner.
•Clean the charging station 3only with a soft, lightly
moistened cloth. Do not use detergents or solvents. They
can damage the plastic surfaces.
•After use, clean the brush heads 1thoroughly under run-
ning water. We recommend cleaning the brush heads 1in
a standard commercial cleaning fluid for prosthetics every
2 - 4 weeks. After about 3 months, at the latest however
when the bristles bend outwards, you should fit a new
brush head 1.
•The brush holder 2can be cleaned without problem with
water and some liquid soap. For this, simply lift the brush
holder 2upwards.
