Brushing instructions
1Wet the bristles and apply a small amount
of toothpaste.
2Place the toothbrush bristles against the
teeth at a slight angle (45 degrees), pressing
firmly to make the bristles reach the
gumline or slightly beneath the gumline.
Note: Keep the center of the brush in
contact with the teeth at all times.
3Press the power on/off button to turn on
the Philips Sonicare.
4Gently keep the bristles placed on the teeth
and in the gumline. Brush your teeth with
small back and forth motion so the bristles
reach between the teeth. Continue this
motion throughout your brushing cycle.
Note: The bristles should slightly flare. Do
not scrub.
5To clean the inside surfaces of the front
teeth, tilt the brush handle semi-upright
and make several vertical overlapping
brushing strokes on each tooth.
Note: To make sure you brush evenly
throughout the mouth, divide your mouth
into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature
(see chapter ‘Features’).

lower teeth) and brush for 30 seconds
before you move to section 4 (inside lower

cycle, you can spend additional time
brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth
and areas where staining occurs. You can
also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush
turned on or off, as you prefer.
Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to
use on:

not, braces or dental restorations may be
damaged when they come into contact with
the brush head.

used in clinical studies, the handle should be
fully charged and the Easy-start feature
deactivated.
