Preparing for use
Attaching the brush head
1Align the brush head so the bristles point in the same direction as
the front of the handle. (Fig. )
2Firmly press the brush head down onto the metal shaft until it
stops.
Philips Sonicare brush heads are imprinted with icons to easily
identify your brush head.
Charging the appliance
1Put the plug of the charger or sanitizer in a wall socket.
2Place the handle on the charger.
The flashing light of the battery level indicator indicates that the
toothbrush is charging. (Fig. )
Note: It takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the battery.
Using the appliance
Brushing instructions

(Fig. 5). (Fig. 4)
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. A change in vibration (and a slight
change in sound) alerts you when you apply too much pressure
while brushing. (Fig. 6)
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all
times.
3Press the power on/off button to switch on the Philips Sonicare.

and let the Philips Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do
not scrub.

5Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small
back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your
teeth (Fig. 8). Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.
6To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush handle
semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing
strokes on each tooth (Fig. 9).
7Begin brushing in section 1 (outside upper teeth) and brush for 30
seconds (45 seconds in Deep Clean mode) before you move to
section 2 (inside upper teeth). Continue brushing in section 3
(outside lower teeth) and brush for 30 seconds (45 seconds in
Deep Clean mode) before you move to section 4 (inside lower
teeth (Fig. 10)).
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide
your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter
‘Features’).
Note:After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend
additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas
where staining occurs. (Fig. 11) You can also brush your tongue, with
the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.
Your Philips Sonicare is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces).
- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers).
