Important
◗Make sure the socket is live when you
recharge the toothbrush.The electricity
supply to sockets in mirror cabinets over
washbasins or shaver sockets in bathrooms
may be cut off when the light is turned off.
◗Charge the toothbrush for at least 16 hours
before you use it for the first time.
◗The cord of the appliance cannot be replaced.
If the cord is damaged,you should have the
appliance replaced by Philips or a service
centre authorised by Philips in order to avoid
hazardous situations.
◗The mains plug of the appliance meets the
latest European standards.The plug is safe,
although the standard UK shaver socket holes
may be slightly too wide for the pins of the
plug.Make sure a proper connection is made.
◗When you use the water jet for the first time
or when you have not used it for a long time,
it is necessary to set the volume control to its
maximum position to make the water start
flowing to the jet tip.If the water doesn't flow
out after 10 seconds,put the jet tip in your
mouth and suck it for a few seconds.
◗If an "NiCd" indication is present on your
appliance,the built-in rechargeable battery
contains substances that may pollute the
enviroment.When you discard the toothbrush
in due course,remove the battery and
dispose of it in an environmentally safe way.

Preparing the appliance for use
Mounting the base unit to the wall
C1Mount the base unit to the wall,using
2 screws (3.5x30mm) and 2 wall plugs (S5)
(not included).
To drill the holes in the right places,you can use
the drilling stencil on the last page of these
directions for use.
Do not allow the base unit to come into contact
with water.
Using the toothbrush
Charging the toothbrush
C1Charge the appliance for at least 16 hours
before using it for the first time.
Make sure the appliance is switched off when you
start charging it.
◗Type HX2745 only:when the battery is being
charged,the green pilot light is on.
Tip:you can put the toothbrush in the base unit
and let it charge continuously.
However,when you first start using the
toothbrush,it is recommended that you use it
until the battery is empty.To do so,use the
toothbrush in the normal way without recharging
it between brushing sessions.Recharge the
ENGLISH 5

toothbrush when the motor almost stops
running.Repeat this procedure 3 times in a row.
To extend the lifetime of the battery,repeat this
procedure every 6 months.
How to use the toothbrush
C1Mount the brush attachment onto the
toothbrush by inserting it into the bayonet
catch and turning it clockwise a quarter of
a turn.
2Put toothpaste on the brush.
C3Place the brush head in your mouth.
C4Switch the appliance on.
For the best brushing method,minimal brushing
time and functions of the toothbrush,see the
'Brushing tips' section below.
Brushing tips
C1Place the brush head against the tooth in
such a way that it covers the surface of the
tooth as well as the gum line.
- The round brush head removes plaque from
the teeth and beneath the gum line.
- The individually moving ActiveTip cleans
between the teeth.

2Hold the brush head in this position for a
few seconds and then move on to the next
tooth.
◗Make sure you clean all surfaces of the teeth
(inside,outside and chewing surface) as well
as the gum line properly.A fixed brushing
pattern will prevent you from skipping certain
areas.
◗In general,2 minutes will be enough to clean
your teeth properly.Naturally,you can also
brush longer than 2 minutes.
Type HX2745 only:a red pilot light will blink to
indicate that 2 minutes have passed.
The Gum Protection system guarantees that you
do not exert too much pressure on the teeth and
gums.
C◗If you exert too much pressure on the
toothbrush,you will feel and hear a click
when the brush head flexes backwards.As
soon as you reduce the pressure,the brush
head will return to its normal position.This
will protect your gums.
Tip:if plaque is removed properly,the gums will
have a pink colour and will firmly surround the
teeth.Healthy gums do not bleed when you eat
or brush your teeth.If,nevertheless,your gums
bleed slightly the first few times you use the
toothbrush,this bleeding will generally stop after a
few days.If it does not,consult your dentist or
dental hygienist.

Cleaning the toothbrush
C1Switch the toothbrush on and rinse the
brush attachment under the tap with
lukewarm water (max.60cC).
C2Switch the toothbrush off.Detach the
brush attachment and rinse the inside.
C3Switch the toothbrush on again to rinse
toothpaste residues from the drive shaft.
C4Store the brush attachment in the brush
compartment.
Brush head replacement
1Replace the brush attachment every
3 months for the best brushing results.
BWorn bristles will move plaque around rather than
remove it.They may also damage the gums.It is
therefore important that you replace the brush
head every three months.
ENGLISH8

BThe brush attachment should also be replaced
when the bristles start to bend outwards.
You can obtain new brush attachments from the
shop in which you purchased the appliance.
Using the water jet
When you use the water jet for the first time or
when you have not been using it for a few days:
C1Click the jet tip onto the appliance.
C2Remove the water reservoir from the base
unit.
C3Fill the water reservoir with lukewarm
water.

ENGLISH 9

C6Push the slide on the handgrip upwards to
make the water start running.
When you use the water jet for the first time,let
the appliance run until the water reservoir is
completely empty (let the water drain away into
the washbasin).You can then refill the water
reservoir and start using the appliance.
Tip:for extra freshness,you can add mouthwash
to the water in the water reservoir.After using
mouthwash,fill the water reservoir with clean
water and let the appliance run until the water
reservoir is empty (let the water drain away into
the washbasin).
How to use the water jet

turning the control ring.

setting while you are getting accustomed to the
oral water jet and when you are troubled by gum
inflammation.

tip close to your teeth.
