shaft until it will not go any further.
Note: It is normal to see a slight gap between the
brush head and the handle.
Using your Philips Sonicare toothbrush
If you are using your Sonicare toothbrush for the first
time, it is normal to feel more vibration than when using

13
English
a non-electric toothbrush. It is common for first-time
users to apply too much pressure. Only apply gentle
pressure and let the toothbrush do the brushing for you.
Please follow the brushing instructions below for the best
experience.
To help you transition to your new Sonicare power
toothbrush, use a lower intensity setting for the first 1-2
weeks then transition to a higher setting.
Brushing instructions

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 switch 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. It is not
recommended to scrub as you would with a manual
toothbrush.
Note: If you apply too much pressure, you will be
alerted by a change in vibration of the handle and a
flashing purple brushing feedback light.

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.
6After you have completed the brushing 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
switched on or off, as you prefer.
Note: Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on
braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on
braces) and dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)
if they are properly adhered and not compromised.

tracks brush head wear in order to determine the
optimal time to replace your brush head. This feature
guarantees the best cleaning and care of your teeth.
