Using your Philips Sonicare
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 rmly 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.
3 Press the power on/o and mode button to
turn on the Philips Sonicare.
4Apply light pressure to maximize Philips
Sonicare’s eectiveness 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.
Continue this motion throughout the brushing
cycle.
6 To 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’).

7Begin brushing in section 1 (outside upper
teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before
you move to section 2 (inside upper teeth).
Continue brushing in section 3 (outside lower
teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before you
move to section 4 (inside lower teeth).
Note: When using the White mode, two
additional 15 second intervals can be used for
polishing your front teeth.
8 After 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 turned on or o,
as you prefer.
Your Philips Sonicare is safe to use on:
-Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when
used on braces).
-Dental restorations (llings, crowns, veneers).
Note: Ensure that braces or dental restorations are
properly adhered and not compromised. If not,
braces or dental restorations may be damaged when
they come into contact with the brush head.
Note: When the Philips Sonicare is used in clinical
studies, the default 2-minute Clean mode with high
intensity must be selected. The handle should be
fully charged and the Easy-start feature deactivated.

battery is completely empty when you remove it.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need
a towel or cloth, a hammer and a at-head

charge, remove the handle from the charger,
turn on the Philips Sonicare and let it run until it
stops. Repeat this step until you can no longer
turn on the Philips Sonicare.
2Remove and discard the brush head. Cover the
entire handle with a towel or cloth.
3Hold the top of the handle with one hand and
strike the handle housing 0.5 inch above the
bottom end. Strike rmly with a hammer on all
4 sides to eject the end cap.
Note: You may have to hit on the end several
times to break the internal snap connections.

handle. If the end cap does not release easily
from the housing, repeat step 3 until the end
