Description

A Brush head (depending on model/ interchangeable) B On/off switch C Handle D Charging unit Specifications For voltage specifications please refer to the bottom of the charging unit.

Connecting and charging

Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and designed for use in the bathroom. Plug the charging unit (D) into an electrical outlet. Place the handle (C) on the charging unit. A full charge takes 16 hours and enables approximately one week of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes). For everyday use, the handle can be stored on the plugged-in charging unit to maintain the toothbrush at full power. Overcharging is impossible. However for environmental reasons, Oral-B recommends to unplug the charging unit until the next recharge is required. Battery maintenance To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, unplug the charging unit and discharge the handle by regular use at least every 6 months.

Using the toothbrush

The toothbrush can be used with any leading brand of toothpaste. Wet brush head and apply toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching the appliance on (B). Slowly guide the brush head from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface. Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then the insides and finally the chewing surfaces (15). Brush at least 2 minutes to 7

thoroughly remove plaque. Do not press too hard or scrub. Turn off the handle by pressing the on/off switch. Timer (depending on model) An incorporated timer memorises the elapsed brushing time. A short stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time.

Individual brush heads and accessories
Oral-B Professional Care offers you a variety of brush heads which are available in stores that sell Oral-B products. Following brush heads are interchangeable and can be used on your Oral-B Vitality handle. Oral-B Precision Clean brush head The Oral-B Precision Clean brush head provides effective and gentle cleaning to help protect both teeth and gums. The brush head cups each tooth with a curved bristle trim and reaches deep between teeth at the same time. Oral-B FlossAction brush head The Oral-B FlossAction brush head is recommended for everyday deep cleaning. It features micropulse bristles that get deep in hard-to-reach areas between your teeth, gently removinng hidden plaque. Oral-B ProWhite brush head For occasional or everyday polishing, please use the Oral-B ProWhite brush head. It features a dentist-inspired polishing cup to remove surface stains from coffee, tea and tobacco for effective brightening. We do not recommend using the Oral-B ProWhite brush head with braces. Dentists recommend replacing any toothbrush every 3 months. Therefore the brush heads feature light blue INDICATOR bristles to help you monitor brush head replacement need (I.a.). With thorough brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway down approximately in a 3-month period (I.b). If the bristles splay before the colour recedes (I.c), you are exerting too much pressure on teeth and gums. During the first days of using the toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after two weeks, please consult your dentist or dental hygienist.

Cleaning

After use, rinse the brush head for several seconds under running water with the handle switched on (II). Then switch off the handle and take off the brush head. Rinse both parts separately under running water (III) and wipe them dry. From time to time, also clean the charging unit with a damp cloth (IV).
