you use it for the first time.
Make sure the appliance is switched off when you
,
start to charge it (Fig. 2).
You can leave the toothbrush in the charger and let
,

After you have charged the toothbrush for the first time,
do not recharge it between brushings. Continue to use it
until the battery is empty before you recharge it again.
- Recharge the appliance when the motor almost
stops running.
- Repeat this procedure three times in a row.
- To extend the lifetime of the battery, repeat this
procedure every 6 months.
Using the appliance
1
To mount the brush head on the toothbrush, insert
it into the bayonet catch and turn it clockwise a
quarter turn (Fig. 3).
This prevents the brush head from becoming detached
due to vibration.
2
Put toothpaste on the brush head.
3
Place the brush head in your mouth (Fig. 4).
4
Press the on/off button to switch on the
toothbrush and start to brush your teeth (Fig. 5).

Brushing tips
Brushing method
1
Place the brush head against the tooth in such a
way that it covers the surface of the tooth as well
as the gum line (Fig. 6).
2
Hold the brush head in this position for a
few seconds and then move on to the next
tooth (Fig. 7).
The round brush head removes plaque from the teeth
and beneath the gum line.
The individually moving Active Tip cleans between the
teeth.
3
Guide the brush head carefully along the teeth and
molars (Fig. 8).
Tip: 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 prevents you from
skipping certain areas.
Tip: For optimal dental hygiene, use dental floss and
toothpicks in addition to the electric toothbrush.
Minimum brushing time
A brushing time of 2 minutes is generally long enough
to clean your teeth properly. If you want, you can brush
longer than 2 minutes for an even more thorough clean.
Note: 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.
Note: If your gums bleed slightly the first few times you use
this toothbrush, this bleeding will generally stop after a few
days. If your gums continue to bleed, consult your dentist or
dental hygienist.
Cleaning and storage
1
Switch on the toothbrush and rinse the brush head
under a hot tap (max. 60 c C). (Fig. 9)
2
Switch off the toothbrush. Detach the brush head
and rinse the inside of the brush head (Fig. 10).
3
Switch on the toothbrush and rinse the drive
shaft under the tap to remove toothpaste
residues (Fig. 11).
4
Store the brush head on the brush head storage pin
on the charger.
5
Clean the charger with a moist cloth (Fig. 12).
Unplug the charger before you start to clean it.
Replacement
1
Replace the brush head every 3 months for the
best brushing results.
Also replace the brush head when the bristles start
,
to bend outwards.
You can obtain new brush heads from the shop where
you purchased the toothbrush.
All round Philips replacement brush heads can be used.

Do not throw away the appliance with the normal
,
household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in

,
substances that may pollute the environment.
Always remove the battery before you discard the
appliance and hand it in at an official collection

point for batteries. If you have trouble removing the
battery, you can also take the appliance to a Philips
