2. Operating Instructions
Attaching the Brush Head
Ensure the brush head is securely attached to the handle before use.
- Align the brush head with the metal shaft on the toothbrush handle.
- Push the brush head down firmly until it clicks into place.
Brushing Your Teeth
Follow these steps for an effective brushing experience:

- Place the brush head against your teeth, holding it at a slight angle towards the gum line.
- Press the power button to turn on the toothbrush.
- Gently guide the brush head from tooth to tooth, allowing the rotating bristles to clean each surface. Do not scrub aggressively.

- After brushing, rinse your mouth and the brush head thoroughly.
3. Maintenance
Replacing the Brush Head
For optimal hygiene and cleaning effectiveness, replace your brush head regularly.
- Dentists recommend replacing your toothbrush head every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed or worn.
- To remove, simply pull the brush head straight off the handle.
- To attach a new brush head, align it with the shaft and push down until it clicks.
Cleaning the Toothbrush
Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and extends the life of your toothbrush.
- After each use, rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water while the handle is still on.
- Remove the brush head and rinse both the brush head and the handle separately under running water.
- Wipe the handle dry with a clean cloth.
- Store the toothbrush in an upright position to allow it to air dry.
4. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Oral-B Vitality electric toothbrush, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Toothbrush not turning on: Ensure the toothbrush is fully charged. Place it on the charger for at least 30 minutes and try again. Verify the power outlet is functional.
- Reduced brushing power: The battery may be low; place the toothbrush on the charger. If the issue persists after charging, the brush head might be worn and require replacement.
- Brush head not rotating effectively: Check if the brush head is securely attached to the handle. If it is, and the power is on, consider replacing the brush head.
- Unusual noise or vibration: Ensure the brush head is correctly attached. If the noise persists, the internal mechanism might be affected. Contact customer support if necessary.
