2. Operation
2.1 Brushing Technique
Moisten the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste. Place the toothbrush bristles against your teeth at a slight angle towards the gumline. Press the power button to start brushing.
2.2 QuadPacer and Smartimer Features
The Philips Sonicare DailyClean 1100 features a QuadPacer and Smartimer to guide your brushing. The Smartimer ensures you brush for the dentist-recommended 2 minutes, automatically shutting off when the time is complete. The QuadPacer signals every 30 seconds, prompting you to move to the next quadrant of your mouth for an even and thorough clean.
2.3 Sonic Technology
This toothbrush utilizes advanced sonic technology, pulsing water between teeth and using high-speed brush strokes to break up and sweep away plaque. This method is clinically proven to remove up to 3 times more plaque than a manual toothbrush.
3. Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning the Toothbrush
After each use, rinse the brush head and handle thoroughly under running water. Wipe the handle dry with a soft cloth. Do not immerse the handle in water for extended periods.
3.2 Replacing the Brush Head
For optimal performance and hygiene, replace the brush head every three months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed. Click-on brush heads are easy to replace.
