Operating Instructions

Brushing Technique

1. Wet the brush head and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
2. Place the brush head against your teeth at a slight angle towards the gumline.
3. Press the power button to turn on the toothbrush.
4. Gently move the brush head slowly across each tooth, allowing the sonic vibrations to clean. Do not scrub.
5. The toothbrush features a QuadPacer, which pauses briefly every 30 seconds to indicate when to move to the next quadrant of your mouth.
6. The SmarTimer automatically turns off the toothbrush after 2 minutes, signaling the completion of the dentist-recommended brushing time.

The advanced sonic technology of the PHILIPS Sonicare electric toothbrush gently and effectively reaches deep between teeth and along the gumline, providing up to 7x more plaque removal than a manual toothbrush.
