• This appliance contains batteries that are non-replaceable. Do not open and disassemble device. For battery recycling please dispose whole device according to local environmental regulations. Opening the handle will destroy the appliance and invalidate the warranty.
• When unplugging, always hold the power plug instead of the cord. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. This can cause an electric shock.

• To avoid brush head breakage which may generate a small parts choking hazard or damage teeth:
  • Prior to each use, ensure the brush head fits well. Discontinue use of the toothbrush, if brush head no longer fits properly. Never use without a brush head.
  • If the toothbrush handle is dropped, the brush head should be replaced before the next use even if no damage is visible.
  • Replace brush head every 3 months or sooner if brush head becomes worn.

Specifications

Noise level: ≤ 65 dB (A)

Charging and Operating

Your toothbrush is electrically safe and designed for use in the bathroom.

You may use your toothbrush right away or charge it briefly by placing it on the plugged-in charger (g).

Note: In case the battery is empty (no charging light illuminated (e/f) while charging or no reaction when pressing the on/off button (c)), charge at least for 30 minutes.

The green charge indicator light (e) flashes while the handle is being charged. Once it is fully charged, the light turns off. A full charge typically takes 12 hours and enables at least 2 weeks of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes) (picture 1).

Note: After deep discharge, the charge indicator light might not flash immediately; it can take up to 30 minutes.

If the battery is running low, the red charge indicator light (f) is flashing for a few seconds when turning your toothbrush on/off and the motor is reducing its speed. Once the battery is empty, the motor will stop; it will need at least a 30-minute charge for one usage.

You can always store the handle on the plugged-in charging unit; a battery overcharge is prevented by device.

Note: Store handle at room temperature for optimal battery maintenance.

Caution: Do not expose handle to temperatures higher than 50 °C. Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 5 °C to 35 °C.

Using Your Toothbrush

Brushing Technique

Wet brush head and apply any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching on the appliance (picture 2). When brushing your teeth with one of the Oral-B oscillating-rotating brush heads guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface (picture 5). When using the Oral-B «TriZone» brush head place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle towards the gumline. Apply light pressure and start brushing in back and forth motions, just like you would do with a manual toothbrush.

With any brush head do not forget to brush all 3 surfaces of your teeth: chewing, outer and inner surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally. You may also consult your dentist or dental hygienist about the right technique for you.

In the first days of using any electric toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or dental hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and/or gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode (depending on model) (optional in combination with an Oral-B «Sensitive» brush head).

Brushing Modes (depending on model)

Note: Modes may vary by handle type (e.g., handle type 3766).

How to switch between modes:

Your toothbrush automatically starts in the «Daily Clean» mode. To switch to other modes, successively press the on/off button. Switch off the toothbrush by holding the on/off button until the motor stops.

Professional Timer

A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally (picture 3). A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time. If the toothbrush is turned off during brushing, the elapsed brushing time will be memorised for 30 seconds. When pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets.

Pressure Sensor

If too much pressure is applied, the pressure sensor light (b) (depending on model) will light up in red, notifying you to reduce the pressure. The oscillation movement of the brush head will be reduced (during «Daily Clean», and «Sensitive» mode) (picture 4). Periodically check the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing moderately on the brush head during use.

Brush Heads

Most Oral-B brush heads feature light blue INDICATOR® bristles to help you monitor brush head replacement need. With thorough brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway approximately within 3 months, indicating the need to exchange your brush head. If the bristles splay before the color recedes, you may exert too much pressure on teeth and gums.

We do not recommend using the Oral-B «FlossAction» or Oral-B «3D White» brush head with braces. You may use the Oral-B «Ortho» brush head, specifically designed to clean around braces and wires.

Cleaning Recommendations

After brushing, rinse your brush head under running water with the handle switched on. Switch off and remove the brush head. Clean handle and brush head separately; wipe them dry before reassembling. Unplug the charging unit before cleaning. Brush head compartment/protective cover (i) and brush head holder (h) are dishwasher-safe. The charger (g) and travel case (j) should be cleaned with a damp cloth only (picture 6).

Make sure to store only cleaned and dried handle/brush heads in the travel case (j).
