Connecting and charging, Dear parents

Dear parents,

The Braun Oral-B Kids’ Power Toothbrush has been developed with leading dental professionals to effec- tively remove plaque from children’s teeth. It will make it easier for your child to brush properly and thoroughly. We hope your child will enjoy his/her new Braun Oral-B appliance.

This appliance is suitable for children 3 years or older. Please read the use instructions carefully and completely before showing your child how to use the appliance. We recommend that parents supervise their children when they start using the appliance in order to help them become familiar with it.

Important

Periodically check the cord for damage. Should this be the case, take the charging unit (E) to a Braun Service Center. A damaged or non- functioning unit should no longer be used.

Connecting and charging

The toothbrush is electrically safe and can be used in the bathroom without hesitation.

•Plug the charging unit into an electrical outlet. Place the handle on the charging unit. The charge indicator will light up (1).

•A full charge takes 16 hours and will provide an operation time of 30 minutes.

•For everyday use, the handle can be stored on the plugged-in charging unit to maintain the appliance at full power. Overcharging is impossible.

Battery maintenance

To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, unplug the charging unit and discharge the handle by regular use at least every 6 months.

Using the electric toothbrush with music timer

Use the following steps to show and explain to your child how to use the appliance properly:

•When the handle is taken from the plugged-in charging unit, a short melody will sound.

•Put a small amount of toothpaste onto the brushhead. (We re- commend fluoride toothpaste.)

•First guide the brushhead to the teeth, only then turn on the handle with switch (B).

•Start with the lower teeth: Slowly guide the brushhead from tooth to tooth;

–first the outsides,

–then the insides,

–finally the chewing surfaces.

Do not scrub or press too hard. The Braun Oral-B Kids’ Power Toothbrush automatically provides the proper cleaning action.

•After one minute of operation, the brush movement will be inter- rupted by a short melody. This tells your child to move on to the upper teeth. Clean them – again tooth by tooth – until the next melody plays (after another minute of operation). This way you can make sure that your child brushes his/her teeth for at least 2 minutes as recommended by dental professionals.

•Turn off the handle with switch

(B) while the brushhead is still in the mouth.

We recommend that you replace the brushhead every three months. The brushhead is provided with a row of blue INDICATOR® bristles (2a). With proper brushing twice a day for two minutes, the color will disappear half-way down these bristles in a

3-month period (2b), provided tooth- paste is used. If bristles begin to splay before the color starts to recede, this indicates that your child exerts too much pressure on teeth and gums (2c).

Replacement brushheads EB10 Available at your retailer or at Braun Service Centers.

Cleaning

After use, rinse the brushhead for several seconds under running water with the handle switched on (3). Then switch off the handle and take off the brushhead. Rinse both parts separately under running water (4) and wipe them dry before putting the handle back onto the charging unit.
