We recommend that parents supervise their children when they start using the appliance in order to help them to become familiar with it.

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 handle must be switched off.

•A full charge takes 16 hours and will provide an operation time of approximately 20 minutes.

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

Battery maintenance

To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, you must discharge it at least once every 6 months. To do this, unplug the charging unit and allow the battery to run down with normal use.

Using the toothbrush

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

•Put a small amount of toothpaste onto the brushhead.

•To avoid splashing, guide the brushhead to the teeth, before switching the appliance on.

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

–first the outsides,

–then the insides and

–finally the chewing surfaces.

•The Oral-B AdvancePower Kids auto- matically provides the proper cleaning action. Do not press too hard, nor scrub, simply let the brush do all the work.

•After one minute of operation, an incor- porated timer signals by a short stutter. This tells your child to move on the upper teeth and clean them – again tooth by tooth – until the next timer signal is given. This way you can make sure that your child brushes his/her teeth for at least 2 minutes as re- commended by dental professionals.

•Turn off the handle before taking the brushhead out of the mouth.

Dentists recommend that you replace any toothbrush every 3 months. The brushhead is provided with a horizontal row of blue INDICATOR® bristles (Ia). With proper brushing twice a day for two minutes, the color will fade half-way down the bristles in a 3-month period (Ib).

If bristles begin to splay before the color recedes, this indicates that your child exerts too much pressure on teeth and gums (Ic).

Replacement brushheads

EB10 replacement brushheads for children are 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 (II). Then switch off the handle and take off the brushhead. Rinse both parts separately under running water (III) and wipe them dry.
