1Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.

2Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle towards the gumline.

3Press the power on/off button to switch on the Sonicare.

4Apply light pressure to maximize Sonicare’s effectiveness and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.

5Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth. Continue this motion throughout your brushing cycle.

Note:To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).

6Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing in section 3 (outside bottom teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to section 4 (inside bottom teeth).

7After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can

spend additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas where staining occurs.You may also brush your tongue,

with the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer. Your Sonicare is safe to use on:
