Preparing for use
Installing/replacing batteries
Make sure your hands and the appliance are dry
when inserting the batteries.
Sonicare e3000 operates on two (2) AA-size 1.5-
volt alkaline batteries.
1
Remove the battery compartment cap from
the bottom of the handle by pulling on the
grips (Fig. 2).
2
Make sure the + and - poles of the batteries
match the appropriate location inside the
handle (Fig. 3).
3
Insert the batteries into the handle. (Fig. 4)
4
Firmly push the battery compartment cap
back onto the handle until it locks (Fig. 5).
To avoid damage due to battery leakage:
Note: Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight.
Note: Do not expose the appliance to extremely high
temperatures.
Note: Do not leave empty batteries in the appliance.
Note: Remove the batteries if the appliance is not
,
,
,
going to be used for a month or longer.
If this product is to be used in clinical trials, use
new alkaline batteries.
Batteries need to be replaced at least every 6
weeks during a clinical trial.
Attaching the brush head
1
Align the front of the brush head with the
front of the toothbrush handle. (Fig. 6)
2
Screw the brush head nut clockwise until
it’s firmly tightened. If the brush head rattles
during use, tighten the nut further (Fig. 7).
Using the appliance
Useful tips
Place the brush head in your mouth before
turning on your Sonicare, and be sure it is
turned off before removing it from your
mouth, otherwise toothpaste may splatter.
You may experience a slight tickling or
tingling sensation when using an electronic
toothbrush such as Sonicare for the first
time. As you become accustomed to brushing
with Sonicare, this sensitivity will diminish.
Brushing technique
Follow these simple steps to maximize your
brushing experience:
1
Before turning on, place the bristles of the
brush head on your gumline at a 45-degree
angle (Fig. 8).
2
Hold the handle with a light grip, turn on, and
gently move the bristles in a small circular
motion so the longer bristles reach between
your teeth. After a few seconds glide the
bristles to the next section. Continue this
routine throughout your 2-minute brushing
cycle.
3
To maximize effectiveness, apply only light
pressure and let the toothbrush do the
brushing for you. Do not scrub.
4
To make sure you brush evenly throughout
the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections:
outside top, inside top, outside bottom and
inside bottom teeth. Begin brushing in section
1 (outside top teeth) and brush for 30
seconds before moving to section 2 (inside
top teeth). Continue brushing each of the
other two sections for 30 seconds each until
you’ve brushed for 2 minutes (Fig. 9).
5
After having completed the 2-minute brushing
cycle, additional time can be spent brushing
the chewing surfaces of your teeth (Fig. 10).
6
Press the power button to turn the
toothbrush on and off as needed.
You may also brush your tongue, with the
toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.
Tips for specific oral care needs
Stain removal
In areas where staining occurs, spend extra
brushing time to assist with stain removal.
Braces (Fig. 8)
The brush should be placed at a 45-degree angle
between your brackets and gumline. While applying
light pressure, gently move the bristles in a small
circular motion so that the long bristles reach
between your teeth for 2 seconds. Then gently turn
(roll) the brush handle so the bristles clean the
bracket and the rest of the tooth before you move
the bristles to the next tooth. Continue this until
you have brushed all of your teeth. Please note
that brush heads will wear out sooner when used
on braces.
Dental restorations (dental work)
Use Sonicare on dental restorations (such as
implants, caps, crowns, bridges and fillings) as you
would on your normal tooth surfaces. Work the
bristles around all areas of the restoration for
thorough cleaning.
Features
Smartimer
\
2-minute timer
All Sonicare models come with the
Smartimer feature, which automatically
sets the brushing time to the 2 minutes
recommended by dental professionals.
After 2 minutes, the Smartimer will
automatically turn your Sonicare off.
If you wish to pause or stop brushing during
your 2-minute cycle, press the power button.
Press the power button again and the
Smartimer will pick up where you left off.
Note: The Smartimer will automatically reset to the
beginning of a 2-minute cycle if brushing is paused
for 30 seconds or longer.
Cleaning
By following these simple steps, you should get
years of worry-free brushing:
1
Rinse the brush head and bristles after each
use. Let the brush head air-dry only.
2
Clean the brush head at least once a week,
including under the nut.
3
Remove the nut by gently pressing on the
rubber seal (Fig. 11).
Avoid using sharp objects to press on the seal as
this may cause damage.

To reattach the nut, slip the nut over the
brush head shaft and pull it down until it
clicks back on (Fig. 11).
5
Clean the handle periodically with mild soap
and a moist cloth.
NOTE: Brush heads and the appliance should
never be placed in the dishwasher.
Storage
If the toothbrush is not going to be used for an
extended period of time (a month or longer), the
batteries should be removed, the appliance should
be cleaned and stored in a cool and dry area.
Replacement
Brush head
Sonicare brush heads should be replaced every
3 months to achieve optimal results.
Use only Sonicare e-series replacement brush
heads with the e3000 model.
