Brushing instructions
1
Press the brush head onto the handle in such a way that the
bristles will face the front of the handle. (Fig. 4)
2 Firmly press the brush head down onto the metal shaft until it
stops.
Note: It is normal to see a slight gap between the brush head and
the handle.
3 Wet the bristles. (Fig. 5)
4 Apply a small amount of toothpaste on the bristles. (Fig. 6)
5
Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle (45
degrees), pressing firmly to make the bristles reach the gumline or
slightly beneath the gumline. (Fig. 7) A change in vibration (and a
slight change in sound) alerts you when you apply too much
pressure while brushing.
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all
times.
6 Press the power on/off button to turn on the Philips Sonicare. (Fig.
8)
7 Gently keep the bristles placed on the teeth and in the gumline.
Brush your teeth with small back and forth motion so the bristles
reach between the teeth. (Fig. 9)
Note: The bristles should slightly flare. Do not scrub.

To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush handle
semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing
strokes on each tooth. (Fig. 10)
