8. Operation
CAUTION:
Users could possibly experience mild
bleeding of the gums during the first
days of electric toothbrush usage.
Should the bleeding continue over sev-
eral days, a dentist should be consult-
ed.
If you have had dental surgery in the
last two months, consult a dentist before
using the toothbrush.
Exert only light pressure when brushing
to prevent damage to the gums and to
increase the service life of the bristles.

6. Slowly guide the brush head 1 from
tooth to tooth without exerting too much
pressure. Carefully clean all tooth sur-
faces, the inner surfaces of the teeth
and the tooth edges.
Figure A: the recommended brushing
time is at least 2 minutes, divided up
into 30-second periods for each area of
the mouth (bottom right, bottom left, top
right, top left). The toothbrush 10 indi-
cates these intervals by two brief inter-
ruptions.
NOTE: if the brush head 1 is pressed against
the teeth too hard, the LED 6 lights up red.
You should then reduce the pressure.
7. At the end of the 2-minute cycle, the
toothbrush switches off automatically.
Remove the brush head 1 from the
mouth only when the toothbrush 10 has
been switched off.

after infections (see "Ordering tooth-
brush heads" on page 11).
