Cleaning Recommendations - Braun ORAL-B PROFESSIONAL CARE 500 Mode D'emploi

Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof
handle, is electrically safe and
designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the basic charger (E) or the
assembled charging unit (E/F) into an
electrical outlet and place the
toothbrush handle (C) on there. For
voltage specifications refer to the
bottom of the charging unit.
• The green charge indicator light (D)
flashes while the handle is being
charged. When fully charged, the
green charge indicator light will
continuously shine for 5 seconds
and turn off. A full charge takes at
least 18 hours and enables approxi-
mately one week of regular brushing
(twice a day, 2 minutes) (1).
Note: If the green light is not flashing
immediately, continue charging. It
will appear in 10–15 minutes.
• When the rechargeable battery is
low, the red charge indicator light (D)
starts flashing after turning off the
toothbrush.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush
handle can be stored on the
plugged-in charging unit; there is no
risk of overcharging. However for
environmental reasons, Oral-B
recommends to unplug the charging
unit until the next recharge is
required.
• To maintain the maximum capacity
of the rechargeable battery, unplug
the charging unit and fully discharge
the handle with regular use at least
every 6 months.
Using the toothbrush
Wet brush head and apply toothpaste;
you can use any kind of toothpaste. To
avoid splashing, guide the brush head
to your teeth before switching the
appliance on (2). Guide the brush head
slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a
few seconds on each tooth surface.
Start brushing the outsides, then the
insides, finally the chewing surfaces
(3). Do not press too hard or scrub.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second
intervals reminds you to brush all four
quadrants of your mouth equally (4). A
long stuttering sound indicates the end
of the professionally recommended
2-minute brushing time. The elapsed
brushing time is memorised when the
handle is briefly switched off during
brushing. When pausing longer than
30 seconds the timer resets.
Pressure Sensor
Your toothbrush has a pressure control
feature installed. If too much pressure
is applied, the oscillating movement of
the brush head will continue but the
pulsation will stop. In addition you will
hear a different sound while brushing.

INDICATOR
monitor brush head replacement need.
With thorough brushing, twice a day
for two minutes, the blue color will
fade halfway approximately within
3 months, signalling it is time to
replace the brush head (3a–c).
In the first few days of using any
electric toothbrush, your gums may
bleed slightly. In general bleeding
should stop after a few days. Should it
persist after 2 weeks, please consult
your dentist or dental hygienist.

Cleaning recommendations

After brushing, rinse the brush head
under running water with the handle
switched on. Switch off and remove
the brush head. Clean both parts
separately under running water and
wipe them dry. From time to time also
clean the charging unit with a damp
cloth (5). The brush head holder (F) is
dishwasher-safe.
