Preparing for use

Applying the interchangeable panel

The Sonicare For Kids comes with 3 different

interchangeable panels.

1 Remove the adhesive backing from the panel.

2 Apply the panel to the white section on the front

of the handle (Fig. 2).

Note: Make sure you line up the cut-out areas on the panel

with the buttons on the front of the handle.

Reapplying a panel that has been removed

1 Rinse the panel in warm water; you may also use

a mild detergent to clean it.

2 Let the panel air dry.

3 Reapply the panel to the white section on the front

of the handle.

Attaching the brush head

1 Align the brush head so the bristles point in the

same direction as the front of the handle. (Fig. 3)

2 Firmly press the brush head onto the metal shaft

until it stops.

Note: There is a small gap between the brush head and the

handle.

Charging the Sonicare

1 Put the mains plug of the charger in the wall socket.

2 Place the handle on the charger (Fig. 4).

, The battery charge indicator in the power on/off

button ashes to indicate that the toothbrush is

charging.

, When the Sonicare is fully charged, the battery

charge indicator stops ashing and remains on.

Note: If the battery charge of the Sonicare is low, you hear 3

beeps and the battery charge indicator ashes rapidly for 30

seconds after the brushing cycle.

Note: To keep the battery fully charged at all times, you may

keep the Sonicare on the charger when not in use. When

the battery is fully charged, the charger uses a minimal

amount of energy. It takes at least 24 hours to fully charge

the battery.

Tip: For extra convenience during travel, you can remove the

travel charger and use it without the charger cover.

Using the Sonicare For Kids

Brushing instructions

For children under age 8, it is recommended that a parent

or adult caregiver perform toothbrushing.

1 Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of

toothpaste.

2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a

slight angle towards the gumline (Fig. 5).

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

Sonicare.

4 Apply light pressure to maximise Sonicare’s

effectiveness and let the Sonicare toothbrush do

the brushing for you.

5 Gently move the brush head slowly across the

teeth in a small back and forth motion so the

longer bristles reach between the teeth. Continue

this motion throughout the brushing cycle.

Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth,

divide the mouth into 4 sections using the KidPacer feature

(see chapter ‘Features’).

6 Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth)

until a tune indicates it is time to move to section

2 (inside top teeth). At the next tune, move to

section 3 (outside bottom teeth). The next tune

indicates it is time to move to section 4 (inside

bottom teeth). The toothbrush automatically

switches off at end of the brushing cycle (Fig. 6).

7 After 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 switched on or off, as you

prefer (Fig. 7).

The Sonicare For Kids is safe to use on:

- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on

braces)

- Dental restorations (llings, crowns, veneers)

Brushing modes

The toothbrush automatically starts in the default high

mode.

1 Press the brushing mode button to toggle between

modes. (Fig. 8)

, The green mode light indicates the selected mode.

- High mode: Full-strength mode designed for older/

independent brushers.

- Low mode: Reduced power mode used for training

and introducing younger children to the sonic

experience.

Features

KidTimer

- The KidTimer plays a congratulatory tune at the end

of the pre-determined brushing time. Additionally,

the KidTimer automatically switches off the Sonicare

when the brushing cycle is complete.

- When in high mode, the KidTimer is set at 2 minutes.

- When in low mode, the KidTimer is set at 1 minute

and slowly increases to 2 minutes over time. This

slow increase in brushing time helps young children

reach the dentist recommended 2 minutes of

brushing.

Note: Instruct your child to brush until they hear the

congratulatory tune and the toothbrush switches off.

KidPacer

The KidPacer uses a short tune to alert the brusher

to move to the next brushing quadrant of the mouth.

This ensures that the teeth get a thorough, overall clean,

see section ‘Brushing instructions’ in chapter ‘Using the

Sonicare For Kids’.

Easy-start

- The Sonicare For Kids comes with the Easy-start

feature activated.

- The Easy-start feature gently increases the power

over the rst 14 brushings.

Note: Each of the rst 14 brushings must be at least 1

minute in length to properly advance through the Easy-start

ramp-up cycle.

Deactivating or activating the Easy-start

feature

1 Attach the brush head to the handle.

2 Place the handle in the plugged-in charger.

- To deactivate Easy-start:

Press and hold the power on/off button for 2 seconds.

You hear 1 beep to indicate that the Easy-start feature

has been deactivated.

- To activate Easy-start:

Press and hold the power on/off button for 2 seconds.

You hear 2 beeps to indicate that the Easy-start feature

has been activated.

Note: Using the Easy-start feature beyond the initial ramp-

up period is not recommended and reduces Sonicare’s

effectiveness in removing plaque.

Cleaning

Do not clean brush heads, handle, charger, charger

cover or interchangeable panels in the dishwasher or a

microwave.

Toothbrush handle

1 Remove the brush head and rinse the metal shaft

area with warm water (Fig. 9).

Do not push on the rubber seal on the metal shaft with

sharp objects, as this may cause damage.

2 Use a damp cloth to wipe the entire surface of the

handle.

Brush head

1 Rinse the brush head and bristles after each

use (Fig. 10).
