A full charge will take 16 hours and will provide 45 minutes operation time. For everyday use, the handle can be stored on the charging base to maintain it at full power. Battery maintenance To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, the following procedure should be done every 6 months : Do not place the handle back onto the charging base in order to discharge it by regular use. [. . . ] INDICATOR® brushhead Dentists recommend that you replace any toothbrush every 3 months, since worn bristles do not remove plaque as effectively as new ones. Therefore, the brushhead is provided with indicator bristles. With proper brushing twice a day for two minutes using toothpaste, the colour will disappear half-way down the bristles in a 3-month period. After use Rinse the brushhead thoroughly under running water for several seconds with the handle switched on. Switch off the handle and take off the brushhead. Clean both parts separately under running water, then wipe them dry. Environmental notice The plaque remover handle is provided with a nickelhydride rechargeable battery. To protect the environment, do not dispose of the product in the household waste at the end of its useful life. Open the handle as shown, remove the battery and dispose of it at your retail store or at appropriate collection sites according to national or local regulations. Before using for the first time, fill the water container and allow the water to run through completely by holding the irrigator handle over a washbasin. Fill the water container with water and add mouthwash, if desired. Turn on the irrigator by pressing the blue on /off switch. ( When doing so, the sliding switch on the handle should not be pushed up. Select the water pressure with the pressure control dial ( 1 = gentle, 5 = strong ). We recommend that you start with setting 1, especially if your gums tend to bleed or if children are using the irrigator. Keep your mouth slightly open to allow the water to run into the washbasin. You can choose between two different jet functions by sliding the jet switch down or up (before doing so, turn off the water stream by pushing the sliding switch down): Rotating stream for general cleaning and gum massage ( jet switch in lower position) The rotation of the water stream and its micro-bubbles is designed for easy penetration below the gumline. Operating time: 15 minutes Cooling off time: 2 hours After use Always empty the water container entirely. Otherwise bacteria could collect in the remaining water, if the unit is not used for some time. Should your dentist have recommended use of a chlorhexidine solution with your irrigator, allow some water to run through the irrigator after use with chlorhexidine, to prevent any deposit build-up.
