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).
