Preparing for use
Applying the replaceable panel
The Sonicare For Kids comes with 1 replaceable panel.
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.
3 Apply your favorite sticker to the panel as shown on the sticker sheet (Fig. 3).
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. 4)
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. 5).
, The battery charge indicator in the power on/off button flashes to indicate that
the toothbrush is charging.
, When the Sonicare is fully charged, the battery charge indicator stops flashing
and remains on.
Note: If the battery charge of the Sonicare is low, you hear 3 beeps and the battery charge
indicator flashes 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.
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. 6).
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. 7).
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. 8).
The Sonicare For Kids is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)
- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)
Brushing modes
The toothbrush automatically starts in the default high mode.
1 Press the brushing mode button to toggle between modes. (Fig. 9)
, 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.
