Braun 4728 Series Electric Toothbrush User Manual


 
The Oral-B AdvancePower Kids has been
developed to effectively remove plaque from
children’s teeth. We hope your child will enjoy
his/her new Oral-B appliance.
This appliance is suitable for children 3 years
or older. Please read the use instructions
carefully and completely before showing
your children how to use the appliance. We
recommend that parents supervise their
children when they start using the appliance
in order to help them to become familiar
with it.
Important
Periodically check the cord for damage.
Should this be the case, take the charging
unit (E) to a Braun Service Center. A damaged
or non-functioning unit should no longer be
used.

Specifications
Power supply: see bottom of charging unit
Handle voltage: 1.2 V
Connecting and charging
The toothbrush is electrically safe and can
be used in the bathroom without hesitation.
Plug the charging unit into an electrical
outlet. Place the handle on the charging
unit. The handle must be switched off.
A full charge takes 16 hours and will
provide an operation time of approximately
20 minutes.
For everyday use, the handle can be
stored on the plugged-in charging unit
to maintain the toothbrush at full power.
Overcharging is impossible.
Battery maintenance
To maintain the maximum capacity of the
rechargeable battery, you must discharge it at
least once every 6 months. To do this, unplug
the charging unit and allow the battery to run
down with normal use.
Using the toothbrush
Use the following steps to show and explain
to your child how to use the appliance
properly:
Put a small amount of toothpaste onto the
brushhead.
To avoid splashing, guide the brushhead to
the teeth, before switching the appliance
on.
Start with the lower teeth: Slowly guide the
brushhead from tooth to tooth;
– first the outsides,
– then the insides and
– finally the chewing surfaces.
The Oral-B AdvancePower Kids auto-
matically provides the proper cleaning
action. Do not press too hard, nor scrub,
simply let the brush do all the work.
After one minute of operation, an incor-
porated timer signals by a short stutter.
This tells your child to move on the upper
teeth and clean them – again tooth by tooth –
until the next timer signal is given. This way
you can make sure that your child brushes
his/her teeth for at least 2 minutes as re-
commended by dental professionals.
Turn off the handle before taking the
brushhead out of the mouth.
Dentists recommend that you replace any
toothbrush every 3 months. The brushhead is
provided with a horizontal row of blue
INDICATOR
®
bristles (Ia). With proper
brushing twice a day for two minutes, the
color will fade half-way down the bristles in a
3-month period (Ib).
If bristles begin to splay before the color
recedes, this indicates that your child exerts
too much pressure on teeth and gums (Ic).
Replacement brushheads
EB10 replacement brushheads for children
are available at your retailer or at Braun
Service Centers.
Cleaning
After use, rinse the brushhead for several
seconds under running water with the handle
switched on (II). Then switch off the handle
and take off the brushhead. Rinse both parts
separately under running water (III) and wipe
them dry.
