Philips Sonicare HX 6902/02 [7/96] English

Using the Sonicare

Brushing instructions

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.

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

4 Apply light pressure to maximise the 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 your teeth.

Continue this motion throughout your brushing cycle.

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

into 4 sections using the Quadpacer (see chapter ‘Features’).

6 Begin brushing in section 1 (outside of upper teeth) and brush for 30

seconds before moving to section 2 (inside of upper teeth). Continue

brushing in section 3 (outside of lower teeth) and brush for 30

seconds before moving to section 4 (inside of lower teeth).

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.

Your Sonicare is safe to use on:

Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)

Dental restorations (ﬁ llings, crowns, veneers)

Personalising your brushing experience

The Sonicare automatically starts in the default Clean mode. To personalise

your brushing:

1 Before you switch on the Sonicare, press the Personalised Brushing

button to toggle between modes and routines.

Note: When the toothbrush is switched on, you can switch between modes but

not between routines. Routines have to be selected before you switch on the

appliance.
