Disposal

Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste

at the end of its life, but hand it in at an ofﬁ cial collection point for

recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment.

The built-in rechargeable battery contains substances that may pollute

the environment. Always remove the battery before you discard and

hand in the appliance at an ofﬁ cial collection point. Dispose of the

battery at an ofﬁ cial collection point for batteries. If you have trouble

removing the battery, you can also take the appliance to a Philips

service centre. The staff of this centre will remove the battery for you

and will dispose of it in an environmentally safe way.

Removing the rechargeable battery

Please note that this process is not reversible.

it stops. Repeat this step until you can no longer switch on the

Sonicare.

bottom of the handle and turn it anticlockwise to release the bottom

cap.

3 Hold the handle upside down and push down on the shaft to release

the internal components of the handle.
