A full charge will take 16 hours and will provide

can be stored on the charging base to maintain it at full 
power. Overcharging is impossible.
Battery maintenance
To maintain the maximum capacity of  the rechargeable 
battery, the following procedure should be done every

Once discharged, recharge the handle on the charging

Removing plaque 
 
The plaque remover can be used with any leading brand 
of  toothpaste. However, we do not recommend 
toothpastes with whitening agents. 
To avoid splashing, guide the brushhead to your teeth 
before switching the handle on.
Guide the brushhead from tooth to tooth, following the 
curve of the gum and the shape of each tooth. Hold the 
brushhead in place for a few seconds before moving on 
to the next tooth.  Brush the gums as well as the teeth. 
Do not press too hard nor scrub – simply let the brush do 
all the work.
During the first few days of using the plaque remover, 
your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should 
stop after a few days. Should  it persist after 2 weeks, 
please consult your dentist or hygienist.
