Mode setting:
For first use the toothbrush starts with the first mode illustrated
on the package of your purchased model. To switch to other
modes, successively press the mode button (8). You may
change the modes during the brushing event. The toothbrush
automatically starts in the mode selected last.
When operating the «Tongue Clean» mode, we recommend
using a «Gentle Care» brush head (g). You can brush your
tongue either with or without toothpaste. Brush the whole area
of your tongue systematically in gentle movements. The rec-
ommended brushing time is 30 seconds; the motor stops after
30 seconds.
Brush heads
Oral-B offers you a variety of different Oral-B iO brush heads
(f/g/h) that only fit your Oral-B iO toothbrush handle. These
unique brush heads are dentist-inspired to leave your mouth
feeling clean and refreshed.
When to exchange brush head
®
Some iO Oral-B brush heads feature INDICATOR bristles to
help you monitor brush head replacement need. With thorough
brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the bristle colour will fade
halfway approximately within 3 months, indicating the need to
exchange your brush head. If the bristles splay before the colour
recedes, you may exert too much pressure on teeth and gums.
In general, we recommend replacing the brush head every
3 months.
Brush Replacement Reminder
The toothbrush is equipped with a «Brush Replacement
Reminder» indicating the need to exchange the brush head
approximately after 3 months when used twice per day.
A yellow* light - accompanied by a vibration signal - will
illuminate in the mode button (10).
To reset the «Brush Replacement Reminder» hold the mode
button pressed for 2 seconds. A vibration and illumination sig-
nal confirms the reset. If no action is taken, an automatic reset
will happen after several days.
*may appear orange
Cleaning recommendations
After brushing, rinse your brush head under running water with
the handle switched on. Remove the brush head and clean the
handle and brush head separately. Make sure water runs inside
