(Household) Sonic Vi\fration Tooth\frush
Model No.

EW -DL9\b
Before operating this unit, pl\,ease read these in\,structions 
completely and save them for future use.
In\br\fduc\bi\fn
►	F\fr y\fur pers\fnal den\bal care
Thank you for purchasing the \,Sonic Vi\fration Tooth\frush.
The Sonic Vi\fration Tooth\frush is a new kind of electric 
tooth\frush designed for those who wish \,to keep their teeth 
clean and healthy. This appliance wil\,l ena\fle you to maintain 
good dental hygiene, which is as important as other forms of 
personal hygiene.
►	 S\fnic Vibra\bi\fn T\f\f\bhbrush Techn\fl\fgy
The Sonic Vi\fration Tooth\frush incorporates the innovative 
“linear motor” technology that us\,es magnetic attraction and 
repulsion to provide outstanding p\,erformance. The \frush’s 
3\b,000 horizontal strokes per minute help remove plaque gently 
yet effectively.
►	 Bef\fre use
This high-speed, vi\frating, electric tooth\frush is different from 
conventional electric tooth\frushes.
Therefore:
•	 You only need to lig\,htly press the \fristles against your teeth for 
\frushing.
•	 When first using th\,is appliance, some may experience a 
tickling or tingling \,sensation caused \fy the high-speed 
vi\frations. The sensation shou\,ld su\fside after you use the 
tooth\frush several more times.
Cau\bi\fns regarding use
•	Be sure to switch off the appl\,iance and remove the plug from a 
household outlet \fe\,fore performing any maintenance. Failure to 
do so may result in electric shock.
•	 Cleaning and user \,maintenance should \,not \fe made \fy children.
•	 Keep the appliance \,away from children.
•	 Do not use the cha\,rger in the \fath. Doing so may result in 
electric shock.
•	 Do not touch or pu\,ll out the plug wi\,th wet hands. Doing so may 
result in electric shock.
•	 If the power cord of the cha\,rger is damaged, the\, entire charger 
should \fe discarded\,. The charger should\, \fe replaced.
•	 Do not wrap the power cord around the\, charger.
•	 Always ensure the appli\,ance is operated on an electric power 
source matched to i\,ts rated voltage. Failure to do so may result in 
fire or electric shock.
•	 Clean the plug per\,iodically so that d\,ust does not accumulate in it. 
Such dust \fuildup may trap moisture over time and reduce \,the 
effectiveness of the insul\,ation, thus resulti\,ng in overheating and 
fire.
•	 Do not modify, disassem\fle, or repair the app\,liance at any time 
except when disposi\,ng of it. Doing so may result in fire, electric 
shock, and/or \furns.
•	 Do not place any metal o\fjects, such as coins and\, clips, on the 
charger. Doing so may cause the o\fjects\, to heat up, resulting in 
\furns.

Brushing dura\bi\fn n\f\bi\nfica\bi\fn \bimer
The timer will sign\,al once at 30-second intervals to indicate th\,e 
\frushing time for each part of your mouth. It will signal tw\,ice at 
2-minute intervals to indicate th\,e recommended total \,\frushing 
time.
•	 It is important to \frush each area in t\,he same sequence an\,d 
with the same amount\, of time, every time you \frush, to 
uniformly \frush and clean your teeth.  
Use the 30 second \,\frushing duration notification \,timer wisely 
so there will \fe no\, missed spot in your mouth.
•	 Divide your teeth into 4 p\,arts (upper 
and lower, left and right), and \frush one 
part in order such as\, “(\b) front of the 
teeth”, “(2) \fiting plane o\,f the teeth”, 
and “(3) \fack of the teeth” spending 30 
seconds.  
Brush the other parts in the same 
manner, and \frush your whole mouth in \,
a\fout 2 minutes.

►	
S\br\fng pressure preven\bi\fn func\bi\fn
Pressing the \frush \fristles too hard ag\,ainst your teeth will 
activate this feature, causing the inten\,sity of the vi\fration to \fe 
weakened automatically a\,s a safeguard against excessive 
pressure.
►	 Precau\bi\fn
•	 When you first \fegin using\, the tooth\frush, you may 
experience slight \fleeding of the gums\, even though your gums 
may \fe healthy. This is \fecause your gums are receiv\,ing 
stimulation \fy the tooth\frush for the first time. The \fleeding 
should stop after \,one or two weeks of use. Bleeding that 
persists for more than two weeks may \fe indication of \,an 
a\fnormal condition of your gums, such as pyorrhea. In this 
case, stop using the to\,oth\frush and consult your dentist.
•	 Recommended am\fient t\,emperature for using is 5 - 35 °C 
(4\b - 95 °F).
•	 Do not allow hair products (e\,.g., gel or oil) or\, hand lotion to 
come in contact wit\,h the unit as they may damage its surface.
