3. Safety information
Please read these operating instructions completely and carefully. Failure to observe the
information provided below can lead to personal injury or material damage. Keep these
instructions in a safe place where they can also be read by other persons using the device.
Always pass on these instructions together with the device if you sell it or pass it on.
WARNING Electric Shock
The charging station is live as long as it is connected to the mains supply. Elec-
trocution represents a life-threatening hazard! Therefore observe without fail:
• The charging station must be located at a safe distance from bathtubs, show-
ers, swimming pools, wash basins and water-filled vessels. According to VDE
standard 0100 [German Electrical Engineers Association], the safety distance
must be at least 60 cm. We recommend a distance of at least 1 m. If the
charging station should, nevertheless, fall into water, immediately disconnect
the mains plug and have the device inspected by a specialist before using
again. This also applies if the mains cord or the charging station are dam-
aged.
• Never touch the powered charging station with moist or wet hands. Never
touch the charging station while connected if the charging station itself is
moist or wet or if it is standing on a wet floor. Never submerge the device in
water and protect it against all forms of moisture.
• The mains voltage must correspond with the voltage specified on the type
plate of the device. The device must only be operated from a power outlet
with fault-current protection.
• Regularly check the charging station and mains cord, as well as the easy grip
electrical toothbrush, for damage. A damaged device must not be used.
Never open the device yourself. In this case, please contact our customer
service or an authorized dealer.
• The device and the lead must not come into contact with hot surfaces or
sharp objects.
• Never pull the plug out of the power outlet with the cord.
• Disconnect the mains plug if the device is not working properly, for cleaning
and if the charging station is not in use.
• Do not kink the mains cord or wind it around the charging station.
• Do not operate the device outdoors.
• Never attempt to repair the device yourself. Electrocution represents a life-
threatening hazard!
WARNING Health Hazards
• Slight bleeding of the gums may occur when used for the first time. Should
bleeding of the gums persist for longer than two weeks, consult your dentist.
• In the case of surgical procedures on the teeth or gums performed within
approx. 2 months, ask your dentist before using this toothbrush.
• Replace the brush head if the bristles are snapped off. Also replace the brush
head for hygienic reasons if you drop the device.
• Consult your doctor before using this device if you are fitted with a cardiac
pacemaker or other electrical implant.
