brushers.

switches off the Sonicare when the brushing cycle is complete.

increases to 2 minutes over time. This slow increase in brushing time
helps young children reach the dentist recommended 2 minutes of
brushing.

overall clean, see section ‘Brushing instructions’ in chapter ‘Using the
Sonicare For Kids’.
