Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Oral-B Smart 6 6000N, proper setup, understanding compatibility, and routine care are essential.
Initial Setup
- Charge the Handle: Before first use, fully charge your toothbrush. Place the handle on the charging base and plug it into a power outlet. The battery indicator will show charging progress. A full charge can take up to 12 hours.
- Attach Brush Head: Firmly push a brush head onto the handle's shaft until it locks into place.
- Download the App: For smart features, download the Oral-B app from your device's app store (available for iOS and Android).
- Pair with App: Open the Oral-B app, enable Bluetooth on your smartphone, and follow the in-app instructions to pair your toothbrush. Ensure your toothbrush is powered on during this process.
Compatibility
- Brush Heads: The Oral-B Smart 6 6000N is compatible with all Oral-B round brush heads (e.g., CrossAction, Sensi Ultrathin, 3D White, FlossAction).
- App: The Oral-B app is compatible with most modern iOS and Android smartphones. Ensure your device meets the minimum operating system requirements as specified in the app store.
Product Care & Maintenance
- After Each Use: Rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water with the brush handle switched on to clean away any toothpaste residue. Then, remove the brush head and rinse both the handle and the brush head separately.
- Cleaning the Handle: Wipe the handle with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the handle in water, except for brief rinsing under a tap.
- Charging Base: Unplug the charging base periodically and wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
- Brush Head Replacement: Dentists recommend replacing your brush head every three months, or sooner if the bristles are splayed or worn. Indicator bristles (typically blue) will fade halfway, signalling it's time for a replacement.
- Battery Care: To maintain maximum battery capacity, periodically run the handle until completely discharged every 6 months. Then, recharge it fully.
