Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup, understanding compatibility, and consistent care are essential for maximizing the life and performance of your Oral-B iO3 Electric Toothbrush.
Initial Setup
- Charge Your Toothbrush: Upon first use, place the toothbrush handle onto the charging base. Ensure the base is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Allow the toothbrush to fully charge, which may take several hours. The long-lasting Lithium-ion battery will provide extended use once fully charged.
- Attach Brush Head: Securely push an Oral-B iO Series brush head onto the metal shaft of the toothbrush handle until it clicks into place.
Compatibility
The Oral-B iO3 Electric Toothbrush is only compatible with Oral-B iO Series brush heads. Other Oral-B brush head types are not designed to fit or function correctly with iO series handles.
Care & Maintenance
- Rinse After Each Use: After every brushing session, remove the brush head and rinse both the brush head and the handle top under running water. This prevents toothpaste residue buildup.
- Clean the Handle: Wipe the toothbrush handle with a damp cloth as needed. Do not submerge the handle in water.
- Store Properly: Store your toothbrush in an upright position to allow it to air dry.
- Replace Brush Head Regularly: For the best and most hygienic cleaning performance, replace your Oral-B iO brush head every 3 months. Worn or splayed bristles are less effective at removing plaque.
