Using the Interplak® Direct Plug-In Toothbrush:
The Fastest and Easiest Way to Brush
6 Simple Steps:
5
1. C
harge the lower battery unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The plug blades and face must be clean and dry before
plugging into AC outlet to reduce risk of burns, electrocution, fire or injury.
Allow base to charge for at least 24 hours before first use.
Note: If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, be sure the switch is always
on for a continuous charge. Plug the lower battery unit into a live outlet and
leave it charging for 24 hours. Use only a 120v, 60Hz outlet.
2. A
fter recharging:
Take lower battery unit out of outlet and line up prongs on
base to the opening in the handle and push together until
in place. The plug blades are polarized (one blade is wide)
and can go into the handle only one way. Push together
until there is no gap between handle and base.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The unit will not function with a
slight gap between the handle and the base. Make sure
that the base is fully pushed in.
3. Attach the brush head.
Attach and remove with just a simple twist.
4. Wet the bristles, apply a pea-size amount of toothpaste, and
put in mouth.
Clear gel or low abrasion formulations are strongly recommended to
enhance the life and performance of your brush head, but pastes may also
be used. To avoid splashing, switch the power on after placing the brush head
in your mouth.

Replace your brush head at least every 3 to 4 months.
Over time, the gears in the brush head become worn, reducing the power
and effectiveness of the unit. You may notice the unit slowing down, making
a clacking noise, or jamming.
5. T
urn on and go slowly.
Press the button to turn on the unit. Press it again to turn
it off. Most dentists recommend brushing for 2 minutes.
Place the bristles perpendicular to flat surface of tooth, and
slowly guide the brush from tooth to tooth, pausing as you
go so bristles can work into crevices. The Interplak® Direct
Plug-In Toothbrush will automatically provide the correct
cleaning action so there is no need to scrub back and forth.
Be sure to run brush along your gumline. Brush all surfaces,
including the outsides, insides, and chewing surfaces.
Pay particular attention to back molars.
6. IMPORTANT:
Rinse the brush head.
After each use, leave the unit running, and run warm water
through the cleaning ports on front and back for 15 seconds
to thoroughly rinse out toothpaste residue.
VERY IMPORTANT: If not cleaned properly, toothpaste
may harden inside the brush head and reduce its life.
Towel-dry power handle and brush head to keep clean
and free of build-up.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not take unit apart when rinsing.
Do not rinse plug blades or face. Plug blades and face
must be clean and dry before plugging into AC outlet.

Common Answers and Answers
My gums are tender and bleed a little. Is this normal?
During the first few days of using the Interplak® unit, your gums may bleed
slightly. This is common when you begin a new oral hygiene program. After
a few days, the bleeding will generally cease, and you will be on your way to
healthier gums. If your gums continue to bleed after two weeks, see
your dentist.
How often should I use my Interplak® Direct Plug-In Toothbrush?
Use the Interplak® Direct Plug-In Toothbrush to replace your manual brushing
routine, twice daily or as recommended by your dentist.
How do I clean the unit?
Unplug the base from the outlet, and clean with a cloth or tissue moistened
with warm water. Submerging the unit or using a dishwasher is not
recommended and may cause damage or injury.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The lower battery unit must be clean and dry before
plugging into AC outlet.
Should I run down the battery periodically?
The Interplak® unit has a nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery similar to those in many
cellular phones and electric razors. To maintain the full charging capacity and
extend the life of the battery, it must be periodically run down during normal use
until it starts to slow down, then recharged.
Why are there different colored brush heads?
The brush heads for your model are identical except for the color indicator ring.
This helps you keep track of which family member is using which brush head.
Whom do I call for questions?
You may contact one of our customer service representatives at 1-800-334-4031
between 8 AM and 5 PM Mountain Standard Time, Monday through Friday.

Troubleshooting
The instrument will not turn on.
•T
ake the brush head off the handle and then turn the unit on. If the shaft on the
handle is rotating rapidly, the unit is still operational, but you will need to replace
your brush head.
• If the shaft is not rotating, push the lower battery unit tightly together so there is
no gap. Then turn the unit on.
• If the shaft on the handle is not rotating rapidly, your battery may be discharged.
Check to see if the charger is plugged into a live outlet. If plug is controlled by
a wall switch, make sure it is switched on during charging. The LED light should
illuminate. Charge the unit for 24 hours and try again.
• If still unsuccessful, lower battery unit may need to be replaced.
The bristles stop rotating during use.
• You may be applying too much pressure against the teeth. Unlike a manual brush,
the Interplak® Direct Plug-In Toothbrush cleans effectively without strong pressure.
• Try cleaning the brush head thoroughly with warm water or mouthwash.
My brush head stopped working.
• If your brush head stopped working soon after you began using it, try using a
different toothpaste and rinse thoroughly after each use. Regular gel toothpastes
provide excellent cleaning and extend the life of brush heads.
The power handle is warm to the touch.
• This is normal, caused by the system used to charge the instrument’s batteries.
