Broken heating blade

Most cases of a broken heating blade happen when cleaning your device or inserting the tobacco stick in the device.

Blinking red light

A blinking red light on your IQOS 3 MULTI may indicate there is an issue with the heating blade.

Please open your Holder’s cap and check the blade.

If the blade is broken, please contact one of our Customer Care experts to get the support you need.

Blinking white light

A blinking white light on IQOS 3 MULTI button means your device is operating outside of the appropriate temperature range (0° to 50° C).

If the ambient temperature is low, try warming the device in your hand for at least 1 minute.

Otherwise, we advise you to allow some time between each experience, in order for the device to cool down.

Battery doesn’t last 10 back to back sessions

Your device must be fully charge in order to be used for 10 back to back sessions.

Problem inserting tobacco stick

After using a tobacco stick, some tobacco residues can remain in the device. In order to remove that, follow these steps:

  • Detach the IQOS 3 MULTI cap from the device by lifting it up.
  • With an IQOS Cleaning Tool, clean the interior of the cap.
  • Now use an IQOS Cleaning Stick and sweep the interior of the cap to remove the last bits of tobacco.
  • We recommend doing the same process with the body of the device, before inserting the cap back.

Let's try the following steps:

  1. Reset your device: Press and hold the button for 8 seconds. All lights on the device will briefly blink white.
  2. Clean your device and cap with the IQOS cleaning tool and cleaning stick.
  3. Plug the device into a power outlet* for 20 minutes (the lid on top of the device must stay closed for charging). We recommend a full recharge, which requires at least 75 minutes.

If no lights turned ON, press and hold the button for 4 seconds and then release it.
