IQOS Holder vibration:
• Vibration begins and a light pulses when you press and hold the Heating Button. This indicates the beginning of the experience (that you can enjoy a tobacco stick for about 6 minutes or 14 puffs whichever comes first).
• Vibration and blinking begin when there are 30 seconds or 2 puffs left. This indicates that the IQOS Holder will switch off automatically.
Auto cleaning: • Auto cleaning is automatically triggered every 20 charges, after the IQOS Holder has finished its charging process.
• During auto cleaning, the user will observe a longer charging process of the Holder (recharge – cleaning – recharge) and constant pulsing white lights.

Any white light indicates that the device performs various operations, like charging, re-initialization, ready to use, fully charged etc. A red blinking light can occur on:
• Only Bottom Charger Light indicator: the device is outside operating temperature (0 - 50°C). -> Wait until device is within temperature limits.
• Holder status light: Holder malfunction -> Please, perform a reset of the IQOS device.
Still no luck? Please contact Customer Careor ask for assistance at the nearest IQOS store.

IQOS 3 is designed to work in a wide range of temperatures, but tobacco stick tastes best when the device is used between 10℃ and 50℃.

The smart blade self-cleaning process is automatically activated after every 20 sessions, when the Holder is charging. This process reduces tobacco residuals on the heating blade, to make the manual cleaning process easier while ensuring the best tobacco taste experience.
The smart blade self-cleaning process can also be activated through the IQOS Connect app on demand.
