How to use my IQOS device? - Tutorials and instructions for the use, charging and cleaning

There is a first time for everything, including for IQOS. This is why we want your first experience with IQOS to be as easy as possible and the device to function perfectly throughout its useful life.
IQOS is an electronic device. This means that if not used correctly, over time, with frequent use, its capacity and performance may be affected. Below are some basic instructions on how to maintain your IQOS device and some useful advice on proper use, such as, for example: how to charge your device, how long the battery takes to charge, when it is fully charged and how long it lasts, as well as advice on cleaning and maintenance.
How to use your IQOS
  1. Insert a unit of tobacco for heating (for IQOS 3 MULTI, you will need to first need to slide the cap).
  2. Press it gently up to the filter line, without twisting it.
  3. Press and hold the button until the device vibrates and the light stays fixed on, white.
Handling and use of an IQOS device, as you have seen, is simple and user-friendly, but its care and maintenance is very important for it to function correctly. This is why below we provide you with some basic rules on the correct use of IQOS:
  • Regular use of the device will keep it in tip-top condition.
  • Exposure to the sun, cold or very damp areas may impact the optimal performance of IQOS; we therefore recommend taking precautions when using the device if in places of extreme heat or cold and/or damp.
  • Take care when inserting the units of tobacco for heating into IQOS; do so gently, without twisting the tobacco unit at any point, as this movement may damage the heating plate inside the device.
  • Lastly, charging and cleaning are two essential aspects of caring for your device. Below are details of how these operations can be done.
Apart from these general recommendations on making correct use of IQOS, you can also consult the IQOS manual, which gives details on the steps necessary to start using and operating your IQOS device.

How to charge your IQOS the first time
Follow the same steps explained in the above paragraph on “How to charge your IQOS”, depending on the device you have: IQOS 3 DUO, IQOS 3 MULTI or IQOS 2.4 PLUS.
Additionally, to look after the battery and charge your device correctly, take the following aspects of general use into account:
  • Do not let your IQOS battery run down completely; try to charge it before it is completely flat. You can check the battery level by pressing the charger button for IQOS 3 DUO and IQOS 2.4 PLUS or the device itself for IQOS 3 MULTI.
  • Do not forget to disconnect your IQOS when the battery has charged; leaving the device to charge for longer than necessary, may damage its useful life.
  • Charge your device at the same time as your telephone, so as not to forget it and always have your IQOS to hand when you need it.
  • The quickest way to charge your IQOS is to use the current adapter, as charging through the computer USB port is slower than normal.
How long does IQOS take to charge?
Charging time depends on the model:
  • IQOS 3 DUO: this device is composed of two elements, the device itself and the pocket charger. Every 20 uses, the charger will need to charge for 120 minutes. For the device, the first charge is 1 minute and 50 seconds, 3 minutes and 25 seconds for the second charge, and 5 minutes and 15 seconds for two consecutive charges.
  • IQOS 3 MULTI: this model has been designed for smokers who do not wish to wait; it can therefore be used 10 times consecutively, with no need to charge the device between each use. Once it has been used 10 times, battery charging time is 75 minutes.
  • IQOS 2.4 Plus: this model comprises charger and device. Charging time is: for the device, an average of 4 minutes and 10 seconds; for the charger, 120 minutes every 20 uses.
How can I see if IQOS is fully charged?
When charging, the lights of the IQOS 3 DUO, IQOS 2.4 PLUS or IQOS 3 MULTI, flash. When they have stopped flashing, the device is fully charged.
IQOS is extremely user friendly: you will have no difficulty in understanding when your IQOS is fully charged.
How long does the IQOS battery last?
Not all IQOS users want the same thing and this is why, here at Philip Morris International, we have chosen to offer different models of IQOS to suit the needs of each.
