If you are experiencing an issue with your IQOS 3 MULTI, the first step is to check if it has been charged.

How to check if your IQOS 3 MULTI is charged:

Press the button on your IQOS 3 MULTI; the battery status lights (at the bottom of the device) should turn on. If they don’t, press and hold the button for 4 seconds until the small light turns on. The battery lights should stay on once you press the button again.

If you do not see any lights, charge your IQOS 3 MULTI by closing the lid and using the official IQOS AC Power Adaptor and cable for at least 20 minutes*. We recommend that you fully recharge your IQOS 3 MULTI. This can take up to 75 minutes. Once fully charged the battery status lights will turn OFF.

* Note that laptop USB ports may not have enough power to charge your IQOS 3 MULTI. We recommend using an electrical outlet instead.

Resetting Your IQOS 3 MULTI

If your IQOS 3 MULTI is charged, but still not working, the next step is to reset the IQOS 3 MULTI.

Press and hold the button on your IQOS for approximately 10 seconds. After the lights fade, continue holding the button for 2 more seconds. When you release the button you will see all the lights briefly blink white.

Is your IQOS 3 MULTI not starting?

If your IQOS 3 MULTI is not starting, sometimes residual tobacco can prevent it from starting. Simply remove the Cap and clean the flat surface next to the heating chamber as well as the inside of the Cap using IQOS Cleaning Sticks.

IQOS 3 MULTI Temperature Issues

Does your IQOS 3 MULTI have a blinking red light or a white light blinking twice?

This could be because your IQOS 3 MULTI is too cold or too hot. IQOS 3 MULTI operates in a temperature range between 0° and 50° C. If the ambient temperature is low, try warming the device in your hand for at least 1 minute. If it is too hot, take it with you to a colder place and it should be working again once it has cooled down.

Does your IQOS 3 MULTI have a broken heating blade or other physical damage?

Check to see if your IQOS 3 MULTI has a broken heating blade or any other physical damage. If it does, we are sorry that this happened to you. Please contact Customer Care and we will support you with this issue.

Sometimes the cleaning of your IQOS 3 MULTI can damage the blade inside your IQOS. Be careful not to exert force onto the blade when cleaning your IQOS 3 MULTI. Also ensure you never twist your heatstick while it's in the IQOS. This movement can damage the heating blade and disrupt your IQOS experience.
