IQOS heating blade: proper attention to using and looking after

One of the components of the IQOS device is a ceramic covered heating blade that is made of a gold and platinum alloy which means that it is fragile and if improperly used it can be damaged or even broken.

Why is the heating blade so important?

The blade maintains temperature and prevents burning temperature from being reached. This patented temperature control technology not only ensures a constant heating temperature, but also protects the entire system from overheating.

How to use IQOS to keep the heating blade intact?

A proper IQOS usage and maintenance is the key to making sure that one of the most important IQOS parts doesn’t get damaged. So, make sure that usage steps are done properly:

• use tobacco products which are meant to be used with IQOS;
• insert and remove the tobacco product without excessive force, twisting or turning;
• remove the used tobacco product gently – after lifting the holder’s cap;
• protect the shock-sensitive system from falling on the ground and other hard surfaces;
• regularly clean the holder to prevent tobacco residue on the heating blade from accumulating.

How to protect the heating blade while cleaning the holder?

The cleaning should be done regularly using special tools – everyday using IQOS Cleaning Brush and once per week using Cleaning Sticks. Do not use any other liquids or unsuitable cleaning agents.

1. Wait until IQOS holder has completely cooled down (approximately 30 s after the last use).
2. Remove the holder’s cap and gently tap holder to remove tobacco residue inside it.
3. Insert IQOS Cleaning Brush into the holder without twisting it.
4. Make sure it is fully inserted. Only then twist the brush gently 2-3 times.
