However, this is no substitute for manual cleaning: For optimum performance and consistent flavor, you should clean your device regularly. This is the exact procedure for cleaning your IQOS 3:
Cool holder sufficiently:
Allow your IQOS 3 holder to cool sufficiently before you start cleaning (at least 30 seconds after the last use).
Tap the holder:
Remove the cap and tap the holder gently on a smooth surface to loosen tobacco residue.
Use the cleaning tool:
Now remove the cap from the cleaning tool. Insert the cleaning tool straight into the holder until it reaches the bottom and then turn it gently.
Use a cleaning-stick:
For more thorough cleaning of your IQOS 3 holder, use IQOS cleaning-sticks regularly, after around 20 tobacco sticks (please use carefully!) Be sure to not exert too much pressure and to not touch the heating blade.
Clean cap:
Finally, you should also clean the inside of the cap of the IQOS 3.
