2. Ensure the TEREA stick was inserted correctly as per the user guide instructions.

3. Make sure there is not any part of the TEREA tobacco stick stuck inside the heating chamber. If you see something like this, visit this page to find out how to remove it.

IQOS ILUMA™ is used exclusively with TEREA™ tobacco sticks. Previous IQOS device versions with blade and HEETS tobacco sticks are not compatible with IQOS ILUMA™ and TEREA™. Improper use may damage the device. TEREA sticks contain a metal part. Keep out of reach of children to prevent disassembly or ingestion. See important information.
