Why Your IQOS ILUMA Warranty Matters in the UAE

You are an IQOS ILUMA user—whether the ILUMA I standard, ILUMA I prime or ILUMA I one—your device is an investment. Like any electronic, it needs protection. That’s where your warranty comes in.

The IQOS warranty in UAE is your safety net. If a manufacturing fault occurs, you get a fast, free repair or replacement. In a country where quality and reliability matters, knowing the right process saves you time, hassle and money.

This guide has everything you need: from checking your coverage to contacting support and getting a smooth replacement for your ILUMA I series device.

What the IQOS Warranty Covers for ILUMA Devices

The warranty on your IQOS ILUMA device covers defects in materials and workmanship when used as described in the User Guide.

✅ Covered (Manufacturing Faults):

• Device Not Heating: The ILUMA holder doesn’t heat the TEREA stick.
• Charging Failures: Pocket Charger doesn’t charge the Holder or the device doesn’t hold a charge.
• LED Errors: Lights on the device or charger blink red or amber and troubleshooting can’t fix the issue.
• Functional Defects: Components are defective in material or workmanship (e.g. charging case lid breaks off due to factory defect).

❌ Not Covered (User-Induced Damage):

• Accidental Damage: Damage caused by drops, bumps or external force.
• Liquid Contact: Water or liquid damage of any kind.
• Misuse or Modification: Malfunction caused by using non-compatible products, DIY repairs or unauthorized modifications.
• Normal Wear and Tear: Scratches, dents or cosmetic damage that doesn’t affect functionality.
• Battery Degradation: Natural and expected battery performance degradation over time.

Warranty Duration for ILUMA Devices in UAE

Knowing your warranty window is critical. IQOS provides a generous base warranty and an excellent extended option for users in the UAE.

Standard & Extended Coverage

The warranty starts from the date of purchase. You must register your device within 30 days of purchase to unlock the additional 12 months of coverage and extend your warranty up to 2 years.

Note: The warranty applies to the Holder and the Pocket Charger. Electronic accessories, power adaptors and charging cables are generally excluded from the extended warranty terms.

How to Check if Your ILUMA Device Is Under Warranty

Don’t guess about your coverage—check it online instantly. IQOS has a simple way to verify the warranty status of your IQOS ILUMA device, like the ILUMA Standard or ILUMA prime.

Step-by-Step Verification

1. Find Your Serial Number: Locate the unique 14-digit serial number. It’s usually printed on the original retail box and sometimes etched inside the device holder or charging case.
2. Visit the Official IQOS UAE Website: Go to the support or warranty section.
3. Log in or Register: You must log in to your existing IQOS account or create one and register your device if you haven’t already done so.
4. Add/View Device Status: Enter the serial number in the designated field. The system will display whether your IQOS ILUMA device is registered, the registration date and the remaining warranty period.

Why Registering Your IQOS Is Important

Registering your device is not optional; it’s mandatory. It will automatically activate your 24-month warranty (if done within 30 days) and give you access to premium benefits like International Assistance when traveling and Accidental Damage Protection (one-time replacement for ILUMA I prime users).
