Frequently Asked Questions - MD900 ElectriQ

How do I turn on the MD900 dehumidifier?

Plug the unit into a mains socket and press the Power button. The indicator LED will illuminate green and dehumidification will start.

What does the flashing green light mean?

A flashing green light indicates that the water tank is full. Turn off the unit, empty the tank, and reinsert it securely before pressing the power button again.

How do I clean the water tank?

Every few weeks, partially fill the tank with clean water and a little mild detergent. Swish it around, then empty and rinse. Do not use a dishwasher.

Can I use the dehumidifier continuously?

Yes, the MD900 is designed for continuous operation, but it will automatically shut off when the tank is full. For prolonged use, ensure the unit is placed on a stable surface and the air intake is not blocked.

Is the MD900 safe to use in a bathroom?

The unit is intended for indoor use but should not be installed in rooms with humidity higher than 85% RH (like laundry or very wet bathrooms). Ensure it is placed away from water sources.

How does the Peltier technology work?

Unlike compressor dehumidifiers, the MD900 uses a thermo-electric Peltier module that cools a surface to condense moisture from the air. This makes it lighter, quieter, and more energy-efficient for small spaces.

What is the capacity of the MD900?

It extracts up to 250 ml per day at 30°C and 80% relative humidity. The removable water tank holds 900 ml.

How do I store the dehumidifier when not in use?

Empty the tank, clean the unit, and cover it. Store in a dry place. Always unplug the unit before storage.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, do not use an extension cord. If an outlet is not available, have a qualified electrician install one. Using an extension cord may cause a hazard.

What should I do if the unit stops working?

First check: Is the tank empty? Is the unit plugged in? Does the power adapter work? If the green light is flashing, empty the tank. If still not working, contact electriQ support at 0871 620 1057 or visit www.electriQ.co.uk/support.
