Frequently Asked Questions - DO429K DOMO

How to descale my DOMO DO429K coffee maker?

Mix one part white vinegar with two parts water in the reservoir. Run a cycle without coffee. Then rinse with two cycles of clean water. Repeat every 2 to 3 months.

Why won't my coffee maker turn on?

Check that the plug is connected and the switch is on. If the problem persists, the thermal fuse may have blown. Contact customer service.

What type of filter to use for the DO429K?

You can use the included permanent filter or a size No. 4 paper filter. The permanent filter is reusable and more eco-friendly.

Can I use ground coffee other than drip coffee?

It is recommended to use a medium grind for drip coffee. A too fine grind could clog the filter and slow down the flow.

How long does the coffee stay hot?

The heating plate keeps the coffee at a pleasant temperature for about 40 minutes, then the appliance shuts off automatically.

Is the glass carafe dishwasher safe?

Yes, the glass carafe can go in the dishwasher. However, the plastic lid should be washed by hand to avoid deformation.

My coffee is dripping too slowly, what to do?

This may be due to a clogged filter or limescale buildup. Clean the filter and descale. Also check that the grind is not too fine.

Can I brew a small amount of coffee?

Yes, you can brew less coffee, but be sure to use the corresponding amount of water. For one cup, use about 150 ml of water.

How to replace the permanent filter?

The permanent filter can be removed by lifting it up. Replace it with a filter of the same size. You can order it from the DOMO website or from authorized dealers.

What to do if the appliance leaks?

Check that the reservoir is properly locked and that the carafe gasket is in place. If the leak persists, the gasket may be worn; replace it.
