Frequently Asked Questions - kMix BLX51 KENWOOD

How do I clean the Kenwood kMix BLX51 blender?

After use, rinse the jug with warm soapy water. The jug, lid, and blade assembly can be washed on the top rack of the dishwasher. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water.

Can I crush ice with this blender?

Yes, the kMix BLX51 is designed for crushing ice. Use the pulse function for best results. Always ensure the jug is not overloaded.

What is the maximum capacity for blending hot liquids?

When blending hot liquids, do not fill the jug beyond the 1 L mark to avoid pressure build-up. Always start at low speed and gradually increase.

Why does the blender stop working mid-use?

The blender may stop due to overheating protection. Let it cool for 15 minutes before resuming. Also check that the lid is properly locked.

Can I use the blender to make dough?

No, this blender is not suitable for dough mixing. Use only for blending liquids and soft ingredients.

How do I replace the blade assembly?

To replace the blade assembly, unscrew the sealing ring from the jug base. Remove the old blade assembly and insert a new one, then tighten the sealing ring. Ensure the seal is properly seated to avoid leaks.

Is the blender jar microwave-safe?

No, the glass jar is not microwave-safe. Do not place the jar in a microwave oven.

What should I do if the lid leaks while blending?

Check that the lid is securely locked and the seal is not worn. If the seal is damaged, replace it with a spare part. Avoid overfilling.

Can I blend frozen fruit without liquid?

It is recommended to add some liquid (milk, juice, or water) when blending frozen fruit to help the blades move. Pure frozen fruit may cause the blender to stall.

Where can I find spare parts for the kMix BLX51?

Spare parts are available from Kenwood authorized dealers or online. Refer to the spare parts list in the manual for part numbers.
