Frequently Asked Questions - HM520 KENWOOD

How to use the HM520 hand blender?

To use the Kenwood HM520, plug in the appliance, immerse the foot in the food (do not immerse beyond the max level), select the desired speed (1 or 2) or use the turbo function for faster blending.

Can I blend hot liquids?

Yes, but avoid boiling liquids (max 70°C). Let them cool slightly before blending to avoid splashing and respect the maximum capacity of the measuring cup.

How to clean the blending foot?

Detach the foot from the motor unit, rinse it under warm water immediately after use. The foot is dishwasher safe (top rack). Never immerse the motor unit.

The blender no longer works, what should I do?

Check that the foot is properly locked (it should click). Make sure the outlet works. If the indicator does not light up, check the built-in thermal fuse (wait 15 min after overheating).

Can I blend nuts or ice cubes?

No, the HM520 is not suitable for very hard foods like whole nuts or ice cubes. Use a blender or food processor for that.

What is the capacity of the measuring cup?

The supplied measuring cup has a capacity of 500 ml (max 300 ml for hot liquids). Do not exceed the max mark to avoid overflowing.

How to change the blending foot?

Press the side buttons of the foot to unlock it, then remove it. To install a new foot, align the marks and push until it clicks.

The blender makes abnormal noise, what should I do?

Stop the appliance immediately. Check that the blades are not blocked. If the noise persists, contact Kenwood customer service.

Can I blend directly in a saucepan?

Yes, the stainless steel foot can withstand the heat of a saucepan with the heat off. Avoid touching the bottom to prevent scratching the saucepan.

Where to find spare parts?

Blending feet and other accessories are available on the official Kenwood website or from authorized dealers. Use reference HM520 to order.
