1. Introduction and Overview
The KitchenAid Pure Power Blender features a powerful 1700 peak watt motor, designed for durability and exceptional performance across a wide range of recipes and textures. Its robust 2-liter Tritan pitcher is BPA-free and suitable for blending hot ingredients safely, thanks to its heat release lid. The durable 360° asymmetrical stainless steel blades are engineered to pull ingredients, including ice, towards the center, ensuring thorough blending of even the toughest items. (Note: Peak power is a laboratory measurement of input power, not operational power at the blade; UL rating is 1200 watts).

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blender does not turn on. | Not plugged in; pitcher not properly seated; power outage. | Check power connection; ensure pitcher is locked in place; check circuit breaker. |
