The classically styled KitchenAid Artisan 2 Slice Toaster has distinct modern appeal. The gorgeous Empire Red colouring also makes it a stand out piece that matches with the other coordinating pieces from KitchenAid. It features one touch motorised lift control that lifts and lowers your bread with elegant ease, even during the toasting cycle. With this KitchenAid toaster, you can have your toast exactly the way you like it because there are seven shade settings to choose from. You simply turn the shade knob left or right to adjust the level of browning and use the built in blue LCD display to see your selection. The illuminated display of the KitchenAid Artisan 2 Slice Toaster shows you the toasting shade, function selected and also displays a progress bar which counts down until your toast is ready. Extra wide toasting slots measuring 3.8cm are big enough to accommodate your favourites like thick bread, English muffins, crumpets and bagels. Four buttons (Keep Warm, Crumpet, Defrost and Reheat) run vertically across the front of the toaster. All these options pre-select the desired toasting shade except for keep warm, which keeps your food warm for up to one minute after toasting. Keeping your KitchenAid toaster clean is easy, thanks to the full width removable crumb tray that can be placed on the top shelf of your dishwasher. With a full metal construction, the KitchenAid Artisan 2 Slice Toaster in Empire Red is a smart and stylish choice for your kitchen!
