Classic design and modern features combine to create this KitchenAid Artisan Toaster with 4 Slice capacity. It comes in a stunning Contour Silver finish that can be matched with other KitchenAid appliances for a sleek and seamless look. Bread is lifted and lowered into the toaster with elegant ease, thanks to the one touch motorised lift control. This even works during the toasting cycle so you can lift and look at your toast. It is easy to achieve your desired toast browning since there are 7 toast shade settings to choose from that are selected via a knob on the front. You can view your selection on the built in LCD screen along with the choice of toasting function. The illuminated screen will also display a countdown timer to inform you the time remaining until your toast is done. Extra wide toast slots measuring 3.8cm allow the toasting of thick crusty bread, sliced bagels, English muffins and fluffy crumpets. There are four buttons that represent different functions (Keep Warm, Crumpet and Defrost) across the front of the toaster. Each of these selections chooses the optimal toast shade setting apart from Keep Warm, which keeps your toasted item warm for up to one minute. A removable full width crumb tray makes this KitchenAid 4 slice toaster easy to clean as it is top rack dishwasher safe. It truly is a smart choice for any kitchen as it has an all metal construction and a stylish design.
