KitchenAid has extended their iconic Artisan range to include this resilient and stylish 4-slice toaster. Combining striking design and the best technology available, this toaster will revolutionise your morning routine. Its die cast metal construction makes a robust and stable appliance for the modern kitchen. Extra wide toasting slots allow you to toast any type of bread without the worry of burnt pieces, whilst the two pairs of slots work independently, for your personal preference of browning. A bagel function toasts the inside of bagels and buns, and warms the outside for perfect browning results. And a sandwich function with sandwich rack is also on hand for no drip toasted sandwiches. The toaster comes with a sandwich rack accessory, to prepare delicious, perfectly toasted non-drip sandwiches. With the help of a gentle defrost function you can easily defrost and toast frozen bread- the ultimate in convenience. 7 shade settings allow you to choose your desired browning level and a LED countdown timer keeps you updated on the progress at all times. An auto sensor will automatically lower and lift the toast, and a keep warm feature is handy for keeping warm those extra pieces of toast.
