The 4-Slicer Toaster from KitchenAid is an advanced toaster with an automatic sensor that both lowers and raises toasted bread and keeps it warm. With seven roasting settings, countdown timers and LEDs, you can easily select and monitor the roasting process. The toaster has two independent pairs of compartments with separate controls, making it possible to toast two or four slices of bread at the same time and adjust the settings for each compartment individually. The sandwich function with sandwich rack makes it possible to prepare delicious, drip-free toasted sandwiches. The defrost function gently defrosts and toasts frozen bread, while the bagel function toasts the inside and warms the outside of bagels and other breads. The robust metal construction with extra wide compartments makes the toaster stable and capable of handling all types of bread. A sandwich rack is included as a standard accessory.
