Product Information
Full details
This KitchenAid 2-slice toaster in silver is ideal for individuals or small households seeking consistent and versatile toasting. Its key benefit is the precise shade control with 7 settings and four specialized functions (Bagel, Defrost, Reheat, Little Longer), ensuring toast is made to your exact preference. A potential caveat is its fixed 2-slot design, which may not suit larger families needing to toast multiple items simultaneously. The toaster boasts a durable all-metal body and a manual high-lift lever for easy retrieval of smaller bread slices.

Troubleshooting
Toaster does not power on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
Uneven toasting
Ensure bread is centered in the slots. If issues persist, clean the crumb tray and check for any internal debris. Ensure the toaster is on a level surface.
Toast is too light or too dark
Adjust the shade control lever to a lower setting for lighter toast or a higher setting for darker toast. It may take a few uses to find your preferred setting.
Smell of burning during use
Unplug the toaster immediately and allow it to cool. Empty the crumb tray. Check for any foreign objects or food particles lodged in the slots. If the smell persists, discontinue use and contact support.
High-lift lever is stuck
