The KitchenAid Artisan toaster is a two-slot appliance designed for precise toasting control with seven browning levels. It features an automatic sensor that lowers bread, toasts to the selected color, and raises it when finished. It includes a bagel function that toasts the cut side while warming the outside, a frozen bread setting for gentle defrosting and toasting, and a sandwich rack for making grilled sandwiches without mess. The toaster has a keep-warm function that maintains toast temperature for up to three minutes after toasting. Constructed with a durable cast aluminum housing in empire red, it offers extra-wide slots suitable for thick slices, artisanal bread, and sandwiches. Measuring 22.6 cm in height, 18 cm in width, and 34.8 cm in depth, it weighs 5 kg and operates at 1250 W with a voltage range of 220-240 V and 50/60 Hz frequency. The cord length is 137.2 cm. This model provides independent slot control in four-slot versions and includes four toasting functions: bagel, frozen, sandwich, and toast/cancel. Its retro design complements various kitchen styles while delivering consistent performance for bagels, sourdough, or quick sandwiches.
