Product Information
Full details
The KitchenAid Artisan 2-Slice Toaster is designed for home cooks who prioritize precision and ease of use in their morning routine. Its standout feature is the automatic lift-and-lower sensor, which simplifies the toasting process, though its premium die-cast construction makes it heavier and larger than standard entry-level models.

FAQs
Does the toaster fit thick bagels?
Yes, the extra-wide slots are specifically designed to accommodate thick bagels and artisanal breads.
Can I use the sandwich rack for all bread types?
The sandwich rack is optimized for standard toastie configurations, but it should not be used with wet ingredients that could drip inside the mechanism.
How long does the keep-warm function last?
The keep-warm function operates for up to 3 minutes after the toasting cycle completes.
How do I clean the exterior?
Wipe the die-cast housing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or metal scouring pads.
Is the toaster covered by a warranty?
Yes, this model comes with a 5-year guarantee provided by KitchenAid.
What should I do if a slice of bread gets stuck?
Unplug the toaster immediately and use a non-conductive wooden or plastic tool to gently remove the item. Never use metal utensils.
Troubleshooting
Bread does not lower automatically
Ensure the toaster is plugged into a functional outlet and the power cord is securely connected.
Toast is not browning evenly
Check that the slot is not overcrowded and ensure the crumb tray is pushed all the way in.
Toaster emits an odor during first use
This is normal for new appliances; run the toaster empty once or twice in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your toaster, place it on a stable, flat surface with at least 4 inches of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation. Before the first use, run the toaster on a medium setting without bread to burn off any manufacturing oils.
For cleaning, always unplug the unit and let it cool completely. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior die-cast housing; avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish. The removable crumb tray should be emptied weekly to prevent build-up. To clean the sandwich rack, wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly before storage.
