Whether you are making a quick workday breakfast or brunch for a crowd, this elegant stainless steel toaster simplifies the process. Long slots easily fit slices of round artisanal loaves or a total of four standard bread slices or bagel halves, and electronic lever-free action raises and lowers bread into the toasting slots with a single touch so you can easily remove your toast, even small pieces, without risking burns. Smart settings including 9 browning options, bagel, warm, and defrost functions let you customize the perfect slice for everyone and the digital countdown times shows exactly when your toast will be ready. The innovative "raise and check" function lets you check your toast without canceling or resetting the cycle to take the guesswork out of choosing a browning level and automatic cord retraction keeps your cord hidden away and protected when not in use. Best of all, Kenmore Elite products are backed by a 5 year limited warranty for your peace of mind.
