Model KPTT780

2-slice Toaster

Stainless Steel and Die-Cast

Metal Construction

Designed to withstand the commercial environment, the rugged metal construction will last for years.

Outstanding Performance

Heavy gauge heating elements held flat on extra-thick mica boards ensure even browning. A heat sensor and microprocessor yield consistent toasting slice after slice, without pre-heating.

Flexible Operation

On the 4-slice KPTT890, each pair of slots features its own shade dial, lift lever, and on/off switch. Speeds preparation when making toast for different tastes.

Wide, Deep Slots

1" wide slots handle toaster pastries easily.

Extra-deep toasting cavity enhances even browning.

bagels, English muffins, thick breads, and

Stay Warm

Feature

After toasting is complete, bread remains in the warm toasting cavity until it is raised manually. Raising the lift lever doesn't cancel a toasting cycle, so the toasting progress can be checked anytime. Lift levers are motion-damped for smooth operation.

True Vertical Lift

Lift lever raises bread vertically, not in an arc - so specialty breads are less likely to tear or jam in slots.

Shade Dial

9 shade levels provide consistent browning for every taste.

On/Off Switch

Before First Use:

Before using your toaster, check the slots and remove any packing or printed material that may have fallen inside during shipping or handling.

The toaster may emit a pungent odor or light smoke the first time you use it. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process. The odor or smoke is harmless and will dissipate quickly.

Dual Controls of the KPTT890:

The 4-slice KPTT890 toaster has separate controls for each pair of toasting slots, so you can prepare toast for different tastes - or toast different breads - simultaneously. Follow the same operating steps regardless of which slot pair you are using.

Toaster Operation:

Shorten the cord, if necessary, by wrapping it under the base.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

2 Plug toaster cord into a grounded

3 prong electrical outlet. A tone will sound when the toaster is connected.

Insert bread or other food to be toasted into the slots. If you have only 1 or 2 slices to toast, it makes no difference which pair of slots, or individual slot, you use.

Turn the Shade Dial to select the degree of darkness you want.

Rotate the Shade Dial clockwise for darker toast, counter-clockwise for lighter. Shade settings 1-3 are light,

4-6 are medium, and 7-9 are dark.

Push the lift lever down until the bread is lowered as far as possible, then turn the On/Off Switch momentarily to the "On" position.

The switch will spring back to the middle position and the function light will glow, indicating the toasting cycle has started.

NOTE: Toaster will automatically shut off if the On/Off Switch is held in the

"On" position more than 15 seconds.

When the toasting cycle is complete, a tone will sound and the function light will stop glowing. The toast will remain in the warm toasting cavity until the lift lever is raised.

To Check Toasting Progress:

To check the progress of your toast during a toasting cycle, raise the manual lift lever. Raising the lift lever will not cancel the toasting cycle, enabling you to simply lower the bread if additional browning is required. If you remove the bread before a toasting cycle is complete, don't forget to cancel the cycle by turning the

On/Off Switch momentarily to the

"Off" position. If you forget to cancel the cycle, the toaster will automatically shut off at the end of the cycle time.

NOTE: Operating the toaster without bread will not harm the toaster.

To Cancel Toasting Cycle:

To cancel the toasting cycle at anytime, turn the On/Off Switch momentarily to the "Off" position.

The function light will stop glowing and the toasting cycle will end.

English muffins usually require higher shade settings due to their firm texture and high density.

For best results, toast only one bread type and thickness at a time in a given pair of toasting slots.

Sandwich

Model KTSR

Rack

The sandwich rack is the perfect way to toast sandwiches quickly and easily.

To use:

Open the rack by spreading the handles apart.

7 Place one edge of the sandwich against the bottom channel of the rack.

Press the sandwich rack handles together to grip the sandwich.

¢,)

Lower the toaster lift lever as far as possible and insert the sandwich rack into the slot.

Select a shade level and turn the

On/Off Switch momentarily to the

"On" position to begin toasting.

Remove sandwich rack when toasting is complete. Remember: the rack will be hot immediately following a toasting cycle.

Remove the sandwich from the rack. You may want to use a spatula or tongs when doing so.

Sandwich

Toasting Tips

Do not overfill the sandwich. Thinly sliced ingredientslike ham, turkey, and cheese - work best.

Lightly butter the outside of the sandwich bread - do not butter the side which faces the filling. Buttering the outside of the bread slows browning and helps warm the filling.

Bun Warmer

Model KTBW2 - 2-slice

Model KTBW4 - 4-slice

Conveniently warm buns on the top of your toaster with the bun warmer accessory.

To use:

Lower the toaster lift lever or levers as far as possible. Place bun warmer on top of the toaster, making sure the formed wire loops on the bottom of the warmer fit into the toaster slots.

Place buns on top of the warmer, select a shade level, and turn the

On/Off Switch momentarily to the

"On" position to begin warming.

Remember: the bun warmer will be hot immediately following a toasting cycle.

The toaster may emit a pungent odor or light smoke the first time you use it.

This is a normal result of the manufacturing process. The odor or smoke is harmless and will dissipate quickly.

If the function light remains dark and the toaster fails to heat when the On/Off Switch is turned to "On":

Check to see if the toaster is plugged in; if it is, unplug the toaster, then plug it back in again. A tone will sound when the toaster is plugged into a live electrical outlet. If no tone sounds, check the electrical circuit the toaster is connected to - is a fuse blown or a circuit-breaker tripped in your home?

If the problem cannot be corrected, see the KitchenAid Warranty and Service section on page 25 for service information.*

If you have difficulty removing the crumb tray:

Lifting the crumb tray handle locks the crumb tray inside the toaster, preventing removal. Always pull the crumb tray straight from the toaster without lifting the handle.

If the function light next to the On/Off Switch flashes:

A flashing function light signals a fault in the toaster electronics. Unplug the toaster and refer to the KitchenAid Warranty and Servicesection on page 25 for service information.*

* Do not return the Toaster to the retailer - they do not provide service.
