Specification

We now take a look at the features:

• Variable Slot Widths - The slot widths are adjustable to fit larger (and smaller) items. Bagels, crumpets, artisan thick cut slices of bread, etc.
• Independent Sides - There are separate controls for each pair of slots. This is perfect for family members with different preferences, and makes large family breakfasts easier to handle.
• High Lift - The toasting levers lift the contents of the toaster up high, allowing for the removal of smaller items such as crumpets, without the risk of burning your fingers.
• Lift & Look - A neat function. It allows you to lift the toaster up so you can have a quick look without stopping the toasting cycle.
• Defrost / Reheat / Cancel - "Defrost" toasts items evenly straight from the freezer. Perfect for those rushed mornings. "Reheat" quickly heats up toast which has cooled down. "Cancel" stops the toasting cycle altogether. Each of these buttons illuminates.
• Removable Crumb Tray - There's a removable crumb tray underneath of the toaster. It slides out for emptying.
• Cord Storage - The toaster has integrated cord storage. This means that extra electrical wire need not be stored on your worktop, and can instead be neatly tucked away.
