Wake your morning up with the chic Kalorik transparent glass side toaster. This toaster lets you see those slices gradually turning just the shade of golden brown that meets your preference. Not only is this appliance easy to use with its cancel, bagel, reheat and defrost functions, but clean up is hassle free with its slide-out glass frame and a removable crumb tray. Other great highlights are the toaster?s extra-lift that lets you use smaller pieces of bread, and the auto-shut-off and auto-centering guide features. Be the first of your friends and family to own such a unique appliance and toast your bread in style. The item has a tendency to take a few minutes to heat up evenly throughout the tubes( for the quartz tubes to get hot and sustain temperatures uniformly). The technology is designed to heat one tube and then the other- one by one, the coils do not all get hot at once.
