KitchenAid®PRO LINE™ Series Toasters
are engineered to be a near perfect blend of
commercial durability, classic style, and
contemporary performance for the home. We
began the design process by looking at the essence of toasting in the commercial
kitchen – and quickly discovered that simplicity, dependability, and craftsmanship
were the things most valued by the professionals. At that point, our goal became
clear: we needed to build those essential qualities into a machine that offered a
level of performance that couldn’t be found anywhere else.
The result is the PRO LINE™ Series 2 and 4 slice toasters.
The stainless steel and die-cast metal construction will withstand the toughest
kitchen environment – and look terrific doing so. A tone sounds when your
toast is ready, but the toast will remain within the warm toasting cavity until
you’re ready to remove it. Nine shade levels provide toast for every taste, and a
heat sensor and microprocessor ensure beautifully consistent results slice after
slice. Dual controls on the 4-slice Toaster speeds preparation when toasting
different breads or making toast for particular tastes.
The KitchenAid®PRO LINE™ Series: commercial quality
for the discriminating home chef. From the company
distinguished by its legendary craftsmanship.

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 4KPTT890, 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" (2.5 cm) wide slots
handle bagels, English
muffins, thick breads,
and toaster pastries
easily. Extra-deep toasting cavity
enhances even browning.
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
Turn switch momentarily
to “On” to start toasting,
or to “Off” to stop a
toasting cycle.

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 4KPTT890:
The 4-slice 4KPTT890 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:
1. Shorten the cord, if necessary, by
wrapping it under the base.

2. Plug toaster cord into a grounded
3-prong electrical outlet. A tone will
sound when the toaster is
connected.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not remove ground prong.

NOTE: Toaster will automatically shut
off if the On/Off Switch is held in the
“On” position more than 15 seconds.
6. 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.

PRO LINE™SERIES
TOASTING TIPS
For best results, toast only one
bread type and thickness at a time
in a given pair of toasting slots.
1Different types of bread and their moisture levels may require
different shade settings. For example, dry bread will brown more
rapidly than moist bread and will require a lighter setting. Bagels
and English muffins usually require higher shade settings due to
their firm texture and high density.

toasting is complete. Remember:
the rack will be hot immediately

FEATURES AND OPERATION

Sandwich Toasting Tips
•Do not overfill the sandwich. Thinly
sliced ingredients – like 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 4KTBW2 – 2-slice
Model 4KTBW4 – 4-slice
Conveniently warm buns on the top of
your toaster with the bun warmer
accessory.
To use:
1. 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.
2. 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.
