KitchenAid®Toaster Warranty - USA Only
KITCHENAID DOES NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion may not
apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state.
How To Arrange For Service — USA Only
If you live in the United States, you
may use either the Hassle-Free
Replacement Warranty program (see
inside front cover) or our Standard
First Year Warranty program (see next
page). Residents of Puerto Rico must
use the Standard First Year Warranty
program.
You may also use the information
listed under Standard First Year
Warranty to arrange for service after
your warranty expires.
This warranty extends to the purchaser and any succeeding owner for toasters
operated in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia. [ For units
operated in Puerto Rico, the Standard First Year Warranty applies (see page 4).
The Standard First Year Warranty is a Limited Warranty because you must pay
to ship the toaster to an Authorized KitchenAid Service Center. ]

Standard First Year Warranty
(Required Warranty Service for Puerto Rico)
Please bring the toaster, or ship it
prepaid and insured, to the nearest
Authorized Service Center. Call toll-
free 1-800-541-6390 to learn the
location of a Service Center near you.
Your repaired toaster will be returned
to you prepaid and insured.
All local service should be handled by
an Authorized KitchenAid Service
Center. If you are unable to obtain
satisfactory service in this manner,
contact the Customer Satisfaction
Center, KitchenAid Portable
Appliances, P. O. Box 218, St. Joseph,
Michigan 49085-0218. Call toll-free:
1-800-541-6390.
How To Arrange For Service - Outside The USA

local KitchenAid dealer or the store
where you purchased the toaster for
information on how to obtain service
locally.
If You Need Service or Assistance

SHOWING THE DATE OF PURCHASE.
PROOF OF PURCHASE WILL ASSURE
YOU OF IN-WARRANTY SERVICE.
If your toaster should
malfunction or fail to operate,
please read the following:
• If the digital display is not visible on
models KTT460 or KTT570, turn the
Shade Control or press one of the
function buttons. The digital display
is designed to automatically turn off
to conserve energy.
• Check to see if the toaster is
plugged in; if it is, unplug the
toaster, then plug it back in again.
• Check the electrical circuit the
toaster is connected to. Is a fuse
blown, or a circuit-breaker tripped
in your home?
• Make certain the Easy Lift™ toaster
lever is fully raised before you place
bread into the slots.
• If the digital display on models
KTT460 or KTT570 blinks “0”, the
toaster is too hot and will not
operate. When the toaster cools to
a safe temperature, the display will
return to normal.
If the problem cannot be corrected
with the above steps, see the
“Warranty” on page 3. DO NOT
return the toaster to the retailer – they
do not provide service.

5
Electrical Requirements
Volts: 120 A.C. only.
Hertz: 60
Note: This toaster has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not modify
the plug in any way.
Do not use an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have
a qualified electrician or serviceman
install an outlet near the appliance.
WARNING

!
Fire Hazard
Do not use an
extension cord.
Doing so can result in
death or fire.

3. Insert bread or other food to be
toasted into slot.
4. Turn the Shade Control to select
the degree of darkness you want.
The digital display will show the
selected shade level. Turn the
Shade Control clockwise for darker
toast, counterclockwise for lighter.
Shade settings 1-3 are light, 4-6 are
medium, and 7-9 are dark.
Note: Different 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. For even toasting,
toast only one bread type and
thickness at a time.
Your KitchenAid®Toaster has been
designed to quickly and evenly toast
two slices of bread per slot. To toast
a single slice, place the bread in the
center of the slot and turn the Shade
Control to a lower setting to avoid
over-browning.
Before using your toaster, check the
Extra-Wide, Extra-Long Slots and
remove any packing or printed
material that may have fallen inside
during shipping or handling. Do not
probe inside the toaster with a metal
object.
You may see light smoke the first
time you use the toaster. This is
normal. The smoke is harmless and
will soon disappear.
TO USE:
1. Shorten cord, if necessary, by
wrapping cord under the base.
2. Plug toaster cord into electrical
outlet. Digital display will default
to a shade level of 5.
Sleep Mode: If the toaster isn’t
used for 30 seconds, it will cycle
into “sleep mode” and the digital
display will shut off to conserve
energy. Turning the Shade Control,
pressing a function button, or
lowering the Easy Lift™ lever will
instantly wake-up the toaster.
When the toaster is in “sleep
mode”, turning the Shade Control
a single “click” or detent will
wake-up the toaster, but not alter
the previously set shade level.

You can select – or cancel – any of
the special toasting functions by

either before or after you lower the
Easy Lift™ lever to begin toasting. The
function lights will indicate which
functions are selected. After a
toasting cycle is complete, all
functions will be cleared.
Baker’s Bagel™ Toasting
Selecting the Bagel Button will toast
the thickest bagels and English
muffins evenly, gently browning the
bottoms while toasting the sides that
are sliced. An exclusive KitchenAid™
process, Baker’s Bagel™ Toasting
produces perfect results by reducing
power to the heating elements on one
side of the toasting cavity by 50%.
1. If your toaster has 2 slots (Model
KTT570), insert the bagel so that
the flat (sliced) side of the bagel
faces the center of the toaster. If
your toaster has a single slot
(Model KTT460), insert the bagel
so that the flat (sliced) side of the
bagel faces toward the front of
the toaster, where the Shade
Control and digital display are
located.
2. Set the Shade Control to the level
you want. English muffins will
generally take more time to toast
than bagels.
3. Press the Bagel Button, then push
the Easy Lift™ lever down until it
locks. You can also press the Bagel
Button after pushing down the
Easy Lift™ lever.
