Elite Gourmet ECT-3100 4-Slice Long Slot Toaster, Stainless Steel| Extra-Wide Slots Fit Bagels, Sourdough & Texas Toast, 6 Browning Settings, Reheat, Defrost & Cancel, Built-In Warming Rack
6 TOASTING SETTINGS — FROM BARELY WARM TO PERFECTLY DARK: A full dial from Level 1 (light, barely warm) to Level 6 (deep, dark, crispy) gives you true control over your toast New toaster tip: run one empty cycle at your preferred setting before first use — this clears manufacturing residue and ensures the most even browning from day one
REHEAT, DEFROST & CANCEL — THREE FUNCTIONS MOST TOASTERS SKIP: Reheat warms previously toasted bread at low heat without re-tasting or burning it Defrosting goes straight from the freezer to the table in one cycle (great for frozen waffles, bagels, and French toast) One-touch cancel stops and ejects immediately, anytime
BUILT-IN WARMING RACK WARMS PASTRIES WHILE YOU TOAST: Push down the warming rack lever and the rack pops up, ready to warm croissants, buns, rolls, and pitas on top while bread toasts below Everything arrives at the table warm at the same time — a feature most toasters at this price simply don't include
CORD STORAGE, SLIDE-OUT CRUMB TRAYS & HIGH-LIFT LEVER: The 36" cord wraps neatly into built-in base storage, keeping your counter clean The slide-out crumb tray clicks out, is emptied in seconds, and clicks back in The high-lift pop-up lever safely raises even small slices above the slot edge for easy retrieval ETL certified 1-Year Warranty backed by Elite Gourmet's US-based support team
Toast MoreStress Less
Most toasters were designed for standard sandwich breadThe Elite Gourmet 4-slice long slot toaster was designed for the way people actually eat — thick sourdough, everything bagels, Texas toast, frozen waffles, artisan rolls, and moreTwo long slots (10" × 1.5") fit four full slices simultaneously without squishing, balancing, or jamming
For best results:This toaster uses all four heating elements simultaneously across both slots, which is what gives it such even, efficient heatLoad one slice into each slot with the slices directly opposite each other for the most balanced browningWhen toasting fewer slices, lower your browning setting by 1–2 levels — the toaster will still activate all elements, so it heats up faster with less bread
Before your very first use:Run one empty toast cycle at your preferred browning settingYou may notice a faint odor — this is normal manufacturing residue burning off safely, and it will not returnAfter this one step, you're set for consistent, even results every time
Six browning settingsgo from Level 1 (barely warm, soft) to Level 6 (deep golden dark)Thicker breads like bagels naturally require a higher setting or a second cycle — their moisture content demands more time, which is completely normal
The built-in warming rackis the feature that customers rave about the mostPush down the lever, place croissants or buns on top, and everything comes out warm at the same moment your toast pops up(Note: use the rack only for dry items — not buttered, iced, or filled buns.)
Cleanup takes about 30 secondsTwo slide-out crumb trays pull out, empty into the trash, and click back inThe brushed stainless steel exterior can be wiped clean with a damp clothThe 36" cord stores in a built-in compartment under the base
