TSF03PKUK Four Slice Toaster in Pink

When choosing the best toaster for your family, start by considering whether your household consumes a lot of toast each morning. If you have a busy morning household and you all enjoy that delicious warm bite of jam or peanut butter to start your day, then you’re going to want a 4 slice toaster to maximise how much you can toast in the shortest period of time.

Next, consider if you’re limited for space. If you are, a 2 slot, 4 slice toaster (also known as a “longslot toaster”) could provide the best choice as these are a similar width to a standard 2 slice toaster; only longer. If space is less of an issue, our 4 slot, 4 slice toasters provide the perfect choice as each pair of toasting racks have their own heating controls, enabling you to control the browning levels for each pair independently. 

Smeg toasters also feature extra-wide bread slots, making them an ideal choice if you like chunky toast or even other items such as waffles, poptarts, or bagels.

A defrost feature makes mornings less stressful when you realise you are out of bread and need to grab some quickly from your freezer, and the reheat button comes in handy if your toast has cooled due to running around after the family.

Yes, it is recommended to run a new toaster empty once or twice at the highest setting to burn off any residues from the manufacturing process. This helps to ensure your first batch of toast is free from any unwanted odours or tastes. When doing so, pop open a window or turn on your kitchen extractor to ensure you have suitable ventilation.

Toasting bread in a Smeg toaster typically takes around 2-3 minutes, depending on your preferred level of browning and the type of bread used.

To defrost bread in a Smeg toaster, use the defrost function, which gently warms the bread before toasting it. This feature is designed to ensure even toasting without the bread becoming too dry resulting in a delicious crunch.

The numbers on a toaster correspond to browning level. Higher numbers indicate a longer toasting time, resulting in a browner, crispier toast.

Smeg toasters typically use about 950W to 2000W of power. On average, toasting bread for three minutes uses approximately 0.048 kWh (for a 950W toaster) to 0.1 kWh (for a 2000W toaster) of energy. This equates to about 0.58 to 1.2 pence per use, depending on local energy rates and required level of browning.

We recommend regularly emptying your crumb tray to keep your toaster clean and prevent the unpleasant smell of burnt crumbs from affecting your toast.
To clean a toaster, first unplug it and allow it to cool. Next, remove and empty the crumb tray, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth, and gently shake out any crumbs inside. For thorough cleaning, you can use a soft brush to reach inside the slots.

Smeg toasters come with a standard 2-year warranty, covering any manufacturing defects or issues under normal use.

There are several ways to dispose of your old toaster responsibly. You can either take it to a local recycling centre, or some local councils now collect them as part of your local waste collection service. Many retailers will also now accept (whether you purchased a replacement from them or not) old electrical appliances as part of the ElectricalRetailer Take-Back scheme.
