Does this toaster have ' auto-off' feature as does the four piece?

No, it does not......oops sorry, I see how the other reviewer answered. I was looking at feature buttons & the manual and did not see this mentioned....but they are correct once the toast pops up the heating elements do turn off.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but the toaster is only on when it is toasting...when the bread/item being toasted comes up, the toaster turns off.

If anything gets jammed, the toaster will automatically shut off. User is encouraged to unplug the unit and let it cool before trying to remove the jammed piece. I have only had a problem with jamming at the end of the toasting cycle when the toast was being automatically elevated, so the cycle was finished. I was trying to toast pieces from a French baguette, and they were just too small to be in the right position. I've never had the problem of jamming when toasting regular bread or English muffins. Otherwise, the toaster completely shuts down after a few minutes unless you use it again within 30 seconds or so. Hope this helps? If anything gets jammed, the toaster will automatically shut off.

Yes, as far as I know. After the toast cycle the lights around the control buttons go out .

No, it does not automatically turn off, but I has a audible alert that tells you when eggs are done.

I don't believe you can disable the auto-off feature. I rarely find that I am turning it on for additional time and most often I turn it off manually by pressing the button a second time.

No. It does not hav automatic switch off. It doesn't get over heated so fast, depends on load and time

Ronnie, I checked it this morning and NO there's not an auto off, just a manual on & off switch.

My Kindle does have an auto off feature that kicks on after a certain period of non-use.

Yes, it does have an auto shut-off feature. I'm not sure what the timings are but the feature is there.

no it does not. This appliance was very disappointing in all features, expected more from Kitchen Aid. My recommendation: buy a different toaster

The toaster operates by timer. When I put something in, it turns off when it times out. When I put an item that has to be rotated or flipped, the oven stays on when opened. I stay safe by pulling the tray out before turning the food. It can be easily changed by hitting the off button before opening, (it will still be very hot) however it would then have to be reset to finish cooking. As always any electrical cooking item is to used with caution, and not used by youngsters. This is not an item for young children.

Nope. But like every other modern toaster, it does have other issues. Biggest design flaw - to pop the toast early, you have to turn the "darkness" knob all the way to the left. If the toast isn't done yet, it's hard to return to your original setting as the knob has no markings! I've also tried several over the past few years, and nothing - - reviews notwithstanding - - seems to work very well these days.

The timer only goes to a maximum of 30 minutes. It does have a "Stay On" function on the dial if you want the toaster to simply stay on until you decide to turn it off. A bit of warning, though: my timer broke and I can only keep the dial set to "Stay On" now. Because of that I can only turn off the toaster oven by unplugging it. The dial won't stop once it's reached the "Off" position when the timer is being used. I don't mind because I find the ticking sound of the timer to be really annoying anyway. But if you were relying on a timer for helping you properly cook your meal, just a warning that my timer did break only about a month or so after I started using my oven. I hope this is useful for you.

No. The heating Elements inside the toaster will shut off but the Blue LED Window will remain lit for approximately 3 min after the toasting cycle is complete. The owners manual though recommends unplugging the toaster when not in use.

No it does not have an auto shut off or go to a warmer mode. It's 4 settings are just "off", "low", "high" and "warm".

Just got this toaster today and was just about to ask this. The manual says it has a button, but it must not have one because I looked all over the case.

Yes. I don't remember the setting in the menu right off, since I rarely turn it on.

It has a "ding" but it is not loud. The toaster shuts off at that point, and the toast stays warm until you lift the cage manually.

No it does not. And may I add you can buy this toaster with confidence. It is accurate and I love the beep when your food is ready. I hope you love it as much as I do. Here's a little tip no one asked me for....plug your appliances in a surge protector it protects your items from sudden surges and if you have a need to turn everything off, just flip the switch on the surge protector.
