Smoked Hickory

Smoked Hickory is the dark wood-tone finish from the luxe list. The panels read as brown-black timber rather than as painted metal.

Wood tone shows fingerprints less than a gloss black, and it marks more easily if you slide the machine on a grit of sugar. Lift it. The finish is a skin on the housing, not a cutting board, so it should not be used as a surface for a knife.

Kettles and toasters were the pieces most often grouped under a special finish. If you are matching a pair, check both model names. A later kettle in the same colour name can sit next to an older toaster and still be a slightly different brown.

What the machine does is unchanged by the panel. Boiling steps are on the kettle page. Slot length is on the toaster page. The other finishes are on the luxe collection.
