this may result in burning .

heat on the top and half heat on the bottom to toast both sides of bagel halves;
both fresh and frozen bagels can be used .

Default: 350°F; 30 minutes
• Select Bake with Low fan speed (i .e ., no fan icon displaying on screen) for more
delicate items like custards and eggs, as well as most baked goods like cook-
ies, muffins, and cakes
• Select Bake with High fan speed, also known as Convection Bake (i .e ., fan icon
displaying on screen), for most baked goods that require even browning and
leavening, like heartier baked goods and breads

be reduced—start checking foods about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the
suggested cooking time
