OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BAGEL FUNCTION BAGEL FUNCTION cont.
ELEMENTS
Top and bottom heating elements cycle on and off to regulate the correct
temperature.
RACK POSITION
Middle rack height position.
The BAGEL function crisps the insides of your cut bagel while only lightly toasting
the outside. This function is also ideal for toasting English muffins, crumpets or thick
sliced specialty breads which require one side to be toasted more than the other.
NOTE: If you like your bagel halves equally crisp on both the top and bottom, we
recommend using the TOAST function to toast your cut bagel.
1. Insert the oven rack into the
middle
rack height position. Position the rack
with the spokes facing upwards.
2. Slice each bagel into two equal halves.
3. If toasting 4-6 halves, evenly space
them with 2-3 halves at the front
of the wire rack and 2-3 halves at
the back of the rack.
N OTE: The inside (cut side) of the bagel
must always face upwards towards the top heating elements. This allows the cut side
to be crisp while the crust is only lightly toasted.

NOTE: The oven controls will automatically adjust the crisping time depending on
the heat already present in the oven.
NOTE: During the bagel crisping cycle, condensation may form on the oven door
and steam may be emitted. This is normal. Condensation and steam occur as a
result of the moisture content of the bagel. Freshly baked and frozen bagels
generally produce more condensation.
8. At the end of the bagel cycle, the oven alert will sound five times and the
Start/Stop button words will cease to be illuminated.
NOTE: You may stop the bagel crisping cycle at any time by pressing the
Start/Stop control button.
The outer surface of the oven, including the oven door, is hot during
and after operation. Always use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts when
inserting , removing or handling items from the oven.
