As a general guide:
Desired Bagel Color
Light color bagel
Medium color bagel
Dark color bagel
When using the BAGEL function for the
first time, we recommend toasting on the
preset darkness setting '4' so you can adjust
the browning setting to your preference -
considering the type and freshness of
the bagel.
b) To change the number of bagel halves, press
the center of the TEMP/TIME (Darkness/
Slices) dial until the LCD screen displays a
flashing 'SLICES'.
Turn the dial to the left to reduce the number
of bagel halves, or to the right to increase
the number of bagel halves. The number of
bagel halves range from '1' to '4'.
NOTE
Your customized BAGEL darkness setting
and number of bagel halves will remain in the
memory of the oven until you change them or
unplug the oven from the power outlet. When
the oven is plugged back into the power outlet,
the BAGEL function will automatically return
to the preset darkness setting '4' and preset
number of bagel halves '2'.
7. Press the START/CANCEL button to
activate this setting. The button surround
will illuminate red, the oven alert will sound
and the LCD screen will illuminate orange.
8. The timer will be displayed and begin to
count down. The time can be adjusted
during the bagel cycle by turning the
TEMP/TIME dial.
Setting
1 or 2
3, 4 or 5
6 or 7
NOTE
During the BAGEL function, Element iQ
automatically adjust the power of the cooking
elements for optimum results. It is normal to
notice the bottom set of elements turn off while
the top set is heating at full power. This ensures
the inside of the bagel is crisp while the crust is
only lightly toasted.
Element iQ
will automatically adjust the
®
toasting time depending on the heat already
present inside the oven. For example, if
the oven is already warm after one cycle of
toasting, the toasting time for the second cycle
will be less.
9. At the end of the cooking cycle, the oven
alert will sound three times. The START/
CANCEL button surround will no longer
illuminate red and LCD screen will
illuminate blue.
IMPORTANT
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.
10. The BAGEL cycle can be stopped at any
time by pressing the START/CANCEL
button. This will cancel the cycle. The
button surround illumination will go out
and the LCD screen will illuminate blue.
