Cancel – This light will illuminate when the toaster is on. To cancel or end a cycle, press the Cancel button. The cycle will stop and the light will go out.

Bagel – Use to toast only the cut side of a bagel, English muffin, or bun. Load the toaster with the cut side of the bagel facing in, as the outer heating elements are turned off during this cycle. To use: press the Bagel but- ton after the toast cycle has started.

Load the bagel in the toaster with the cut sides facing in.
