What are some settings to engrave on side of bottle for word and images?

Your going to have to test, but start with these:

I’m going to move this topic to Beyond the Manual. @tapoutms3, you can try the settings below for Engraving on glass: Power 100% Speed 850 LPI 340 You cannot cut all the way through glass with a laser though. Make sure you use a film of liquid dish soap, masking tape or a damp paper towel secured over the glass to keep it from cracking when you are engraving it.

Once I remove the crumb tray do I add cardboard or something else to the bottom so that the laser doesn’t reflect back?

No - the surface of the won’t hurt the - you will want to put cardboard or something to support your bottle so it doesn’t roll away.

@hughesrobinson3

Do I need to put tape or any other substance on the bottle where I want to engrave?

You want to use either masking or dish soap - this will help the glass not crack where you don’t want it to.
