1912 Midland Metal Spinners was founded by

George Cadman, who was then 65 years old, as

a metal holloware manufacturing company, in St.

Mark’s Street, Wolverhampton. They later moved

into the Tower and Fort Works in Pelham Street,

which ultimately gave rise to the famous Tower

brand name.

1937 Tower exhibited some of their latest holloware

designs at the British Industries Fair. As you can

see from the original poster, their stand No. A410

must have been a great sight as it promoted their

“Beautiful, inexpensive, untarnishable Plate, at

prices all can afford to pay”.

1961 Tower became one of the largest

manufacturers of aluminium holloware, electric

kettles, tea pots and other household articles with

over 1,000 employees.

1974 Russell Hobbs took ownership of the

expanding Tower brand.

2. Prior to initial use, clean your kettle by going through several boiling cycles, using clean

water with each cycle and lling the kettle

to its upper marking, The water will reach boiling point after approximately 5 minutes. The kettle switches off automatically.

3. Your appliance is now ready for normal use.

4. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner.

Using your appliance:

1. Fill the kettle using either the spout or lid.

2. The water level must be between the MAX

and MIN ll lines.

3. Check that the lid is closed correctly.

4. Ensure that the base unit and the base of your kettle are not wet.

5. Place the kettle onto the base unit and plug in.

6. Switch the kettle on by pushing the On/Off switch to the ‘I’ position.

7. Your kettle will begin to boil and will switch off automatically when it is done. The On/ Off switch will automatically move into the ‘0’ position when done.

9. If you need to boil the kettle again, wait for a few seconds - allow the On/Off switch time to reset.

10. When you lift the kettle up from the base, you may see drops of water on the base. This is just condensation from steam.

11. To avoid splashing or spilling, pour the kettle slowly and do not over-tilt it.

Tips:

Improve the quality of your drinks by always using fresh water.

Empty the kettle after each use.

Be economical and do not boil more water than you need.

Boil Dry Protection:

Your kettle will switch off automatically if you try to use it with too little water.

If this happens, ensure the On/Off switch is in the off position, remove it from the base unit and

allow it to cool down before re-lling.

Washable Filter:

Your kettle is tted with a lter. The lter helps to

prevent limescale from getting into your drink.

The lter should be cleaned regularly, in particular

if there are noticeable deposits left on it, or if pouring is affected in anyway. To clean the

lter, remove it from the kettle and rinse it under the tap. You can also drop the lter in when descaling your kettle. Rinse the lter thoroughly before tting it back into the kettle.
