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.

3USINGYOURAPPLIANCE

Removingthepan:

1. Open the lid.

2. Lift the handle and hold it
with both hands.

3. Ease the pan out of the
bread maker smoothly.

4. Make sure the drive shaft in the bread pan
is clean and free from crumbs or pieces of
dough.

Paddle

Fit the paddle on to the drive shaft in the bread
pan before use.

FillingwithIngredients:

1. Ensure you
have all the
ingredients to
hand.

2. Carefully ll the
pan making sure
you don’t leave
any ingredients
out.

3. When lling, it is essential that the
ingredients are lled in the prescribed
order, otherwise the bread will not be
properly baked.

IMPORTANT: The capacity of the Bread­maker is sufcient to bake a 2lb loaf, or to
raise the equivalent amount of dough for
baking elsewhere. Do not exceed this amount
otherwise the mechanism may be damaged, or
the dough may rise through the lid.

4. The ingredients should be at a warm room
temperature (20º-25ºC). If the room is
cold (below 18ºC), use warm water (40ºC)
to make sure the yeast ferments fully. To
gauge the temperature if you do not have

a thermometer, heat some water and
slowly add this to a jug of cold water until
the resulting temperature is barely warm to
the touch.

5. Measure and add the water to the pan.
Next add the salt and the other dry
ingredients. Finally add the yeast.

6. It is essential to keep the yeast away
from the salt and the water before mixing
commences or the bread will not rise
properly.

7. Clean off any spills around the outside of
the bread pan and lower it into the bread­maker, reversing the process described
earlier. Push down at the sides and ensure
the pan is rmly slotted in place.

Controlsandprograms:

1. Ensure that you understand the functions
of your Bread-maker before use as an
incorrect selection will affect the quality of
the bread.

2. Plug the Bread-maker into the mains. The
Control Panel display will mlight up and the
unit is now operational.

3. When you power the Bread-maker, the
display sets to Basic and Medium Crust.
The default loaf size is 2lb and the display
indicates 3:25, which means that the
bread-maker will take 3 hours and 25
minutes to complete the program. This
setting is illustrated above

BasicSequenceofOperations:

A: Choose a Program with the MENU button.

B: Select the Loaf Size (as needed).

C: Select the Crust Colour (as needed).

D: Press the Start/Stop button to start the
machine.

Menuselection:

• Press the MENU button repeatedly to
select a Program.

• The tables at the end of this manual help
explain the processes of your bread­maker.

• Menus 1-3 offer you the choice of
Loaf Size and a choice of Standard or
Rapid programs. These are selected by
repeatedly pressing the COLOUR button.

• The Standard program: Press the Colour
button to choose Light, Medium or Dark
crust.

• The Rapid programme: Press the Colour
button to select ‘Rapid’. This programme
has the same steps as the standard
programme but many processes are
accelerated, producing a denser loaf in a
shorter time.

1: BASIC

For baking white and mixed grain bread.

Standard Program: Light, Medium, or Dark
crust.

1lb loaf 3h 13m

1.5lb loaf 3h 18m

2lb loaf 3h 25m

The Bread-maker kneads the dough three
times. After the second kneading the Bread

Maker beeps to indicate that additional
ingredients may now be added.

1a. RAPID BASIC

For baking white and mixed grain bread.

Rapid Program: No crust control

1lb loaf 2h 12m

1.5lb loaf 2h 17

2lb loaf 2h 24

The number of stages is the same as the
Standard program but the rise and nal
kneading times are reduced. This produces a
more dense bread.

2: FRENCH

For preparing French white bread.

Standard Program: Light, Medium, or Dark
crust.

1lb loaf 3h 30m

1.5lb loaf 3h 32m

2lb loaf 3h 35m.

The Bread-maker has longer rising and baking
times, so the bread gets a thicker crust.

2a. RAPID FRENCH

Rapid Program: No crust control.

1lb loaf 2h 30m

1.5lb loaf 2h 32m

2lb loaf 2h 35m

The rise and nal kneading times are much
reduced. This produces a more dense and less
crusty bread.

3: WHOLE WHEAT

For preparing wholemeal bread.

Standard Program: Light, Medium, or Dark
crust.

1lb loaf 3h 43m

1.5lb loaf 3h 45m

2lb loaf 3h 48m

The dough is preheated before the kneading
and rising process. After the second kneading
the Bread-maker beeps indicating additional
ingredients may be added. We recommend you
choose the ‘dark’ crust with this option to get a
crunchy crust.

3a. RAPID WHOLE WHEAT

Rapid Program: No crust control.

1lb loaf 2h 28m

1.5lb loaf 2h 30m

2lb loaf 2h 33m

The number of stages is the same as the
Standard program but the preheating, rising
and nal kneading times are reduced. This
produces a chewier bread.

4: SWEET

For preparation of sweet yeast breads.

1lb loaf 3h 17m

1.5lb loaf 3h 22m

2lb loaf 3h 27m

6: EXPRESS BAKE

The Bread Maker bakes the bread in 58
minutes.

1.5lb loaf 58m

2lb loaf 58m

The bread is denser in texture with this setting.
You should use water slightly hotter, around 48­50°C and use a cooking thermometer to gauge
water temperature.

7: QUICK

For recipes with baking powder.

2lb loaf 1h 43m

(2lb loaf setting only)

The Bread-maker stirs once and then bakes
the dough. Place liquids in the bottom of the
bread pan, dry ingredients on top. During the
initial mixing, dry ingredients may collect in the
corners of the pan- you may need to clear the
corners with a rubber spatula to avoid our
lumps.

8: EUROPEAN

For making traditional European breads.

2lb loaf 3h 55m

Traditional German, Scandinavian and Eastern
European ‘Sour-dough’ whole-wheat or whole­wheat/rye breads require longer proving and
baking times. Use this menu to make a dense
traditional “Hausbrot” loaf.

9: DOUGH

For preparation of different types of dough, for
shaping and baking.

Total Program Time: 1h 30m

The pan is not heated and the loaf size and
crust selector are inoperative.
