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.

Easy Mixing

Mixing need not be tiring any longer thanks to the

powerful and manoeuvrable 300W Stainless Steel

Hand Mixer from Tower Featuring 6 dedicated

speeds and durable stainless steel beaters, this

appliance is as practical as it is versatile. A stainless

steel shaft/blade and interchangeable heads mean

it can take on anything, and dishwasher safe parts

help keep cleaning to a minimum.

3USINGYOURAPPLIANCE

1. Before assembling the mixer, ensure the
power cord is unplugged from the power
outlet and the speed selector is in the OFF
position.

2. Assemble beaters or dough hooks into
mixer.

3. Ensure that the unit is at the 0 setting, then
plug in the power source.

4. There are 6 settings. Turn the speed
selector to your desired setting and the
appliance will start working. If the Turbo
button is pushed the speed will increase by
20%.

Warning: Do not place any objects such as
cutlery into the bowl.

5. The max operation time per time shall not
exceed 5 minutes. When kneading yeast
dough, we suggest that the speed selector
should be at low speed rstly and then use
high speed to achieve the best results.

6. When mixing is completed, turn the speed
selector to 0 position then unplug the cord
from the power outlet.

7. If necessary you can scrape the excess
food particles from the beaters or dough
hooks with a rubber or wooden spatula.

FittingandRemovingtheBeaters:

• Make sure the hand mixer is unplugged and
the speed selector is set to 0.

• Insert the beaters one at a time. Put one
beater into a slot, pushing it rmly until it
locks into place.

Note: For beaters and dough hooks, the one
with the washer can be inserted into the larger
socket only. The one without can only be inserted
into the smaller socket.

• Insert the other beater into the other slot,
pushing rmly until it locks into place.

• The hand mixer is now ready for use.

• Make sure the hand mixer is unplugged and
the speed selector is set to 0 for removal.
To remove the beaters and dough hooks
from your hand mixer, hold the beaters/
dough hooks with one hand and press the
Ejector button rmly down with the other
hand and pull.

4 Blend butter and sugar, mix frostings

5 Whipping cream and mousse mixtures

6 Beating egg white and meringue

Tips:

• Allow refrigerated ingredients, such as
butter and eggs, to reach room temperature
before mixing in order for them to combine
more thoroughly.

• To avoid the possibility of shell in the
mixture, break eggs into a separate
container before adding to the mix.

• For best result use heavy cold cream,
straight from the refrigerator for making
whipped cream.

• Do not over-beat. Be careful that you only
mix/blend mixtures until recommended in
your recipe. Fold into dry ingredients only
until just combined.

• When whipping egg whites, plastic mixing
bowls are not recommended. For best
results, the mixing bowl and beaters must
be completely clean and free from any fat
or oil. Traces of fat or oil on the attachments
or bowl will prevent the egg whites from
increasing in volume during mixing.

• Changes in temperature and the texture
and temperature of the ingredient will affect
the required mixing time and end results.

• Always start mixing at lower speed.
Gradually increase to the recommended
speed as stated in the recipe.
