Ultra Xtreme

Nutrient Extraction System

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 aord to pay”.

The Easiest Way to a Healthy Diet

The Tower Ultra Xtreme Nutrient Extraction System

not only extracts all the goodness in fruit and veg,

but also in seeds, skins and stems. The powerful

slow start motor and stainless steel diamond cut

blades burst open seeds and crack through stems.

It breaks up the parts so ne that you won’t even

know that they’re there, giving you every bit of

nutrition possible from your ingredients.

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.

The manual speed dial means you are always in

control, allowing you to make smoothies, juices,

soups and dips as smooth as you wish. The nonslip

rubber feet mean that even when the blender is on

power, it will stand rm.

The generous two litre container means you can

blend everything in one go, and the high strength jug

is heat-proof, shatter-proof and dishwasher safe.

3USINGYOURAPPLIANCE

1. Place the blender on a dry, level surface.

selector dial are in the o position.

3. Fill the jug with your ingredients and attach

the lid before tting the jug onto the base

of the blender.

5. Set the speed selector dial to your required speed.

6. Plug the blender into an electrical outlet and switch on.

Speedadjust:

The blender has an analogue speed dial, working from left to right. Due to the slow start motor, the blender will begin slowly and speed up to the selected speed

Pulse:

The pulse switch must be held down for use. When the pulse switch is released the blender will automatically stop pulsing. If you are blending on a low speed, pressing the pulse switch down will speed up the blender.

Blendinghotliquids:

When blending hot liquids do not ll the blender

jug beyond the 1 litre level.

Completely remove the centre portion of the two-piece container lid before starting the blender. This allows the rapidly heated air from the blender to vent whilst it’s running.

Hot liquids may push the lid o the jar during

blending.

To prevent this and any possible burns, place one hand on top of the lid to hold it down, with the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel.

Keep any exposed skin away from the lid.

Begin blending any hot liquids at the lowest speed.

Soups:

The speed that the blades travel warms the liquid allowing you to create tasty soups using your blender. Pause between pulsing and blending to see when your soup has reached your desired temperature and consistency.

Tips:

When you are using many ingredients, always

ensure the liquid ingredients go into the jug rst,

followed by the solids.

Make sure all ingredients are cut into even sized pieces for good consistency.

When blending liquids, do not ll the blender

past the 1 litre mark.

ResetButton:

There is a red reset button situated on the underside of the base. If the safety cut out is activated due to overloading or overheating press the reset button.
