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”.

The Easiest Way to a Healthy Diet

The Tower Personal Blender not only extracts all

the goodness in fruit and veg, but also in seeds,

skins and stems. The powerful motor and stainless

steel blades burst open seeds and cracks through

stems. It breaks up the parts so ﬁne that you won’t

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

of nutrition possible from your ingredients. With

six different jar sizes, you can decide exactly how

much want and when, making this a quick and

efﬁcient personal blender for consumption on the

go.

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.

Many people consume smoothies on a regular

basis, and that’s because they have so many

beneﬁts. They’re quick and easy, and a delicious

way to enjoy foods with a high nutrient density.

The possibilities and combinations of ingredients

you can choose are endless, meaning that you can

experiment your way to better healthy. With the

Tower Personal Blender, being healthy has never

tasted so good.

RestTimes:

Do not operate the Personal Blender for more than 2 minutes at a time.

Allow the appliance to rest for a minimum of 60 seconds between blending cycles.

If you accidentally do run the stick blender for longer than any of the stated times, unplug it and leave it to fully cool to room temperature before re-using.

QuickClean:

Fill the jar half way full with warm water and

a drop of washing up liquid and t the blade

assembly on. Fit the jar and blade onto the motor body. Once in place, blend for 10 – 20 seconds.

Remove the jar and unscrew the blade assembly and then rinse them under running water.

MakingTheMostofYourPersonalblender:

• Adding porridge oats to your smoothie gives you an energy boost.

• The cheapest way to get in season, delicious fruit is by buying frozen fruit.

• Frozen fruit helps make your smoothie extra thick.

• To add a burst of avour, add the juice of half a lime.

• Adding kale to your smoothie helps boost your immune system. Whereas spinach, carrots and red pepper give you an extra health boost thanks to their antioxidant content.

• Adding nuts helps your smoothie become more of a breakfast, rather than just a drink.

• When using lime, roll it under your hand to break the cells. This gives you more juice from it.

• Spinach is avourless in a smoothie, yet very healthy, so don’t be afraid to throw a lot in.

• Coconut water is a popular liquid to use in smoothies.

• Dandelion greens and kale aid your bodies

detoxication process.

StandardSmoothieMethod:

Add all the ingredients to the jar, starting with the heavier items (ice, frozen fruit) as this will help everything blend). Add the liquid ingredients last.

1. Attach the blade assembly on to the jar. Plug in your Personal Blender and attach the jar and blade assembly to the main body of the blender.

2. Press the power button and blend until you have reached your desired consistency.

3. Remove the jar from the main body of the blender and take off the blade assembly.

4. Either screw on the jar lid or decant into a glass.
