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.

A Healthy Alternative

Want to cook healthily using less oil? Tower’s handy

Air Fryer uses revolutionary air blast technology

requiring little or no oil to fry, roast, grill or bake.

The 3.2 litre capacity serves up healthy portions.

Air frying allows you to enjoy the taste of deep fried

food, but at only 10% fat, it really is the healthiest

alternative. All you need to do is lightly coat the

food in oil and the hot air will fry it for you. Air frying

uses hot circulating air to cook food that’s crispy

on the outside and moist inside at higher speeds.

3USINGYOURAPPLIANCE

Automaticswitchoff:

The Tower Air Fryer has a built in timer, which will automatically shut down the Air Fryer when timer reaches zero. You can manually switch off the Air Fryer by turning the temperature and timer knob anti-clockwise to zero.

RemovingtheFryingBasket:

The pan and frying basket can both be removed fully from the Air Fryer. Pull on the handle to slide the pan and frying basket out of the Air fryer. Push the handle release button cover forwards. There is a small button on the top of the handle. Push it down and lift upwards to remove the frying basket from the pan.

Usingtheappliance:

1. Place the Air Fryer on a stable, horizontal and even surface. Do not place the Air Fryer on non-heat resistant surfaces.

2. Put the basket in the pan. Do not ll the pan with oil or any other liquid.

3. Pre heat the Air Fryer for 3 minutes when it is cold. After warming up, carefully pull the pan out of the Air Fryer. The Air Fryer will stop heating after the pan is pulled out.

4. Place the ingredients in to the basket, then replace the basket back into the Air Fryer.

5. Select the correct timings and temperature for the ingredients. See the reference table to determine the correct temperature.

6. To start the Air Fryer, turn the timer knob to the correct timing.

Note: If the Air Fryer has not been pre-heated, add 3 minutes onto the required time setting.

7. The power light and heat indicator light will come on, and the timer will begin counting down the set cooking time.

8. During the cooking process the heat indicator light will cycle on and off as it maintains the set temperature.

9. Some ingredients may require shaking in the pan during cooking. Check the reference table for notes. To shake ingredients, pull the pan out of the Air Fryer using the handle and shake the pan before sliding it back into the Air Fryer. Caution: Do not press the button of the handle during shaking.

10. When cooking is nished, the timer bell will ring. Pull the pan out of the Air Fryer using the handle and place it on a heat-resistant surface.

11. If the food is ready, serve. To remove small ingredients (e.g. fries), press the basket release button and lift the basket out of the pan and pour. Lift large or fragile ingredients out of the pan using a pair of tongs.

12. If the food is not quite cooked enough, simply put the pan back into the Air Fryer and set the timer for a few extra minutes.

Settings:

The below reference table will help you to select the basic settings for preparing different types of food.

Keep in mind that these settings are indications, as ingredients differ in origin, size, shape and brand, we cannot guarantee the best settings for your ingredients.

Because the rapid air technology reheats the air inside the appliance instantly, pulling the pan out briey barely disturbs the process.

Small ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.

Shaking smaller ingredients halfway during the cooking time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.

Do not prepare particularly greasy foods such as sausage in the Air Fryer.

Any snacks that can be cooked in a conventional oven can also be cooked in the Air Fryer.

You can use your Tower Air Fryer to reheat food easily. Simply set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

For a great even brown crisp, toss fries multiple times during cooking.

8TROUBLESHOOTING&FAQ’S

Questions Answers

How long should I leave the AirWave Air Fryer to cool before storing it?

We recommend leaving the AirWave Air Fryer for 30-45 minutes to cool before storing.

My homemade fries are not crispy enough.

Ensure that the fries are completely dry before adding oil to them and putting them in the Air Fryer. Try cutting the potatoes into thinner, smaller fries and adding slightly more oil for a crispier result.

The basket will not t in place correctly.

You may have placed too many ingredients in the basket. Make sure you do not ll the basket beyond the maximum ll line.

How big is the Air Fryer basket?

The Air Fryer basket is 3.2L.

My food has not cooked uniformly.

The food may not be cut uniformly. Make sure everything is cut to the same shape and size for good, even cooking.

How much cooking oil do I need to use?

Frozen part fried foods require no added oils. You only need to add ½ - 1 tbsp. of oil for other foods.

What is the capacity of the basket?

The AirWave Air Fryer has a large 1 kilogram basket. This is big enough to cook a family sized portion of chips.

White smoke is coming out of the Air Fryer.

This is normal if you are preparing greasy ingredients, because a large amount of oil leaks into the pan. This does not affect the appliance or the end result.
