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.

The Tower Vertical Rotisserie Grill is great for those
looking to put an alternative twist on the traditional
Sunday roast, ideal for chicken and also perfect

vertical rotisserie grill has even heat distribution
to ensure your culinary creations are cooked to
perfection. The direct heat from the rotisserie grill
stops your food from drying out. With the vertical
rotisserie, when you’re cooking meat it’s basted in
its own delicious juices. There’s no thermostatic
control for you to worry about, simply set the timer
and the grill will optimise the temperature to cook

3USINGYOURAPPLIANCE
Beforerstuse:
1. Read all instructions in this manual carefully. The information included in this Manual will guide you through the versatility of your grill.
2. Place your grill on a level surface such as a counter top or table. Be sure the sides, back and top of the grill are at least four inches away from any walls, cabinets or objects on the counter or table.
3. Remove all stickers from the grill. Remove drip pan, rotisserie spit, sh baskets, forks and kebabs and wash them in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before placing in the oven.
4. The door handle is removable, in order to let you take it out and clean the inside of unit. Before you use the oven, please assemble the handle yourself by clipping onto the xing plates on the glass door.
5. Dispose of packaging in a responsible manner.
6. It’s a good idea to keep the outer box for storage purposes.
Functionality:
1. When you are ready to use the grill, be sure that the TIMER Control is in the “Off” position and unplugged.
2. We recommend a trial run to familiarise yourself with your grill and to eliminate any problem substance or oil that may have been used for packaging and shipping.
3. Plug the cord Into a 220-240 volt AC outlet.
4. Set the TIMER control to 20 minutes. A small amount of smoke and odour may be detected. This is normal.
5. To avoid scratching, marring, discolouration or re hazard, do not store anything on top of the oven, especially during operation.
RotisserieSet:
Cooking with the Rotisserie set accessories. Accessories: Drip tray, spit and 2 x end forks.

2. Secure tightly with the two forks, using the screws.
3. Insert the spit into the drip tray, align and lift into the top notch. Ensure you tighten the screws so that the bird is secured top and bottom.
4. Close the door.
5. Select the timer to cook for one hour. If you require more cooking time after an hour, reset the timer.
6. Remove using oven glove.
7. Allow to rest breast side down for approx. 10 minutes.

Cookingguidelines:
Ensure all meat, sh and poultry is thoroughly defrosted before cooking.
Have all foods at room temperature before adding to the rotisserie.
Cooking times vary according to size, shape and thickness of the food. Checking the food during cooking is recommended.
Using a meat thermometer helps to ensure your food is cooked thoroughly.
Choose roasts with an even shape for best results in the rotisserie.
For any meat that is cut into pieces – diced chicken, sausages, pork chops – it is recommended to cook using the kebab skewers.
If you want to marinate your meat, do so before adding your meat to the rotisserie.
Tips:
To add avour and help keep your meat moist try pouring ½ to 1 inch of wine or beer into the drip pan before cooking. An inch of water in the drip pan with some added herbs, citrus, or even juice (such as pineapple for ham) can add great avours to your cooking.
Mix your favourite herbs with olive oil or melted butter for basting sh, meat or poultry. Apply during the last 10 – 20 minutes of cooking time.
Allow your meat to cool for 10 – 20 minutes after removing it from the grill. This allows all the juice to redistribute and soak into the meat. This gives you tender, avourful meat.

RecipesforyourVertical RotisserieGrill
With the Tower Vertical Rotisserie Grill, you can make a juicy roast chicken or other meat, with little effort.
The vertical rotisserie is designed to roast meat so it bastes in its own juices that is to say, vertically! The fat drains down into a removable drip tray for healthier-than-oven roasting. Because you’re roasting the meats yourself, you can buy a tastier chicken, control the amount of salt and use the exact herbs and seasoning you’re in the mood for.
The Tower Vertical Rotisserie can be used with beef, lamb or pork, but we tested the appliance using poultry with the aim of lower-fat cooking. If you have the counter space to spare, it is worth it.
Here are a couple of recipes for you to get started, so don’t be afraid and dive on in and experiment!
All recipes are for guideline purposes only and the photography shown is for illustration purposes only.

5TROUBLESHOOTING&FAQ’S
Questions Answers
Why is my meat cooking unevenly?
Make sure that you thread your roast onto the spit evenly. The weight needs to be centralised, with the nose facing upwards.
The spit is failing to rotate.
Reassemble the spit and desired attachment into the rotisserie grill, making sure it is correctly tted into the top plate and housing.
How can I cook ribs in the Vertical Rotisserie Grill?
To cook ribs, weave the spit through the rib bones and cook following your recipe.
What if I want to cook something for more than an hour?
If you need to cook something for more than an hour, all you need to do is set the timer to an hour. Then, once the rst hour of cooking is done, check your food, and set the timer for the rest of the required cooking time.
What is the capacity? The Tower Vertical Rotisserie Grill can accommodate up to 2.5Kg.
Can I cook vegetables in the rotisserie?
Yes. You can cook vegetables on the kebab skewers, or in the sh basket. For best results, chop the vegetables so they are similar sizes and shapes to help them cook evenly.
My roast chicken will not t neatly on the rotisserie.
It’s important to truss your chicken so it is compact and ts nicely onto the spit.
