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”.

A Healthy Alternative

Want to cook healthily using less oil? Tower’s

handy Digital Air Fryer uses revolutionary air blast

technology requiring little or no oil to fry, roast, grill

or bake. The 5.5 litre capacity serves up healthy

portions. A digital timer helps you to stay in control.

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 faster speeds.

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.

ReferenceTable

Reference table of time and temperature for cooking various foods.

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.

Note: The Air Fryer uses hot air heating technology. Never pour oil or fat into the fryer.

Tips: Try soaking your raw cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes and then dry well before putting in the Air Fryer.

Be careful not to overll the Air Fryer basket with

food. For a great even brown crisp, toss fries multiple

times during cooking. Remove fries quickly once the cooking process is

complete to ensure they stay crispy. Thinly slice and separate onions. Cut all vegetables into small pieces to make sure

they cook properly. The Air fryer can also be used to reheat

ingredients. To reheat, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

5TROUBLESHOOTING&FAQ’S

Questions Answers

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

My homemade fries are not crispy enough.

The basket will not t

in place correctly.

How big is the Air Fryer basket?

My food has not cooked uniformly.

How much cooking oil do I need to use?

What is the capacity of the basket?

White smoke is coming out of the Air Fryer.

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

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.

You may have placed too many ingredients in the basket. Make sure you

do not ll the basket beyond the maximum ll line.

The Air Fryer basket is 3.2L.

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

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

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

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.
