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.

socket before lling (or emptying) the iron

with water. Set the temperature dial to ‘MIN’.

2. Place the iron on the heel rest and tilt forward at an approximately 45° angle.

6. If you set the temperature control to a lower setting after ironing at a high temperature, please allow time for the iron to cool. This is to prevent scorching on your garment.

SprayFunction

Press the spray button at any time to spray water on clothes, as often as required.

Note: Ensure that there is enough water in the

tank to use the spray function. During rst use,

you may have to pump the spray button several times to start the spraying function.

VerticalSteam

The Iron is tted with a vertical steam function.

This enables you to remove creases from hanging clothes, wall hangings or curtains.

Hold the Iron vertically and direct it towards the fabric and press the stream burst button.

Warning: Ensure that the steam is not directed towards yourself or other people. The ejected steam is hot and therefore hazardous.

Anti-Calcfunction

A special resin lter inside the water reservoir

softens hard water and prevents scale build-up in the plate.

The resin lter is permanent and does not need

replacing. However if you live in a particularly hard water area, we recommend using bottled or distilled water.

Warning: never pour vinegar or other liquid cleaners for eliminating calcium into water tank.

Anti-dripfunction

With a bimetal assembled inside the iron, which closes the steam when the iron soleplate becomes very low, so water leakage will never happen with this features.

Automaticsafetyshut-off

1. The iron has an electronic safety device which switches off the heating element automatically if the iron is left motionless.

2. The iron will shut off after 30 seconds in a horizontal position or 8 minutes in a vertical position.

3. Pick up the iron or move it lightly to heat it up again. The indicator light will come on. When the indicator light is off, the iron is ready for use.

4. To prevent water dripping from the soleplate in the horizontal resting position, set the steam control dial to position 0 or stand the iron on its end if the appliance is left unattended for a while.

Ironingtips

• Always check rst whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article.

• The iron heats up quicker than it cools down, therefore, you should start ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of

synthetic bres.

• If the fabric consists of various kinds

of bres, you must always select the

lowest ironing temperature to iron the

composition of those bres.

• Silk and other fabrics that are likely to become shiny should be ironed on the inner side.

• Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one direction with light pressure applied. Always keep the iron moving at any given moment.

• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set a steam position. Preferably set steam button to the maximum position and use a dry cloth as a mat.

Note: when ironing woollen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur. So it is suggested that you should turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.

Page 10

IMPORTANT

Read all garment labels when ironing and ensure the manufacturers ironing guidelines are followed. The manufacturers ironing guidelines are often shown by symbols similar to the below:

Note: if the article to be ironed consists of various different fabrics, always select the temperature required by the most delicate fabric.
