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.

All in one

The Tower 33L Air Convector Oven fries, bakes

and grills, providing you with a versatile appliance

that works just like a conventional oven but takes

up half the space. Featuring a compact design,

this appliance will t in any kitchen. Adjustable

temperature between 60 and 230 degrees means

your meals will always be cooked to perfection and

accessories including a rotisserie fork and handle

mean you’re covered for every culinary eventuality.

As well as baking and grilling Tower 33L Air

Convector Oven works as an air fryer and a

convection oven.

Air Frying: 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.

Convection: Using circulating air, the convection

oven cooks food quickly, efciently and uses much

less energy than conventional cooking methods.

The hot air method of cooking ensures an even

distribution of heat around the food. One of the

effects of this is that the surface of food, such as

meat, is quickly sealed, allowing it to retain the

succulence of its original avour.

8TROUBLESHOOTING&FAQ’S

Problem Solution

Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning.

The oven temperature may be too low or high.

If food is cooking too quickly, try lowering the shelf. If food is cooking too slowly, move the shelf up.

Steam is coming from the oven.

This is a normal occurrence when cooking foods with high water content. Take care when opening the oven as steam may escape when you open the door.

The oven is not cooking evenly.

Check you are using the correct temperature for the recipe as the temperature may be too high.

The food/dish may not be placed centrally on the tray.

There is a smell of burning in the oven.

There may be a build-up of grease in the oven or on the wire rack. Always wipe down the oven inside after use, once it has cooled completely. Always wash the wire rack after each use to remove any grease build-up.
