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.

3USINGYOURAPPLIANCE

Before First Use

• Read all instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.

• Remove all packaging

• Clean the Cooking Plates by wiping with a sponge or cloth dampened in warm water.

• Do not immerse the unit and do not run water directly onto the cooking surfaces.

• Dry with a cloth or paper towel.

• For best results, lightly coat the cooking plates with a little cooking oil or cooking spray.

Note: When your Health Grill is heated for the rst time, it may emit a slight smoke or odour. This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety of your appliance.

Using as a Panini Maker

1. Place your Health Grill on a clean, at surface.

2. Set the temperature control to your desired setting.

3. Connect the appliance to the electrical supply. Make sure that the plug is connected properly. The ready and power indicator lights will illuminate, indicating that the Health Grill has begun heating.

4. When the Health Grill has reached the correct temperature for cooking, the ready indicator light will go off. It will take approximately 5 minutes to preheat. During this time, prepare the foods to be cooked.

5. Open the Health Grill and place your Panini

on the bottom cooking plate.

6. Close the Health Grill. Close the top cooking plate. The top cooking plate has a oating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on food. The top plate must be fully lowered to achieve grill marks on the selected foods. The ready indicator light will come on again.

7. Cook between 5 to 8 minutes, until the ready light turns off or the bread is golden brown. It is recommended to check throughout so that you adjust the time to your own taste.

8. Open the Health Grill using the handle.

9. When the food is grilled, use the handle to open the grill and raise the top cooking plate. Remove food with the help of a heat resistant spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating.

Using as an open Grill

1. Place your Health Grill on a clean, at surface.

2. With your one hand on the handle, use your other hand to slide the hinge release lever toward you. Push the handle back until you have opened the Health Grill fully and the upper and lower plates line up to create one large cooking surface.

3. Set the temperature control to your desired setting.

4. Connect the appliance to the electrical supply. Make sure that the plug is connected properly. The ready and power indicator lights will illuminate, indicating that the Health Grill has begun heating.

5. When the Health Grill has reached the correct temperature for cooking, the ready indicator light will go off. It will take approximately 5 minutes to preheat. During this time, prepare the foods to be cooked.

6. Use the Health Grill as an open grill to cook meat, sh and vegetables. The two large cooking plates enable you to cook meat and vegetables at the same time. Check the Grilling Guide for recommended cooking times.

7. When the food is grilled, remove with the help of a heat resistant spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating

Grilling Tips: There is an art to determining when your steak,

lamb chop or cutlet is cooked to the correct degree of doneness - rare, medium rare, medium, medium well or well done - but it is easily mastered with these handy hints and tips.

Rare Cook for a few minutes per side, depending on thickness. Turn once only. Cook until steak feels very soft with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a rare steak as 55-60°C / 130-140°F.

Medium rare Cook on one side until moisture is just visible on top surface. Turn once only. Cook on the other side until surface moisture is visible. Steak will be cooked to medium rare when it feels soft with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium rare steak as 60-65°C / 140-150°F.

Medium Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn once only. Cook on second side until moisture is visible.

Steak will be cooked to medium when it feels springy with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium steak as 65-70°C / 150-160°F.

Medium well Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn and cook on second side until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly and continue to cook until steak feels rm with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium well steak as 70-75°C / 160-170°F.

Well done Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn and cook on second side until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly and continue to cook until steak feels very rm with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a well done steak as 75°C / 170°F.

Hints for Best Results for Toasting Sandwiches:

Bread

The grill is ideal for toasting most types of bread (white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain etc), as well as artisan breads (Focaccia, Turkish bread, baguettes, bread rolls etc.). Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads which contain high sugar content will tend to brown quicker.

Fillings

Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when heated. Be careful when biting into paninis and sandwiches containing llings such as cheese and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.

Toasting Bread

The panini grill is ideal for toasting plain breads and Turkish bread, without any llings or spreads. Try toasting Turkish bread with jams for a great alternative to standard breads at breakfast.

Fat Free Snacks

Due to the non-stick cooking plates, it is not necessary to use any butter or margarine on the outside of your toasted snacks.

Page 12

Fat Free Snacks: Due to the non-stick cooking plates, it is not

necessary to use any butter or margarine on the outside of your toasted snacks.

Grilling Vegetables: Vegetables can be cooked on skewers, or straight on to the grill.

If you are using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them in water rst.

Wash and dry vegetables that you wish to use. Vegetables such as mushrooms and asparagus

can be cooked whole on the grill pan. Grill vegetables until they are tender and lightly

charred all over. Parboil potatoes, carrots and beets before

grilling. Dry them off and brush with oil, then grill. Vegetables such as Zucchini and Aubergine need

to be brushed lightly with oil before grilling. Bell peppers don’t require any oil.

To cook prawns: Toss peeled prawn/pawns with a mixture of baking soda and salt and let them rest for at least fteen minutes. Slide your prawns onto skewers so that they are tightly packed together, with no space between each prawn. This helps the prawns to brown on the outside without going rubbery inside.

If you are using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them in water rst.

Dry the prawns before cooking them, either by blotting them with paper towels, or placing the skewers in the fridge for an hour before cooking, laying the skewers over the edge of a baking dish or bowl, so that they are fully elevated.

Brush the prawns with olive oil when you are ready to cook.

Turn the Health Grill up to the highest heat and cook them on the grill for 6 - 8 minutes or until they are browned, turning them every few minutes.

Serve with a squeeze of lemon and salt.

4CLEANING&CARE

Before cleaning, switch the product off and remove the power plug from the power outlet.

Allow your Health Grill to cool before cleaning. The grill is easier to clean when slightly warm. Always clean your Health Grill after each use to prevent a build-up of baked-on foods. Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth to remove food residue.

For baked on food residue squeeze some warm water mixed with detergent over the food residue then clean with a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad.

IMPORTANT!

Allow to dry fully after cleaning before using again.

Do not use the appliance if damp. Ensure the appliance is completely clean and dry before storing.

Durable Non-stick Coating

Cooking on a non-stick surface minimizes the need for oil, food does not stick and cleaning is easier. Any discolouration that may occur will only detract from the appearance of the grill and will not affect the cooking performance. When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not use metal (or other abrasive) scourers. Wash with warm soapy water. Remove stubborn residue with a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon washing brush.

Storage

1. Unplug power cord from the power outlet.

2. Allow the grill to fully cool.

3. Close the Health Grill so that the top and bottom cooking plates are together and push down the locking mechanism at the side of the grill to lock together.

4. Store the drip tray together with the grill.

5. Wrap the power cord in the cord storage area below the grill.

6. Store on a at, dry level surface.

8TROUBLESHOOTING&FAQ’S

Questions Answers

What do I do if food gets stuck to the cooking plates?

If food gets stuck to the cooking plates do not use metal utensils, as this can damage the non-stick cooking surface. Gently remove the food using wooden or heat resistant utensils instead.

Does it need preheating?

Yes. Always preheat the Health Grill for best results. Preheat with the lid closed for approximately 5 minutes.

Do I need to use oil when cooking?

Some non-fatty meats and veg may require the addition of a small amount of oil to assist the non-stick surface.

Why are my sandwich llings spilling over during cooking?

You may have added too many llings to your sandwiches. Ensure that no llings are ‘overowing’ when you add the sandwich to the Health Grill. Fillings such as cheese and jam reach very high temperatures when heated and can spill over.

Do the indicator lights show when my food is done?

No. The indicator lights only indicate power, and that the sandwich maker has reached the correct temperature. Ensure you do not leave the Health Grill unattended during use.

My frozen chicken breasts are still pink inside but look cooked outside.

To make sure that meats and poultry are safely cooked through, be sure to thaw them before grilling.

Do I need to place my food in the middle of the grill for it to cook?

No, the grill plate is heated consistently along its length, so you don’t need to worry about some food getting more heat than others.
