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.

a few seconds - allow the On/Off switch

time to reset.

10. When you lift the kettle up from the base,

you may see drops of water on the base.

This is just condensation from steam.

Tips:

Improve the quality of your drinks by always

using fresh water.

Empty the kettle after each use.

Be economical and do not boil more water than

allow it to cool down before re-lling.

Washable Filter:

Your kettle is tted with a lter. The lter helps to

prevent limescale from getting into your drink.

The lter should be cleaned regularly, in particular

if there are noticeable deposits left on it, or

if pouring is affected in anyway. To clean the

lter, remove it from the kettle and rinse it under

the tap. You can also drop the lter in when

descaling your kettle. Rinse the lter thoroughly

before tting it back into the kettle.

cleaning.

2. Do not immerse the base unit of the

appliance in water.

3. Clean the base unit and outside of the

agents to clean the appliance;

they may damage the outside surfaces of

the appliance.

De-scaling

Important: Failure to de-scale your kettle may

invalidate your guarantee.

If you do not de-scale your kettle regularly, the

build-up of limescale may result in the following:

• The kettle taking longer to boil.

• Damage to the heating element.

• The safety cut out may operate prematurely,

switching the kettle off before the water has

boiled.

To minimise scale build-up:

Empty the kettle of water after each use.

Do not allow water to stand in the kettle

overnight.

Using ltered water instead of tap water will help

to reduce limescale build up.

How to de-scale:

Any regular de-scaling agent may be used,

provided the relevant instructions are observed.

Do not ll the kettle to the upper mark to avoid

spillage if the de-scaling agent causes the water

to foam.

To clean the kettle thoroughly of any

de-calcication residues let it go through several

boiling cycles using clean water.
