GREAT BRITISH DESIGN, INNOVATION

AND EXCELLENCE SINCE 1912

Since the turn of the 20th century, Tower has been designing,

developing and manufacturing housewares and small

appliances used by millions of households throughout the

UK and beyond. During the 1960s, the rise in popularity

of pressure cooking saw Tower become the UK’s largest

producer of pressure cookers, right through into the late

1980s. In recent years the Tower brand has been reborn with

an exciting and varied range of housewares and electrical

appliances that have quickly reinstated the brand’s richly

deserved status as a household name.

1. Remove the parts from the packaging.

2. Clean your kettle by going through several boiling cycles, using clean water

with each cycle and ﬁlling the kettle to its upper marking. The water will

reach boiling point after approximately 5 minutes. The kettle switches off

automatically.

3. Discard the boiled water. Wait for the kettle to cool, then rinse it with cold

water.

4. Your appliance is now ready for normal use.

5. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner.

1. Fill the kettle using either the spout or lid. Open the lid by pressing the lid

release button.

2. The water level must be between the MAX and MIN ﬁll lines.

3. Check that the lid is closed correctly.

4. Ensure that the base unit and the base of your kettle are not wet.

5. Place the kettle onto the base unit and plug in.

6. Switch the kettle on by pressing down the On/Off switch located underneath

the handle to the On position.

7. A light will illuminate inside the kettle when it is turned on.

Note: The ON/OFF switch will also automatically return to the OFF position when

switch time to reset. The delay should be no more than 20 seconds.

10. When you lift the kettle up from the base, you may see drops of water on the

4 - Before First Use

5 - Using Your Appliance

Boil Dry Protection:

• Your kettle will switch off automatically if you try to use it with too little water

or if it is empty.

• If this happens, ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the off position, remove it from

the base unit and allow it to cool down before re-ﬁlling.

• Wait at least 15 minutes for the cut-out to reset before reﬁlling with cold water

and boiling.

CAUTION! DO NOT switch the kettle on unless it contains at least one cup of

water to avoid damaging the appliance and shortening its lifespan.

Filter:

• Your kettle is ﬁtted with a ﬁlter. The ﬁlter helps to prevent limescale from

• getting into your drink.

• The ﬁlter should be cleaned regularly, in particular if there are noticeable

deposits left on it, or if pouring is affected in any way.

• To clean the ﬁlter, rinse it under the tap.
