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.

Read all instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.
Remove all packaging
Clean the Cooking Plates by wiping a sponge or cloth dampened in warm water.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT AND DO NOT RUN WATER DIRECTLY ON 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 Mini Panini 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.
1. Place your Mini Panini Grill on a clean, at surface.
2. Connect the appliance to the electrical supply. Make sure that the plug is connected
properly. The indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the Mini Panini Grill has begun
heating.
3. When the Mini Panini Grill has reached the correct temperature for cooking, the indicator
light will go off. It will take approximately 5 minutes to preheat. During this time, prepare
the foods to be cooked.
4. Open the Mini Panini Grill and place your Panini on the bottom cooking plate.
5. Close the Mini Panini 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
Grilling Tips:
Bread
The grill is ideal for toasting most types of bread (white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain
etc), as well as artisan breads (Focaccia, Panini, 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.
4 - Before First Use
5 - Using Your Appliance
9
Toasting Bread
The Mini 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.
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 courgette and aubergine need to be brushed lightly with oil before grilling.
Bell peppers don’t require any oil.

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 Mini Panini 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 ‘overowing’ when you add the sandwich to the Mini Panini 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 Mini
Panini 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.

DISPOSAL OF THE UNIT
Appliances bearing the symbol shown here may not be disposed of in domestic rubbish.
You are required to dispose of old electrical and electronic appliances like this separately.
Please visit www.recycle-more.co.uk or www.recyclenow.co.uk for access to information
about the recycling of electrical items.
Please visit www.weeeireland.ie for access to information about the recycling of
electrical items purchased in Ireland.
The WEEE directive, introduced in August 2006, states that all electrical items must be
recycled, rather than taken to landll.
Please arrange to take this appliance to your local Civic Amenity site for
recycling, once it has reached the end of its life.
1. Before cleaning, switch the product off and remove the power plug from the power outlet.
2. Allow your Mini Panini Grill to cool before cleaning. The grill is easier to clean when
slightly warm.
3. Always clean your Mini Panini Grill after each use to prevent a build-up of baked-on foods.
4. Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth to remove food residue.
5. 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 Mini Panini 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. Wrap the power cord in the cord storage area below the grill.
5. Store on a at, dry level surface.
