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.

toasting slots or toasting lever slots.
2. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.
3. Do not put the toaster, cord or plug in water.
4. Make sure the crumb tray is pushed all the way into the back of the toaster
and the toasting lever is in the UP position.

toaster and plug into a 220- 240V AC outlet.
6. Turn the browning selector dial to the lightest setting.
7. Lower the toasting lever until it locks in place. Operate without bread once or
twice to burn off any manufacturing residue. You may notice a light amount of
smoke; this is normal and will stop as the heating elements continue to heat.
1. Make sure the crumb tray is pushed all the way into the back of the Toaster
and the toasting lever is in the UP position.
2. Make sure no bread or other objects are inside the toasting slots.
3. Place the toaster on a flat, level, heat resistant surface.
4. Plug the power cord into a 220-240AC electrical outlet.
5. Position the browning control to desired setting. To test toasting times for

few times to raise jammed bread.
12. To interrupt toasting, press the corresponding CANCEL button.
13. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet when not in use.

electrician who will be pleased to do
this for you.
If you need to remove the plug -
