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.
The Easiest Way to a Healthy Diet
The Tower Personal Blender not only extracts all
the goodness in fruit and veg, but also in seeds,
skins and stems. The powerful motor and stainless
steel blades burst open seeds and cracks through
stems. It breaks up the parts so fine that you won’t
even know that they’re there, giving you every bit
of nutrition possible from your ingredients. With
six different jar sizes, you can decide exactly how
much want and when, making this a quick and
efficient personal blender for consumption on the
go.
Many people consume smoothies on a regular
basis, and that’s because they have so many
benefits. They’re quick and easy, and a delicious
way to enjoy foods with a high nutrient density.
The possibilities and combinations of ingredients
you can choose are endless, meaning that you can
experiment your way to better healthy. With the
Tower Personal Blender, being healthy has never
tasted so good.

to prevent personal injury or
damage to the blender.

3USINGYOURAPPLIANCE
Assembly:
CAUTION: Do not plug the product into an
electrical outlet until it is fully assembled.
Before using the product for the rst time,
disassemble and wash as follows:
1. Unscrew the blade assembly from the cup
and carefully remove the gasket from its
groove.
CAUTION: Handle blades carefully, as they are
sharp.
2. Wash all parts except the base and power
cord in warm, soapy water or place them
in the top rack of an automatic dishwasher,
then rinse and dry thoroughly.
WARNING: Do not immerse the base or power
cord in water or other liquids.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean
any part of the product.
3. Insert the gasket into the groove in the
blade assembly and securely retighten
the blade assembly onto the top of the
cup. Note that the lip of the gasket faces
upward.
NOTE: When inserting the gasket into the
groove, press the gasket rmly around all sides
and test it by turning the blade assembly upside
down to make sure the gasket is not loose or
does not fall out. There will be a small bump
underneath the gasket where the safety interlock
mechanism protrudes; this is normal.
4. Place the base on a at, level, stable
surface. To attach the cup assembly (with
the cup and the blade assembly securely
attached together), align the symbol on
the bottom edge of the blade assembly with
the mark on the base and turn clockwise
until it is rmly in place, aligned with the
symbol.
Usingyourappliance:
1. Ensure the power cord is unplugged from
the electrical outlet, then remove the cup
assembly from the base and unscrew the
blade assembly.
2. Pour any liquid ingredients into your
Personal Blender cup rst, to help lubricate
the blades. Cut all solid ingredients into
small pieces.
3. Ensure the gasket is securely seated in the
blade assembly, and then securely tighten
the blade assembly clockwise onto the top
of the cup.
4. To attach the cup to the Personal Blender
base, align the symbol on the bottom
edge of the blade assembly with the
mark on the base and turn clockwise until it
is rmly in place, aligned with the symbol.
NOTE: Product will not operate and ready light
will not illuminate unless both the cup and blade
assembly are attached properly to the base.
5. Plug in your Personal Blender. The power
indicating light will illuminate.
6. Press the power button to start blending.
NOTE: If the blades are not operating smoothly,
stop the product and add some liquid, or reduce
the solid contents in the cup.
7. Press the power button again to shut the
blender off.
8. When the blades have stopped, unplug
the power cord from the electrical outlet,
remove the cup from the base, and turn the
cup right-side up.
9. Unscrew the blade assembly from the cup
and empty the contents into a separate
container or screw a drinking lid onto your
cup to enjoy your smoothie on the go!

RestTimes:
Do not operate the Personal Blender for more
than 2 minutes at a time.
Allow the appliance to rest for a minimum of 60
seconds between blending cycles.
If you accidentally do run the stick blender for
longer than any of the stated times, unplug it and
leave it to fully cool to room temperature before
re-using.
QuickClean:
Fill the jar half way full with warm water and
a drop of washing up liquid and t the blade
assembly on. Fit the jar and blade onto the motor
body. Once in place, blend for 10 – 20 seconds.
Remove the jar and unscrew the blade assembly
and then rinse them under running water.
MakingTheMostofYourPersonalblender:
• Adding porridge oats to your smoothie
gives you an energy boost.
• The cheapest way to get in season,
delicious fruit is by buying frozen fruit.
• Frozen fruit helps make your smoothie extra
thick.
• To add a burst of avour, add the juice of
half a lime.
• Adding kale to your smoothie helps boost
your immune system. Whereas spinach,
carrots and red pepper give you an extra
health boost thanks to their antioxidant
content.
• Adding nuts helps your smoothie become
more of a breakfast, rather than just a drink.
• When using lime, roll it under your hand to
break the cells. This gives you more juice
from it.
• Spinach is avourless in a smoothie, yet
very healthy, so don’t be afraid to throw a
lot in.
• Coconut water is a popular liquid to use in
smoothies.
• Dandelion greens and kale aid your bodies
detoxication process.
StandardSmoothieMethod:
Add all the ingredients to the jar, starting with the
heavier items (ice, frozen fruit) as this will help
everything blend). Add the liquid ingredients last.
1. Attach the blade assembly on to the jar.
Plug in your Personal Blender and attach
the jar and blade assembly to the main
body of the blender.
2. Press the power button and blend until you
have reached your desired consistency.
3. Remove the jar from the main body of the
blender and take off the blade assembly.
4. Either screw on the jar lid or decant into a
glass.
