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 VitaBlend Pro 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 ne that you won’t
even know that they’re there, giving you every
bit of nutrition possible from your ingredients.
With two different sports bottle sizes, you can
decide exactly how much want and when, making
this a quick and efcient personal blender for
consumption on the go.
Many people consume smoothies on a regular
basis, and that’s because they have so many
benets. 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 VitaBlend Pro, being healthy has never
tasted so good.

3USINGYOURAPPLIANCE
The Tower VitaBlend Pro is ideal for healthy
eating on the go. A simple one touch operation,
it’s fast and simple to make a lling 800ml
smoothie, that gets blended straight into the
bottle you drink it out of.
If you want a ligther smoothie, the 500ml
capacity sports bottle is perfect for you.
Choose your own ingredients and blend to your
perfect consistency for a smoothie catering
exactly to your taste.
Using the Tower VitaBlend Pro you can also
chop, grate, grind, puree and more. Simply add
your ingredients to the sports bottle and attach
to the blender. Push down for the blades to work
and remove when done.
Assembling/OperatingYourBlender
1. Place the sports bottle on a at surface with
the open end facing up.Fill the bottle with
your ingredients. Wash fruit / vegetables
rst and slice into small pieces –
about 2 x 2 cm. Ensure you do not ll the
bottle past the MAX ll line.
Note: The Product is NOT suitable for blending
any hot liquids. The blender can be used to
blend soup, however it would need to be heated
up after blending. If blending soup, ensure that
the ingredients are cooled before putting into the
VitaBlend Pro.
1. Fasten the blade assembly on the open end
of the sports bottle. Twist clockwise to t
in place.
2. Turn the sports bottle upside down.
3. Fasten the bottle into the blender base
by aligning the three safety tabs on the
sports bottle with the three recesses in the
blender base. The sports bottle will then be
locked in place.
4. Push the sports bottle down to blend.
5. Allow the blender to cool for 3 minutes after
every 1 minutes of continuous usage.
6. Unplug the appliance once you have
blended to your preferred consistency.
7. Twist the sports bottle and pull up to
remove.
8. Turn the sports bottle over and place on a
at surface.
9. Unscrew the blade assembly by twisting
it anti-clockwise. Once it is loose, remove
the blade assembly and put in a safe place,
being cautious of the sharp blades.
10. Replace the blade assembly with the
drinking lid.
11. Your drink is now ready.
PulseBlending
To use the pulse function simply push down for
30 seconds and release until desired consistency
has been achieved. After 2 x 30 second cycles
we recommend that the user allows the product
to cool for 3 minutes.
ContinuousBlending
For prolonged blending the sports bottle can be
twisted clockwise into its locked position, this
will now blend until the sports bottle has been
released to its original unlocked position.
After blending is complete remove the sports
bottle from the base unit. Turn the sports bottle
back upright and remove blade assembly.
The user can now attach the storage lid and
refrigerate or attach the drinking lid for drinking
on the go.

BuiltinSafetyLock
The blender has a built-in safety lock feature.
This ensures that you can only switch on the
appliance while the cup and the blade assembly
are assembled on the motor base securely.
QuickClean
Fill the sports bottle half way full with warm water
and a drop of washing up liquid and t the blade
assembly on. Fit the sports bottle and blade onto
the motor body. Once in place, blend for 10 – 20
seconds. Remove the sports bottle and unscrew
the blade assembly and then rinse them under
running water.
MakingTheMostOfYourVitablendPro:
• 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 body’s
detoxication process.
StandardSmoothieMethod:
Add all the ingredients to the sports bottle,
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 sports
bottle. Plug in your VitaBlend Pro and
attach the Sport Bottle and blade assembly
to the main body of the blender.
2. Push the sports bottle down and blend until
you have reached your desired consistency.
3. Remove the sports bottle from the main
body of the blender and take off the blade
assembly. Either screw on the sports bottle
lid or decant into a glass.
RedPepperandOrangeSimpleSmoothie:
½ red pepper, chopped
1 orange, peeled and segmented
1 ½ cups coconut milk
1 cup ice
RedEnergisingSmoothie:
3 cups of Red Grapes
1 cup of strawberries
1 banana
1 strip of kale
