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. Prior to initial use run the Coffee Maker for the first time without coffee, filling
with water to the maximum mark.
3. Your appliance is now ready for normal use.
4. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner.
Brewing Your Coffee:
1. Open the top lid and fill the water tank with drinking water.
NOTE: Do not exceed the MAX LEVEL as indicated on the water tank. The
appliance can brew max 4 cups of coffee every brewing cycle.
2. Place the brewing basket into the grinding cavity and make sure the brewing
basket is correctly fitted into place.
3. Add coffee powder or beans to the brewing basket. Usually a cup, or two cups
of coffee, uses three spoons of coffee beans or powder, three cups of needs five
spoons, and four cups needs six spoons of coffee beans or coffee powder, but
you may adjust according to personal taste.
NOTE: The appliance will not work unless the top lid is closed and in its correct
position.
4. Insert the glass carafe onto the warming plate horizontally; ensure centre line
of the carafe aligns with anti-drip valve.

5 - Using Your Appliance

• After it has finished grinding the appliance starts to brew coffee. After a while,
coffee flows into the glass carafe from the coffee outlet. The appliance will
automatically stop operating and switch to ‘keep-warm’ condition after it has
finished brewing. After keeping warm for 30 minutes, the appliance will cut off
automatically and the indicator light of the “Start” button will extinguish.
NOTE: During the brewing process, you can press the “Start” button again if you
want to make the appliance stop working. However, it is better not to avoid
stopping the unit during brewing process.
To continue brewing, you must firstly open the top lid and then close it again to
make the appliance continue operating.
NOTE: The appliance is designed with a pause-and-serve feature, if you wish, at
any time during the brewing cycle, you can temporarily remove the glass carafe
to pour and serve a cup of hot coffee.
The brewing cycle will not be interrupted and no coffee will drip from the
appliance. Simply replace glass carafe onto warming plate to restart the
brewing cycle, but do not remove the carafe for longer than 30s. Never return
the empty glass carafe onto warming plate when it is still warm.
Remove glass carafe to serve when the unit has finished brewing. For an
optimum coffee taste, serve it just after brewing.
NOTE: The volume of coffee brewed will be less than the amount of water first
added as some water will be absorbed during the brewing process.
CAUTION: Be careful when pouring from the Carafe that you do not angle it
beyond a safe angle. We recommend no more than 45 degrees from the vertical
position. Pour the coffee slowly until the glass carafe is empty, otherwise the
coffee may will rush into the lid, and flow out from two edges of lid. This will
result in a mess and could, if the liquid is still hot, cause scalding.
Always turn the coffee maker off and unplug the appliance when not in use.
Hints For Great Tasting Coffee:
1. A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly
clean the coffee maker as specified in the “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”
section. Always use fresh, cold water in the coffee maker.
2. Store unused coffee powder in a cool, dry place. After opening a packet of
coffee powder reseal it tightly and store it in a refrigerator to maintain its
freshness.
3. For an optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them
just before brewing.
4. Do not reuse coffee powder since this will greatly reduce the coffee flavour.
Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavour
immediately after brewing.
5. Clean the coffee maker when over-extraction causes oiliness. Small oil droplets
on the surface of brewed, black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the
coffee powder.
6. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used.

Brew Coffee With Coffee Powder:
To keep your coffee maker operating eciently, you should periodically clean away
scale deposits left by the water according to the water quality in your area and the
use,
We recommend removing mineral deposits as follows:
1. Fill the tank with water and de-scaler to the max level as indicated on the
water tank (the scale of water to de-scaler is 4:1. Make sure you refer to the
instructions that come with your descaling product. Please use “household de-
scaler”), you may also use the citric acid instead of the de-scaler (one hundred
parts of water and three parts of citric acid).
2. Insert the glass carafe onto the warming plate.
3. Make sure the brewing basket is clear of coffee beans or powder and is in place
in the unit.
4. Switch on the appliance and allow it to “brew” the de-scaling solution.
5. After the “brew” one-cup solution has run, switch off the appliance.
6. Leave the solution for 15 minutes and repeat step 3-5.
7. Switch on the appliance and run off the solution until the water tank is
completely empty.
8. Rinse by operating the appliance with water only at least 3 times. This will
ensure that all de-scaler is flushed from the system.
