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 without coffee, filling it with water to
the maximum mark.
3. Your appliance is now ready for normal use.
4. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner.
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.
2. Place the filter basket into the funnel and make sure it is correctly fitted into
place.
3. Add coffee powder to the filter basket. Usually a single cup requires a level
spoon of coffee powder, but you may adjust according to personal taste.
4. Replace the top lid.
Note: The appliance will not work unless the top lid is closed and in its correct
position.
5. Insert the travel mug onto the warming plate horizontally. Ensure the centre
line of the mug aligns with the anti-drip valve.
Note: The travel mug can be inserted onto the warming plate with the protective
lid on, as coffee will seep through the hole in the lid and into the cup. However,
we recommend the lid is taken off, to prevent water and coffee residue from
accumulating on the edges of the lid during the brewing process.
6. Plug the coffee machine into the mains.
WARNING: Do not open the top lid during the brewing process to avoid being
scalded.
7. Eventually, the coffee will begin to flow into the detachable mug from the
coffee outlet. When your coffee maker is finished brewing, the “Start” button
will go off and the appliance will automatically stop working and switch to
keep warm mode. After keeping warm for 7 minutes, the appliance will cut off
automatically and the “Start” button light will go off.
Note: The travel mug will keep coffee warm for approximately an hour after it has
been brewed.
8. Press the Start button again at any time during the brewing cycle to interrupt
the brewing cycle. After the brewing cycle has been interrupted, open the top
lid and then close it again to make the appliance continue operating.

5 - Using Your Appliance

9
Note: We do not recommend stopping or pausing the unit during the brewing
process.
9. Remove the travel mug 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: When pouring, be careful not to angle the travel mug beyond a safe
angle. We recommend the inclination is of no more than 45 degrees from the
vertical position. Pour the coffee slowly until the mug is empty, otherwise the
coffee may splash out and cause scalding.
10. After the unit has finished brewing, you must open the top lid and then close it
again before going into the next cycle.
11. 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 Care’ 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.
Questions Answers
What kind of coffee
should I use?
Any ground coffee. You can buy pre-ground coffee for filter ma-
chines from supermarkets in a variety of different flavours and
blends to suit your taste, you can grind your own coffee beans, or
you can buy beans from your favourite coffee shop and ask for them
to be ground to filter consistency.
How do you clean
the filter?
The filter can be washed out in warm water, however it must be fully
dry prior to re-insertion into the product.
Can I put the carafe
in the microwave?
No, never put the carafe in the microwave, dishwasher or on a
hotplate.

5. Replace all parts for your next use of the appliance.
Removing mineral deposits:
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 should be 4:1. Make sure you refer
to the instructions that come with your de-scaling product. Please use a
household de-scaler. You may also use citric acid instead of the de-scaler, in
the proportion of one hundred parts of water to three parts of citric acid.
2. Insert the travel mug 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. Once the brewing period is finished, switch off the appliance.
6. Leave the solution for 15 minutes and repeat steps 3-5.
7. Switch the appliance on and run off the solution until the water tank is
completely empty.
8. Rinse the tank by operating the appliance with only water at least 3 times. This
will ensure that all de-scaler is flushed from the system.
