Please read these notes carefully
BEFORE using your Tower
Pressure Cooker
2.1SafetyFeatures
2.1.1 Pressure Limiting Valve and
Pressure Indicator
• Once the pressure has built up
to its working level, the pressure
limiting valve will release any
excess steam. Once the
pressure cooker has reached its
working pressure, the pressure
indicator will rise to show one
line.
• Should the pressure indicator
rise to show a second red line,
the pressure is incorrect and
action needs to be taken. The
pressure cooker should be
taken off the heat and allowed
to cool. When the pressure
indicator has dropped, the
pressure has been completely
reduced. The pressure limiting
valve should then be removed,
the cover can then be opened
and the pressure cooker
checked to ensure that it has
been set up correctly.
2.1.2 Safety Valve
• This will rise when the operating
pressure reaches 4kPa –
beware of any escaping steam
as this can scald.
2.1.3 Sealing Ring/Safety Window
• When the pressure limiting
valve and the safety valve
have not been activated, the
sealing ring will be squeezed
out through the safety window.
In this eventuality, action needs
to be taken. The pressure
cooker should be taken off
the heat and allowed to cool.
When the pressure indicator
has dropped, the pressure has
been completely reduced. The
pressure limiting valve should
then be removed, the Cover
can then be opened and the
pressure cooker checked to
ensure that it has been set up
correctly.
2.1.4 Lock/Unlock Handle
• In order to open or close
the cover, the lock/unlock
handle needs to be twisted 90
degrees.

2.2UserSafety
• The pressure cooker heats food
under pressure.
• When the pressure cooker is at
its operating pressure, the liquid
boils at 120°C
• When the food is at boiling
temperature, and when the
pressure is decreasing rapidly,
steam and boiling liquid can
escape from the pressure
cooker.
• To avoid injury, ensure that
the pressure cooker is closed
correctly and securely before
use. Do NOT start to heat the
pressure cooker until the lid
has been correctly and securely
closed.
• DO NOT leave the pressure
cooker unattended.
• DO NOT allow children to use
the pressure cooker
• DO NOT obstruct the pressure
limiting valve – it must be clear
at all times.
• Finally, take care to position
the pressure cooker so that
tthe pressure limiting valve and
safety windows are not in close
proximity to other people or
yourself so as to prevent injury
from escaping steam.
2.3Safetyduringuse
• Always check the pressure
limiting valve before use – hold
the cover up to the light and look
through the valve to ensure that it
is clear from any food, dirt, scale
etc.
2.4Foodsandsafequantities
• The amount of food and liquid
placed into the pressure cooker
must NOT exceed
2⁄3
of the
volume of the pressure cooker.
This is to allow room for any
expansion, bubbling etc which
could block the steam release
valves. The amount of liquid
(water, soup etc) must NOT
be less than 200ml in order
to avoid the risk of boiling dry.
When cooking soup, rice or
dried vegetables that expand
during cooking, do not ll more
than ¼ full.
• NEVER use your Tower One-
Touch Pressure Cooker with
oil. Some manufacturers may
advise using small amounts of
oil and some recipes may call
for a similar amount of oil to be
added. However, food must NOT
be cooked directly in oil, i.e. for
cooking food such as chips.

Safety and Instruction Manual

Helpline: [phone]
• DO NOT pressure cook foods
such as stewed fruit, apple
sauce, cranberries, rhubarb,
pearl barley, oatmeal, other
cereals, split peas, soup mixes
containing dried vegetables,
noodles, macaroni or spaghetti.
These foods tend to foam, froth
and splutter and may block the
pressure limiting valve.
• If you are cooking foods that
have skins, always pierce the
skins before cooking. Do NOT
pierce the skins immediately after
cooking as the food could still be
pressurised and may spray hot
liquid that can cause injury.
• When cooking foods such as
porridge or soup, allow your
Tower Pressure Cooker to
cool once the cooling time has
elapsed, then shake the pressure
cooker gently before opening
to release any air bubbles. This
will reduce the risk of bursting
once the lid is open and prevent
possible injury.
• When cooking soft food, such
as rice, allow to cool, then shake
the Pressure Cooker gently
before opening to avoid hot food
spraying out as the pressure is
released.
• In the unlikely event the
appliance develops a fault,
stop using it immediately and
seek advice from the service
department:

g
For the rst time of use, clean the pressure
cooker, ll with about 400ml of water and
heat for 30 minutes. Allow to cool and then
empty the heated water. Your pressure cooker
is now ready for use.
3.1BeforeCooking&SettheTimer
Open the lid – Twist the unlock handle in order
to separate the cover from the bowl.
Check the Valves – Before each use, check that
the pressure limiting valve, safety valve and safety
window are not blocked and that the sealing ring
is in place.
Add the Ingredients – place your selected
ingredients in the bowl. Always use liquid in your
pressure cooker. To avoid damage, DO NOT heat
the pressure cooker when it is empty or dry.
As explained in Section 2.4, when cooking
foods that will foam or froth, such as rice,
dried vegetables or stewed fruit, do NOT ll
the pressure cooker bowl to more than ¼ of its
capacity in order to allow the food to expand
without blocking the pressure limiting valve.
Similarly, if you are cooking foods that do not
expand, e.g. meat and vegetables, DO NOT
ll above 2/3 of the capacity of the bowl.
Close the Cover – Fit the cover and twist the
locking handle to lock the cover to the bowl.
Cooking Pressure – The Tower Pressure Cooker
has one operating pressure, namely 80kPa (See
Cooking Times and Recipes, Section 4)
Select the cooking time using the digital
timer – Your Tower One-Touch Pressure Cooker
incorporates a digital timer that enables you
to set the precise cooking time. This feature is
unique to the Tower One-Touch Pressure Cooker.
Once you have set the time, the timer may be
removed from the cover knob and may be taken
around the house with you. When the cooking
time has nished, an alarm sounds, alerting you
to return and remove the pressure cooker from
the heat.
Heating – Turn the hob to its highest setting in
order to get the pressure cooker as quickly as
possible to its required cooking pressure.
NOTE: Some steam will escape from the
safety valve after the pressure cooker has
been heating. This is normal and will cease
once the safety valve has risen.
Setting The Timer – Press the blue button on
the timer. The number “00” will be displayed.
Then press the button the required number of
times – i.e. if you need 10 minutes, press the
button 10 times.
The digital clock will then start counting down
and, when it reaches “00” the alarm will sound.
To stop the alarm, press the blue button. After a
few seconds, the numbers will disappear
If you wish to stop the time counting down,
press and hold down the blue button for a few
seconds; the numbers “00” will be displayed and
then the screen will go clear.
If you wish to leave the kitchen while the cooking
is in progress, the timer can be removed from the
cover knob and taken with you. The timer and
the alarm will continue to work in the same way.
Upon return to the pressure cooker, the timer can
be replaced in its slot.
3.2DuringCooking
3.2.1 Cooking Pressure
Once the required cooking pressure (80kPa) has
been reached, the pressure limiting valve will
rise and steam will escape continuously from it
(emitting a hissing sound as it does so). At this
point, the heat should be turned down to the
lowest possible level that maintains the pressure
limiting valve in its raised position.
3.2.2 Cooking Time
The cooking time begins directly the heat is
turned down, once the pressure limiting valve
rises and the pressure cooker begins to hiss.
Once the cooking time has nished, the hob

should be turned off and the pressure cooker
allowed to cool.
3.2.3 Caution
DO NOT leave the pressure cooker unattended
during cooking.
DO NOT touch the metal surfaces of the
pressure cooker during cooking as they will be
very hot. Always use oven gloves and hold the
pressure cooker by both handles, keeping the
pressure cooker level.
The timer is NOT waterproof – please keep it
away from any contact with water.
The timer is not a toy – keep it away from
children and pets.
3.3OnceCookingHasFinished
Do NOT attempt to open your pressure cooker
until it has cooled and the pressure has been
released.
3.3.1 Natural Cooling – The Preferred Method
Using oven gloves and gripping the handles,
carefully move the pressure cooker on to a level,
heat-resistant surface and leave it to stand until
the pressure has reduced and the safety valve
has lowered.
3.3.2 Rapid Cooling
If it is necessary to cool the pressure cooker
more rapidly, place it in a sink and run cold water
over it until the safety valve has lowered
DO NOT allow water to enter the pressure
cooker through the safety valve or through the
pressure limiting valve.
REMOVE the timer from the cover when using
the rapid cooling methods as the timer is NOT
waterproof.
3.3.3 Opening The Pressure Cooker
Once the safety valve has lowered, the pressure
limiting valve can be removed. When all of the
steam has escaped and the valve rod has been
released, the lid can be opened. If the safety
valve rod has not dropped, it means that there is
still some pressure in the pressure cooker.
To ensure your safety, the cover cannot be
opened until the indicating valve rod has
dropped. DO NOT force the pressure cooker
open.
Under these circumstances, the safety valve may
be pressed down, using a needle or a cocktail
stick to enable the remaining steam to escape.
The pressure limiting valve should always be
removed before opening the cover.
Use oven gloves to open the cover to avoid the
risk of injury.
If soft foods, such as rice, are being cooked,
shake the pressure cooker gently to relieve the
pressure before opening. Similarly with foods
such as soup, shake gently to disperse any
bubbles as they could burst and spray hot liquid,
causing injury.
Next, twist the lock/unlock handle to open the
lid.
3.4HowtoUsetheSteamer
Some recipes, such as Christmas pudding,
require pre-steaming before being brought to
cooking temperature. Pre-steaming can be
carried out in a closed pressure cooker, over a
medium heat.
Once steaming begins, the heat should be
turned down as low as possible in order to
reduce the amount of steam that escapes and
the amount of water that is consumed. Once
pre-steaming is complete, check that there is
still sufcient water remaining to complete the
cooking stage.
The cover should be locked into position and the
heat turned up to bring the pressure cooker up
to cooking pressure.
The basket is used to prevent the food from
coming into contact with the liquid while, at the
same time, allowing the steam to circulate freely
in and around the food.
The basket may be lined with aluminium foil when
cooking foods such as rice or pasta. However, in
order to prevent the rice or pasta from blocking
the safety vents, the basket should be covered
with greaseproof paper, which must be tied
down securely around the sides of the basket.

Leek and Hazelnut Risotto
Ingredients
Serves: 4
• 850ml hot meat or vegetable stock
• 2 baby carrots
• 2 to 3 small leeks
• 1 knob of butter
• 1 rosemary sprig
• 225ml dry white wine
• 400g Carnaroli, Arborio or
Vialone Nano rice
• 1 teaspoon salt (or less if the stock is
already salty)
• 1 handful of hazelnuts, roughly chopped
with a grinder
• 1 knob of butter
• Grated Parmesan cheese, to serve
absorbed, and then pour the rest of the
wine over the rice. Let the wine evaporate
again. Add the salt and the boiling stock to
the rice, stir and close the pressure cooker
straight away.
4. Put the pressure cooker to the highest
heat level and bring it to pressure.
Depending on the model, you can turn
off the cooker when it gets to pressure or
lower the heat. Calculate about 4 minutes
from when the pressure cooker comes to
pressure.
5. While the rice is cooking, toast the
hazelnuts in a dry frying pan on medium
heat for a few minutes until they are
golden, stirring constantly.
6. After 4 minutes in the pressure cooker,
remove it from the heat, relieve the
pressure by letting the steam escape. Pay
attention while doing this because some
liquid can come out of the valve.
7. Open the pressure cooker, stir the risotto
and check to see if it needs more salt.
Add the other knob of butter and stir,
letting it cream the risotto before serving.
Serve the risotto with a generous sprinkling
of Parmesan cheese and the toasted nuts.
Method
1. In a medium sized pot, bring the stock
to the boil. Peel the carrots and cut them
into little cubes. Cut the leeks in half
lengthways, wash them under running
water, get rid of the dark green part and
then cut them into little (2mm) pieces.
2. Put the pressure cooker on medium heat
and melt 1 knob of butter. Brown the
leeks, carrots and the rosemary sprig.
Pour half of the white wine and let it
simmer. (Keep the other half for later to
pour over the rice.)
3. When the wine has evaporated, add
the rice, mixing it so that the butter is

• Vanilla extract 1 tsp
• Self-raising our 100g
• Cocoa powder 1 tbsp
• Grated dark chocolate 2 tbsp
Method
1. Butter a 1.2 litre pudding basin. Cream the
butter with the sugar until light and uffy.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add
gradually. Add the vanilla extract and mix
in.
2. Meanwhile, heat at least 5cm water in your
pressure cooker with a steamer insert or
an improvised steamer rack in place.
3. Sift the our and cocoa into the mixture.
Gently fold, adding the chocolate. Add a
tablespoon of water until the mixture is
soft enough to drop from the spoon.
4. Pour the mixture into your prepared basin,
lling only three-quarters to allow room to
rise.
5. Take a double square of greaseproof
paper, large enough to hang over the rim
of the basin by a few centimetres, and
fold a pleat into it. Butter the underside
and secure the paper with a long piece of
string under the rim. Loop the string over
the basin and tie on the opposite side to
make a handle.
6. Put the basin into the steamer, cover the
pressure cooker without clamping the
cover closed and steam for 15 minutes.
This is essential to allow the sponge to
rise.
7. Now clamp on the cover. Bring up to full
pressure, turn the heat down to medium
and cook for 25 minutes.
8. Turn off the heat and vent immediately.
Remove the basin using the handle. Run
a knife around the inside of the basin and
turn out on to a plate. Serve with double
cream or crème fraîche.

5Cleaning,StorageandMaintenance
5.1LookingafteryourPressureCooker
Your Tower Pressure Cooker is designed to
give you many years of trouble free cooking,
if properly cared for.
After every use, the pressure cooker should be
carefully cleaned and dried before putting away.
Please ensure that all the parts are put away
clean, dry and in a safe place ready for your next
cooking session.
For the best results and in order to keep your
stainless steel pressure condition in top condition,
the stainless steel surface can be polished using a
soft clean cloth and stainless steel cleaner to bring
the true shine back and to ensure that it is ready
for its next use.
Do not wash any part of the product in a
dishwasher. We recommend careful hand washing
only in order to prolong the lifespan of the product.
To avoid damaging the surface of the pressure
cooker, do not use implements or cleaning
materials made from metals, hard materials
or abrasives.
DO NOT store food inside the Pressure Cooker
when not in use.
To avoid damage to the seal, DO NOT store your
pressure cooker with the cover tted in place;
instead, place the cover upside down, with the
seal uppermost and store the pressure cooker in a
cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
5.2MaintainingtheSeal
After use, remove the seal from the cover and
check for any damage. If the seal is damaged
or has gone out of shape, it must be replaced
immediately. We recommend that the seal be
replaced every one or two years, depending upon
the amount of use. Do NOT use substitute parts
otherwise your Guarantee will be invalidated.
Wash the seal in hot water and detergent to
remove any debris from both the seal and the
groove in which it sits.
Dry the seal and replace it in the cover.
5.3MaintainingtheSafetyValveandPressure
LimitingValve
If the pressure limiting valve has become blocked
during the cooking process, the safety will
automatically work. Ensure the cooker is then
turned off immediately. Then open the cover and
clear the valve by rinsing it in water.
5.4Safetyopen-preventingvalve
switch clockwise safety valve with spanner,
dismantle and clean. If the pressure cooker has
not been used for a period of time, always check
the safety lock before use.
While in operation, NEVER remove the pressure
limiting valve, do not put any weight on it or use
anything else, other than the pressure limiting
valve supplied.
In order to ensure safety, NEVER use any other
sealing ring, other than the sealing ring supplied.
Do not lift the pressure limiting valve to lower the
pressure when cooking.
Whilst cooking, AVOID knocking the pressure
cooker as the contents are under pressure and
will damage the cooker. Should you experience
any problems, please take your pressure cooker
to the nearest service agent, or a suitably qualied
person.
5.5ChangingthebatteryintheTimer
Remove the new batteries from the packaging.
The side with battery model number on is the front
of the battery. Using a small coin, open the bottom
of the timer by turning the coin anti-clockwise.
Remove the old battery and carefully insert the
new battery, making sure that the front side is up.
Replace the lid and using the coin tighten it into
position. Press the blue button on the timer to
check if it is now working – you should see the
numbers “00”. Insert the timer into the slot in the
cover knob.
