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.
A Traditional Taste
With the Tower Dual Deep Fryer, you can bring the
taste everyone loves right into your own kitchen.
Unlike water-based cooking (boiling, steaming,
etc.), when you fry food, you are using dry heat.
Frying uses a means of heat transfer that mixes
both conduction and convection. An age old
cooking tradition, experts believe that frying
originated from the Middle East. With foods such
as Falafel cooking to perfection when fried, this is
no surprise. Home cooked fried chips will transport
you back to a nostalgic time of full flavours and
delicious crispy food.
The Tower Dual Deep Fryer brings traditional frying
into the 21st century. With a ‘Ready’ indicator
light that lets you know when your oil has reached
the right temperature, you’re destined to get the
perfect taste from your food.

3USINGYOURAPPLIANCE
Note: Assemble the frying basket handles and
ensure they are secure correctly before use.
1. Fit each element and control panel into
place. The elements slot into place in the oil
tanks and are exposed in the oil.
2. Fill the oil tanks to the appropriate level.
The oil tanks are clearly marked with the
Minimum and Maximum oil levels; do not
attempt to fry with less than the minimum
level as this could cause damage and
overheating to the unit.
3. Do not over ll the oil tanks as this could
cause the oil to spill when the food is
placed in the tank to cook.
4. Turn the temperature controls to the ‘Min’
position and plug into the mains power
supply socket and switch on the socket.
5. Caution: Do not plug both elements into the
same power socket using a plug adaptor.
6. Turn the temperature controls clockwise to
the required temperature and the red power
light and green ready light will illuminate.
This indicates that the unit is now on and
heating the oil.
7. Allow the oil to reach the required
temperature before placing any food in
the oil. This is indicated by the ready light,
which will go out when the oil has reached
the required temperature.
PowerandReadylights:
The red power indicators will stay on during use.
The green ready light will cycle on and off as
the thermostat cycles to maintain the correct
temperature.
TemperatureControlDials:
Each fryer functions independently. There is a
temperature dial on each control panel, allowing
you to cook two different foods at once, at
different temperatures. Each fryer has power and
heating indicator lights, so you know when each
has reached the correct temperature.
The temperature control dials allow the
temperature to be set to the type of food that
you are cooking. The temperature ranges that
can be achieved are 130°C to 190°C for perfect
results every time.
Note: Never use the temperature control dial to
switch the appliance off. Always switch off at the
wall socket and unplug.
Removablehandles:
To assemble the frying basket handles, squeeze
the metal rods of the handles together and
position each end within the slots of the holder
in the basket. With these in place, work the rods
into the vertical grips to secure the handle in
place.
Simply reverse this procedure to remove this
handle for cleaning and storage.
Viewingwindows:
Coat the inner face of the viewing windows
with oil to prevent condensation forming and to
enable cooking process to be checked.

CookingwithyourDualDeepFryer:
Note: The power light will remain on when in use.
1. Before frying, make sure you pat dry any
wet or frozen foods.
2. Place the food in the frying basket. Do not
overload the basket as this will substantially
lower the oil temperature.
3. Once the oil has reached the correct
temperature and the ready light has turned
off, slowly lower the fry basket into the oil.
4. The lid can be placed on the fryer during
use except when cooking high moisture
foods such as chips and frozen foods.
When the liquid has boiled off place the lid
down.
5. When the food is ready, remove the lid (if
it has been used) using the handle, lift the
basket up slowly out of the oil.
6. After the excess oil has drained, place the
food on a paper towel lined baking sheet to
allow any remaining oil to drain away.
7. If you are frying more than one load in
each basket, ensure the oil re-heats to the
required temperature.
Referencemenu:
The frying time given in the chart is only for
reference. Always check food is thoroughly
cooked before eating.
Food type Temp
(°C)
Weight
(G)
Time
(minutes)
Whole shrimp 130 200 3-5
Mushrooms 150 300 4-6
Fillets 150 300 5-7
Crumbed
chicken 170 250 12-14
Fish cakes 170 300 3-5
Onions 190 350 2-4
French fries 190 400 8-10
Potato chips 190 400 3-6
TIPS:
• Certain vegetables, such as potatoes
will not require a coating as they form a
natural skin around themselves. However,
most meat and sh will require a batter or
breading.
• Gently lower food into the oil.
• Don’t overll the fryer. It’s better to fry in
batches.
• Take into account the type of food you
are cooking when selecting a frying
temperature. Generally, pre-cooked food
will require a higher temperature and less
cooking time than raw food.
• CAUTION: Certain foods may begin to turn
golden brown before they are fully cooked.
• Always check the food is fully cooked
before serving.

Oil:
• Always start with clean oil. To keep your oil
clean, strain out any food remnants after
use, and replace the oil completely after
8 - 10 uses.
• Suitable oils to use in your fryer include
vegetable, sunower, sesame, groundnut,
corn, soy, hazelnut and rapeseed.
• Peanut oil, safower oil, sunower oil and
canola oil are the best choices as they have
‘high smoke points’. This means they don’t
break down at deep frying temperatures.
• If you use the same oil for frying repeatedly,
the temperature at which the smoke point
occurs is lowered. This happens less in
rapeseed and sunower oils.
• Avoid using olive oil, butter or margarine in
your fryer as they are unsuitable for cooking
at such high temperatures.
• Different oils have different tastes to them.
• Canola oil tastes fairly neutral, hazelnut oil
has a distinctive taste, light sesame oil has
a nutty avour which is especially good for
frying, and rapeseed oil is a popular choice
with a light and delicate taste. Peanut oil
doesn’t absorb or transfer avours, making
it good for cooking – however, its smoking
point is lower than that of corn or safower
oil.
• Almond, avocado and cottonseed oil are
also great to fry with, although they are
harder to nd and more expensive.
• Rapeseed oil is also a healthy choice as
it has less unhealthy saturated fat than all
other cooking oils, along with being a rich
source in vitamin E.
• Change the oil in your fryer after every 8 –
10 uses. When you do change the oil, never
pour it down the drain. Dispose of it safely
according to the guidelines of your local
council.
• Do not attempt to empty or change the oil
when the machine or oil is still hot. Allow to
cool completely before cleaning or moving.
When the oil is cool, remove the oil tank
and tip and pour to empty.
