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 aord 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.

3USINGYOURAPPLIANCE
Beforerstuse:
• Remove all packaging materials and any
promotional labels or stickers from your
Reversible Grill.
• Before using your Reversible Grill for the
rst time, wipe the sides and temperature
control with a damp cloth.
• Thoroughly clean both sides of the
reversible plate as well as the drip tray.
• The grill/griddle plate can be submerged
in water or placed in the dishwasher for
cleaning.
• Never submerge the housing in water.
Always use a damp cloth to clean.
Assembly:
1. Place base on a clean, at surface where
you intend to cook.
2. Decide which way you are going to place
the grill/griddle plate on to the base.
3. If the thermostat is on the left of the base,
place your grill/griddle plate so that the
drip holes are on the right of the base.
4. Noting where the holes on the plate are,
lift the plate and place the drip tray into the
base tting it on the side corresponding
with the holes on the plate. (i.e. if the
thermostat is on the left of the base, the
drip tray will be t on the right of the base).
5. The drip tray can t into
either the right or left
on the base, with the
handle of the tray facing
inwards. The drip tray
must be placed below
the holes on the plate so
that it can collect the grease.
6. Once the tray has been t, place the plate
back on to the base.
7. Insert the thermostat into the grill.
8. Plug the cord into the standard electrical
outlet. You are now ready to begin
cooking.
Usingyourappliance
1. The grill/griddle plate has two sides, one
with a ribbed surface and one with a at
surface.
2. The ribbed surface is designed for grilling
meat, seafood and vegetables.
3. The at surface is perfect for frying bacon,
egg, pancakes and sandwiches.
4. Select the side you require for your
cooking and place the plate on the base,
with the desired cooking surface face up.
Make sure the plate is placed on the base
correctly.
5. Once the Reversible Grill is assembled
properly and you are ready to begin
cooking, turn the temperature control dial
to the desired temperature setting.
6. The indicator light on the top of the
thermostat will illuminate to indicate that
the thermostat is operating. It may take
11-15 minutes for the grill/griddle plate to
reach operating temperature, depending
on the temperature level that has been set.
7. The temperature control dial on the
thermostat is used to set and maintain the
temperature of the cooking surface.
8. You can vary the setting of the
temperature control dial at any time
during cooking, and may wish to do so
depending on the types of foods on the
grill/griddle plate.

CAUTION: Handles will become hot during use.
Always use a pot holder when touching any
part of the unit when cooking.
9. The grill/griddle plate should not be
removed from the supporter or ipped
over while hot. Allow unit to cool down for
at least 30 minutes before handling.
NOTE: The rst time you use your Reversible
Grill, it may have a slight odour and smoke a
bit. This is normal and common to appliances
with non-stick surface.
Reversiblegrill/griddleplates:
1. Turn temperature control dial to “I” setting.
2. Unplug the appliance from wall outlet.
3. Allow unit to cool down completely. (at

6. Return the grill/griddle to the unit with the
desired surface facing up.
7. Reconnect the plug into a standard
electrical outlet.
Tips:
Lightly toast your hot dog or burger buns on
the grill for two minutes before cooking has
nished.
Cut the rolls in half and spread melted butter on
them, then place them on the grill.
Brush any oil you use directly onto the food, not
the pan.
The grill pan can be lined with parchment paper
to cook sh if desired.
Make sure the griddle is hot before placing any
food on it.
If you want to create the nice criss-cross eect
on your griddled food, turn the food 90 degrees
halfway through cooking on each side.
When grilling sh, use a large at spatula to turn
it over.

Cookingwithyourreversiblegrill:
Meatonthereversiblegrill:
Cut meat into 1 inch cubes for kebabs.
Tender meat cuts, like sirloin, are generally
more suitable for grilling than less tender meat
cuts, such as rump. Less tender meat cuts can
still be grilled, but may benet from marinating
beforehand.
Take steaks out of the fridge at least 60 minutes
before grilling so that they can reach room
temperature.
Cookingsteak:
Rub sea salt on each side of the steak to be
cooked. For medium –rare steak, cook it for
a few minutes per side and then use tongs to
sear the perimeter.
Brush the steaks with melted butter, and ip
them over letting them sear for another few
minutes. Repeat on the other side.
Let the steaks rest for 4 – 5 minutes and
sprinkle pepper on top.
See the table on the next page for suggested
cooking times for cooking meat on the grill, on
a medium – high heat.
Fish Thickness Approximate cooking
times (turn once)
Whole 10 – 20 minutes
Fillets 3/4 inches 7 – 9 minutes
Steaks 1 inch 9 – 10 minutes
Raw king
prawns 2 – 4 minutes
NOTE: These times are approximate. Times
can vary depending on the size, thickness and
quantity of the recipe. Adjusting the temperature
will also change the cooking times.
Seafoodonthereversiblegrill:
To cook prawns:
Toss peeled prawns with a mixture of baking
soda and salt and let them rest for at least
fteen minutes.
Slide your prawns onto skewers so that they
are tightly packed together, with no space
between each prawn.
This helps the prawns to brown on the outside
without going rubbery inside.
If you are using bamboo skewers, be sure to
soak them in water rst.
Dry the prawns before cooking them, either
by blotting them with paper towels, or placing
the skewers in the fridge for an hour before
cooking, laying the skewers over the edge of
a baking dish or bowl, so that they are fully
elevated.
Brush the prawns with olive oil when you are
ready to cook.
Turn the Reversible grill up to the highest heat
and cook them on the grill for 6 - 8 minutes or
until they are browned, turning them every few
minutes.
Serve with a squeeze of lemon and salt.
See below table for suggested cooking times
for cooking sh on the grill, on a medium – high
heat:

Grill vegetables until they are tender and lightly
charred all over.
Parboil potatoes, carrots and beets before
grilling. Dry them o and brush with oil, then

5TROUBLESHOOTING&FAQ’S
Questions Answers
Do I need to use oil
when cooking?
Some non-fatty meats and vegetables may require the addition of a small
amount of oil, to assist the non-stick surface.
Do I need to place
my food in the middle
of the grill for it to
cook?
No, the grill plate is heated consistently along its length, so you don’t need
to worry about some food getting more heat than others.
My frozen chicken
breasts are still
pink inside but look
cooked outside.
To make sure that meats and poultry are safely cooked through, be sure to
thaw them before grilling.
My grill is not getting
hot.
Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a suitable outlet.
Check that the thermostat has is set and the temperature light is on.
There is smoke
escaping from my
grill.
