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. Place your Grill on a clean, at surface.
2. Set the temperature control to your desired setting.
3. Connect the appliance to the electrical supply. Make sure that the plug is connected
properly. The ready and power indicator lights will illuminate, indicating that the Health
Grill has begun heating.
4. When the Health Grill has reached the correct temperature for cooking, the ready
indicator light will go off. It will take approximately 5 minutes to preheat. During this
time, prepare the foods to be cooked.
5. Open the Health Grill and place your Panini on the bottom cooking plate.
6. Close the Health Grill. Close the top cooking plate. The top cooking plate has a oating
hinge that is designed to evenly press down on food. The top plate must be fully
lowered to achieve grill marks on the selected foods. The ready indicator light will come
on again.
7. Cook between 5 to 8 minutes, until the ready light turns off or the bread is golden
brown. It is recommended to check throughout so that you adjust the time to your own
taste.
8. Open the Health Grill using the handle.
9. When the food is grilled, use the handle to open the grill and raise the top cooking
plate. Remove food with the help of a heat resistant spatula. Never use metal tongs or a
knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating.
Using as an open Grill:
1. Place your Health Grill on a clean, at surface.
2. With your one hand on the handle, use your other hand to slide the hinge release lever
toward you. Push the handle back until you have opened the Health Grill fully and the
upper and lower plates line up to create one large cooking surface.
3. Set the temperature control to your desired setting.
4. Connect the appliance to the electrical supply. Make sure that the plug is connected
properly. The ready and power indicator lights will illuminate, indicating that the Health
Grill has begun heating.
5. When the Health Grill has reached the correct temperature for cooking, the ready
indicator light will go off. It will take approximately 5 minutes to preheat. During this
time, prepare the foods to be cooked.
6. Use the Health Grill as an open grill to cook meat, sh and vegetables. The two large
cooking plates enable you to cook meat and vegetables at the same time. Check the
Grilling Guide for recommended cooking times.
7. When the food is grilled, remove with the help of a heat resistant spatula. Never use
metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating

Grilling Guide :
Contact grilling is a healthy and efcient way to cook. The cooking times are approximate
due to variances in ingredient thickness. It is not recommended to cook items with thick
bones such as T-bone steaks.
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.
Ingredients Type Cooking time
Beef Sirloin steak Medium Rare: 3 minutes - Well Done:5-6 minutes
Minute steak 1–2 minutes
Hamburger patties 4–6 minutes
Scotch llet 4–6 minutes
Pork Rib eye steak 4–6 minutes
Loin steaks 4–6 minutes
Fillet 4–6 minutes
Lamb Loin 3 minutes

Grilling Tips:
There is an art to determining when your steak, lamb chop or cutlet is cooked to the correct
degree of doneness - rare, medium rare, medium, medium well or well done - but it is easily
mastered with these handy hints and tips.
Rare:
Cook for a few minutes per side, depending on thickness. Turn once only. Cook until steak
feels very soft with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of
a rare steak as 55-60°C / 130-140°F.
Medium rare:
Cook on one side until moisture is just visible on top surface. Turn once only. Cook on the
other side until surface moisture is visible. Steak will be cooked to medium rare when it feels
soft with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium
rare steak as 60-65°C / 140-150°F.
Medium:
Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn once only. Cook on second
side until moisture is visible. Steak will be cooked to medium when it feels springy with back
of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium steak as 65-
70°C / 150-160°F.
Medium well:
Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn and cook on second side
until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly and continue to cook until steak feels
rm with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium
well steak as 70-75°C / 160-170°F.
Well done:
Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn and cook on second side
until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly and continue to cook until steak feels
very rm with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a well
done steak as 75°C / 170°F.
Hints for Best Results for Toasting Sandwiches:
Bread
The grill is ideal for toasting most types of bread (white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat,
wholegrain etc), as well as artisan breads (Focaccia, Turkish bread, baguettes, bread rolls
etc.). Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads which contain high sugar content will tend
to brown quicker.
Fillings
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when heated.
Be careful when biting into paninis and sandwiches containing llings such as cheese
and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.
Toasting Bread
The panini grill is ideal for toasting plain breads and Turkish bread, without any llings or
spreads. Try toasting Turkish bread with jams for a great alternative to standard breads at
breakfast.

12
Fat Free Snacks
Due to the non-stick cooking plates, it is not necessary to use any butter or margarine on the
outside of your toasted snacks.
Grilling Vegetables:
• Vegetables can be cooked on skewers, or straight on to the grill. If you are using
bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them in water rst. Wash and dry vegetables that you
wish to use.
• Vegetables such as mushrooms and asparagus can be cooked whole on the grill pan.
• Grill vegetables until they are tender and lightly charred all over.
• Parboil potatoes, carrots and beets before grilling. Dry them off and brush with oil, then
grill.
• Vegetables such as Zucchini and Aubergine need to be brushed lightly with oil before
grilling. Bell peppers don’t require any oil.
To cook prawns:
• Toss peeled prawn/pawns 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 Health 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.

Questions Answers
What do I do if food
gets stuck to the
cooking plates?
If food gets stuck to the cooking plates do not use metal utensils, as this
can damage the non-stick cooking surface. Gently remove the food using
wooden or heat resistant utensils instead.
Does it need
preheating?
Yes. Always preheat the Health Grill for best results. Preheat with the lid
closed for approximately 5 minutes.
Do I need to use oil
when cooking?
Some non-fatty meats and veg may require the addition of a small amount
of oil to assist the non-stick surface.
Why are my sandwich
llings spilling over
during cooking?
You may have added too many llings to your sandwiches. Ensure that no
llings are ‘overowing’ when you add the sandwich to the Health Grill.
Fillings such as cheese and jam reach very high temperatures when heated
and can spill over.
Do the indicator lights
show when my food is
done?
No. The indicator lights only indicate power, and that the sandwich maker
has reached the correct temperature. Ensure you do not leave the Health
Grill unattended during use.
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.
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.

• Before cleaning, switch the product off and remove the power plug from the power outlet.
• Allow your Health Grill to cool before cleaning. The grill is easier to clean when slightly
warm. Always clean your Health Grill after each use to prevent a build-up of baked-on
foods. Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth to remove food residue.
• For baked on food residue squeeze some warm water mixed with detergent over the
food residue then clean with a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad.
IMPORTANT:
• Allow to dry fully after cleaning before using again.
• Do not use the appliance if damp. Ensure the appliance is completely clean and dry
before storing.
Durable Non-stick Coating
• Cooking on a non-stick surface minimizes the need for oil, food does not stick and cleaning
is easier. Any discolouration that may occur will only detract from the appearance of the
grill and will not affect the cooking performance. When cleaning the non-stick coating,
do not use metal (or other abrasive) scourers. Wash with warm soapy water. Remove
stubborn residue with a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon washing brush.
To store your appliance:
• Unplug power cord from the power outlet.
• Allow the grill to fully cool.
• Close the Health Grill so that the top and bottom cooking plates are together and push
down the locking mechanism at the side of the grill to lock together.
• Store the drip tray together with the grill.
• Wrap the power cord in the cord storage area below the grill.
• Store on a at, dry level surface.
