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.

Corded/Cordless Ironing:
When ironing cordlessly, place the iron onto its base in-between items.

handle and fit it smoothly into the slots. Once placed onto the base, the iron
will begin to heat up to your selected setting.

heating. It only takes a few seconds for the iron to heat in between each use.
3. When ironing with the base attached, make sure the iron is locked to the
base. To do this, slide the locking tab to the locked padlock position. To unlock
simply reverse the procedure. Take extra care when locking and unlocking the
iron while it is still hot.

Caution! Before filling the tank with water make sure the appliance is unplugged
1. Remove the iron from the charging base before filling or emptying it. Set the

water into the water tank to the maximum level.
3. Fill the iron with normal tap water when using it for the first time.

Textile Chart:
Ironing tips:
• When ironing a garment that consists of multiple fibre types it is
recommended to use the lowest heat setting.
• Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one
direction with light pressure applied.
• Always keep the iron moving to prevent overheating of the fabrics.
• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set to the steam
position.
• To prevent staining, do not spray water straight on silk or other delicate fabrics.

6 - Troubleshooting
Questions Answers
The appliance does
not produce any
steam.
Fill the water tank to above the MIN line. Press and hold the steam
trigger until steam comes out. It may take up to 30 seconds until
steam comes out.
Press the steam trigger and keep it pressed when you iron.
The iron leaves a
shine or an imprint
on the garment.
The surface to be ironed was uneven, for instance because you were
ironing over a seam or a fold in the garment.
The ironing board
cover becomes wet
or water droplets
come out of the
soleplate.
Steam has condensed on the ironing board cover after a long
ironing session.
There is too much
steam coming out of
the iron.
The default setting of the iron represents the optimal temperature.
In this setting, the iron gives off a high steam output.
DISPOSAL OF THE UNIT
Appliances bearing the symbol shown here may not be disposed of in domestic
rubbish. You are required to dispose of old electrical and electronic appliances like
this separately.

information about the recycling of electrical items.
Please visit www.weeeireland.ie for access to information about the recycling of
electrical items purchased in Ireland.

7 - Recycling

12
After ironing:
1. Disconnect the iron from the power supply and empty out any water left in the
water tank.
2. Reconnect the iron into the power supply and disconnect it again after the
indicator light goes out. This helps dry out the soleplate.
3. Let the iron completely cool down, and then wipe flakes and any other
deposits on the soleplate with a damp cloth or a nonabrasive (liquid) cleaner.
Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth. Store the emptied iron
horizontally on a stable surface with a cloth protecting the soleplate.
4. When not in use, store the appliance in a safe, dry place, out of reach of
children.
Self-cleaning:
1. Set the temperature control to the maximum position, then press the self-
clean button for about 1 minute. Steam will emit from within the iron to clean
the steam compartment. We recommend using the self-cleaning function
approximately once every two weeks.
Anti-calc:
1. The anti-calc function filters certain minerals from the water to prevent lime-
scale residue from building up inside the steam compartment. However if you
live in a particularly hard water area, we recommend using bottled or distilled
water.
WARNING: never pour vinegar or other liquid cleaners for eliminating calcium into
water tank.
8 - Cleaning & Care
WARNING:
Do not immerse any electrical part of the appliance in water
such as motor units or plugs.
Please see cleaning section for further instructions.

9 - Wiring Safety for UK Use Only
IMPORTANT
As the colours in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, please proceed as follows:
The wires in the mains lead are labelled in
accordance with the following code:
Blue neutral [N] Brown live [L]
Green/Yellow [EARTH]
Plug Fitting Details (Where Applicable). The
wire labelled blue is the neutral and must be
connected to the terminal marked [N].
The wire labelled brown is the live wire and
must be connected to the terminal marked
[L].
The wire labelled green/yellow must be
connected to the terminal marked with the
letter [E].
On no account must either the brown or
the blue wire be connected to the [EARTH]
terminal.
Always ensure that the cord grip is fastened
correctly.
The plug must be tted with a fuse of the
same rating already tted and conforming to
BS 1362 and be ASTA approved.
If in doubt consult a qualied electrician who
will be pleased to do this for you.
Non-Rewireable Mains Plug
If your appliance is supplied with a non-
rewireable plug tted to the mains lead and
should the fuse need replacing, you must
use an ASTA approved one (conforming to
BS 1362 of the same rating).
If in doubt, consult a qualied electrician
who will be pleased to do this for you.
If you need to remove the plug - disconnect
it from the mains - then cut it off of the mains
lead and immediately dispose of it in a safe
manner. Never attempt to reuse the plug
or insert it into a socket outlet as there is a
danger of an electric shock.
