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 fitted with a fuse of the same
rating already fitted and conforming to BS 1362
and be ASTA approved.
If in doubt consult a qualified electrician who
will be pleased to do this for you.
Non-Rewireable Mains Plug.
If your appliance is supplied with a non-
rewireable plug fitted 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 qualified 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.

Before First Use:
Read all instructions and safety information carefully before first use. Please retain this information
for future reference.
1. Remove the parts from the packaging.
2. Clean your kettle by going through several boiling cycles, using clean water with each
cycle and filling the kettle to its upper marking. The water will reach boiling point after
approximately 5 minutes. The kettle switches off automatically.
3. Discard the boiled water. Wait for the kettle to cool, then rinse it with cold water.
4. Your appliance is now ready for normal use.
5. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner.
Using Your Appliance
1. Fill the kettle using either the spout or lid. Open the lid by pressing the lid release button.
2. We recommend filling the kettle to at least the 0.5L capacity.
3. Check that the lid is closed correctly.
4. Ensure that the base unit and the base of your kettle are not wet.
5. Place the kettle onto the base unit and plug in.
6. Switch the kettle on by pressing down the ON/OFF switch located underneath the handle to
the On position.
7. A blue light will illuminate inside the kettle when it is turned on.
Note: The ON/OFF switch will also automatically return to the OFF position when it is finished
boiling.
Note: You can stop the boil process at any time by pushing the ON/OFF switch up to the off position.
Tips: Improve the quality of your drinks by always using fresh water.
Empty the kettle after each use.
Be economical and do not boil more water than you need.
8. Ensure the kettle is switched off before removing it from its base. DO NOT remove the kettle
from its base while it is in operation.
9. If you need to boil the kettle again, wait for a few seconds - allow the On/Off switch time to
reset. The delay should be no more than 20 seconds.
10. When you lift the kettle up from the base, you may see drops of water on the base. This is just
condensation from steam.
11. To avoid splashing or spilling, pour the kettle slowly and do not over-tilt it.
WARNING! Never remove the lid during boiling. If the water inside the kettle has just boiled, the
kettle will be full of steam. The steam will escape as soon as the lid is opened.
Boil Dry Protection:
• Your kettle will switch off automatically if you try to use it with too little water or if it is empty.
• If this happens, ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the off position, remove it from the base unit
and allow it to cool down before re-filling.
• Wait at least 15 minutes for the cut-out to reset before refilling with cold water and boiling.
Washable Filter:
• Your kettle is fitted with a removable filter. The filter helps to prevent lime-scale from getting
into your drink.
• The filter should be cleaned regularly, in particular if there are noticeable deposits left on it, or
if pouring is affected in any way.
• To clean the filter, rinse it under the tap.

Troubleshooting:
Questions Answers
Water is coming out of
the spout of the kettle. 1. Do not overfill the kettle. 2. Ensure you wait 10 seconds for the boiling water to settle before
pouring.
3. The kettle may still have de-scaling solutions inside. Follow the full
instructions of your de-scaling agent and make sure to rinse the
kettle thoroughly before use.
My kettle will not
switch off. 1. This may be due to a build-up of lime-scale – de-scale your kettle regularly.
2. The lid on your kettle may not be firmly shut. Push the lid down to
ensure a tight fit.
There are water
droplets on the base
unit – should I be
worried?
No. The water droplets are there due to condensation.
This is completely normal
My kettle will not
switch on. 1. You may not have enough water in your kettle, causing the boil dry
protection to activate. We recommend filling the kettle to at least
the 0.5L capacity mark.
2. Check that the kettle is properly connected to the power supply.
3. The element may be broken. Contact The Tower Customer Support

Cleaning & Care:
Cleaning The Outside And Base Unit:
1. Remove the plug from the mains socket and allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
2. Do not immerse the base unit, kettle or plug/power cord in water or any other liquid.
3. Clean the base unit and outside of the appliance by wiping it with a damp cloth. A little
detergent can be added if needed.
4. Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, any form of strong solvents or abrasive cleaning agents to
clean the appliance, as they may damage the outside surfaces.
IMPORTANT! Failure to de-scale your kettle may invalidate your guarantee.
If you do not de-scale your kettle regularly, the build-up of lime-scale may result in the following:
• The kettle taking longer to boil.
• Damage to the heating element.
• The safety cut out may operate prematurely, switching the kettle off before the water has
boiled.
De-Scaling:
Note: Should the appliance switch OFF before reaching boiling point this is a sign that de-scaling is
necessary.
• Any regular de-scaling agent may be used, provided the relevant instructions are observed.
To avoid spillage, take care not to overfill the kettle if the de-scaling agent causes the water to
foam.
• To clean the kettle thoroughly of any de-calcification residue; let it go through several boiling
cycles using clean water with each cycle. Rinse the kettle with clean water afterwards.
• It is advisable to remove lime-scale deposits from the kettle at regular intervals.
Removing Lime-scale Build-up:
If using a kettle cleaning solution make sure to follow the instructions.
Natural Cleaning Method for Lime-scale Removal:
• Fill the kettle with equal parts water and vinegar (white wine vinegar, cider vinegar or lemon
juice work particularly well). Allow the kettle to boil (pay attention that the contents do not boil
over) and let it stand for 30-40 minutes.
• When finished empty the kettle and rinse it with water.
• The kettle should now be free from lime-scale and ready to be used again.
