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.

time to reset.

you may see drops of water on the base.
This is just condensation from steam.

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

allow it to cool down before re-lling.
Washable Filter:
Your kettle is tted with a lter. The lter helps to
prevent limescale from getting into your drink.
The lter should be cleaned regularly, in particular
if there are noticeable deposits left on it, or
if pouring is affected in anyway. To clean the
lter, remove it from the kettle and rinse it under
the tap. You can also drop the lter in when
descaling your kettle. Rinse the lter thoroughly
before tting it back into the kettle.

De-scaling
Important: Failure to de-scale your kettle may

switching the kettle off before the water has
boiled.

overnight.
Using ltered water instead of tap water will help
to reduce limescale build up.
How to de-scale:
Any regular de-scaling agent may be used,
provided the relevant instructions are observed.
Do not ll the kettle to the upper mark to avoid
spillage if the de-scaling agent causes the water

boiling cycles using clean water.
