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.

4 - Before First Use

9
1. Fill the kettle using either the spout or lid.
2. The water level must be between the MAX and MIN ll lines.
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 pushing the On/Off switch to the ‘On’ position.
7. Your kettle will begin to boil and will switch off automatically when it is done. The On/Off
switch will automatically move into the ‘Off’ position when done.
8. The kettle can be switched off manually by putting the On/Off switch to ‘Off’.
9. If you need to boil the kettle again, wait for a few seconds - allow the On/Off switch time
to reset.
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.
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.
Boil Dry Protection:
• Your kettle will switch off automatically if you try to use it with too little water.
• 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-lling.
Washable Filter:
• Your kettle is tted with a lter. The lter helps to prevent lime-scale 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 de-scaling your kettle.
• Rinse the lter thoroughly before tting it back into the kettle.

the spout of the kettle.
1. Only ll the kettle to the max ll line.

pouring.
3. The kettle may still have de-scaling solutions inside. Follow the full

regularly.

ensure a tight t.

droplets on the base
unit – should I be
worried?

Cleaning The Outside And Base Unit:
1. Remove plug from the mains socket and allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
2. Do not immerse the base unit of the appliance in water.
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; they may damage the outside surfaces of the appliance.
De-Scaling:
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.
To Minimise Scale Build-Up:
• Empty the kettle of water after each use.
• Do not allow water to stand in the kettle overnight.
• Using ltered water instead of tap water will help to reduce lime-scale 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 to foam.
• To clean the kettle thoroughly of any de-calcication residues let it go through several
boiling cycles using clean water.
