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.

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.
Filter:
• Your kettle is fitted with a 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 anyway.
• To clean the filter, rinse it under the tap.
