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.

1. Remove the parts from the packaging.
2. Check the voltage requirement of the country that you are in, then select the
correct voltage from the under side of the base.
3. Prior to initial use, 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.
4. Discard the boiled water and wait for the kettle to cool. Then rinse the kettle
with cold water.
5. Your appliance is now ready for normal use.
6. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner
1. Fill the kettle using either the spout or lid.
2. The water level must be between the MAX and MIN fill 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 ‘I’ position.
7. Your kettle will begin to boil and will switch off automatically when it is done.
8. The ON/OFF switch will automatically move into the ‘0’ position when done.

10. If you need to boil the kettle again, wait for a few seconds - allow the ON/OFF
switch time to reset.
11. When you lift the kettle up from the base, you may see drops of water on the
base. This is just condensation from steam.

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.
Note: Do not switch the kettle on unless it contains at least one cup of water.
Misuse of this kind can shorten the lifespan of the kettle.
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 lightly brush away anything blocking the mesh.
