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. 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 will
switch off automatically.
3. Discard the boiled water and wait for the kettle to cool. Then rinse the kettle
with cold water.
4. Your appliance is now ready for normal use.
5. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner
1. Place the cordless base on a firm and level surface.

5. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ‘I’ position to start the heating process. After
this the indicator lamp will light up.

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.
• You can also drop the filter in when descaling your kettle. Rinse the filter
thoroughly before fitting it back into the kettle.
6 - Troubleshooting

of the spout of the
kettle.
1. Only fill the kettle to the max fill line.

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?

1. You may not have enough water in your kettle, causing the boil
dry protection to activate. Make sure the water surpasses the
min fill line.
2. Check that the kettle is properly connected to the power
supply.
3. The element may be broken. Contact The Tower Customer
Support Team on: [phone].

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, 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; 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 filtered 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 fill 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-calcification residues let it go through
several boiling cycles using clean water.
