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. Clean your kettle by going through several boiling cycles, using clean water
with each cycle and lling the kettle to its upper marking. The water will
reach boiling point after approximately 5 minutes. The kettle switches off
automatically.
3. Discard the boiled water. Wait for the kettle to cool, then rinse it with cold
water.
4. Your appliance is now ready for normal use.
5. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner.
1. Fill the kettle using either the spout or lid. Open the lid by grasping the handle
and pulling it rmly upwards, away from the main body of the kettle.
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 it in.
6. Switch the kettle on by pushing the On/Off switch located underneath the
handle to the On position. The indicator light inside the switch will illuminate
to indicate the kettle is turned on.
Note: The ON/OFF switch will also automatically return to the OFF position when
it is nished boiling.
Note: You can stop the boiling process at any time by pushing the ON/OFF switch
up to the off position.
7. Your kettle will begin to boil and will switch off automatically when it is done.
The On/Off switch will also automatically return to the Off position and the blue
indicator light will turn off to indicate the boiling cycle is complete.
8. Wait for a few seconds after a boil is complete before boiling the kettle again,
to allow the On/Off switch time to reset. The delay should be no more than 30
seconds.
9. When you lift the kettle up from the base, you may see drops of water on the
base. This is just condensation from steam, and will not affect the performance
of the kettle.
10. To avoid splashing or spilling, pour the kettle slowly and do not over-tilt it.
WARNING! NEVER REMOVE THE LID DURING BOILING.
IF THE WATER INSIDE THE KETTLE HAS JUST BOILED, THE KETTLE WILL BE FULL
OF STEAM. THE STEAM WILL ESCAPE AS SOON AS THE LID IS OPENED.
Tips: Improve the quality of your drinks by always using fresh water.
Empty the kettle after each use.
Be economical and efcient 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 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-lling.
• Wait at least 15 minutes for the cut-out to reset before relling with cold water
and boiling.
CAUTION! DO NOT switch the kettle on unless it contains at least one cup of
water to avoid damaging the appliance and shortening its lifespan.
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.

Cleaning The Outside and Base Unit:
1. Remove the 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 will invalidate your guarantee.
If you do not de-scale your kettle regularly, the build-up of limescale 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.
• Use ltered water instead of tap water to help reduce limescale build up.
How To De-Scale:
Note: Should the appliance switch OFF before reaching boiling point this is a sign
that de-scaling is necessary.
• Any regular de-scaling agent may be used, provided the relevant instructions
are observed. To avoid spillage, DO NOT ll the kettle to the upper mark if the
de-scaling agent causes the water to foam.
• To clean the kettle thoroughly of any de-calcication residue; let it go through
several boiling cycles using clean water with each cycle. Rinse the kettle with
clean water afterwards.
• It is advisable to remove limescale deposits from the kettle at regular intervals.
Removing Limescale Build-up:
If using a kettle cleaning solution make sure to follow the instructions.
Natural Cleaning Method for Limescale Removal:
• Fill the kettle with equal parts water and vinegar (white wine vinegar, cider
vinegar or lemon juice work particularly well). Allow the kettle to boil (take care
to ensure the contents do not boil over) and let it stand for 30-40 minutes.
• When the standing time has elapsed. empty the kettle and rinse it with water.
• The kettle should now be free from limescale and ready to be used again.
