1912 Midland Metal Spinners was founded by
George Cadman, who was then 65 years old, as
a metal holloware manufacturing company, in St.
Mark’s Street, Wolverhampton. They later moved
into the Tower and Fort Works in Pelham Street,
which ultimately gave rise to the famous Tower
brand name.
1937 Tower exhibited some of their latest holloware
designs at the British Industries Fair. As you can
see from the original poster, their stand No. A410
must have been a great sight as it promoted their
“Beautiful, inexpensive, untarnishable Plate, at
prices all can afford to pay”.
1961 Tower became one of the largest
manufacturers of aluminium holloware, electric
kettles, tea pots and other household articles with
over 1,000 employees.
1974 Russell Hobbs took ownership of the
expanding Tower brand.

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.

in.

a few seconds - allow the on/off switch
time to reset.
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.
10. 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.

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 limescale 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.

5CLEANING&CARE
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 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.
Using ltered water instead of tap water will help
to reduce limescale 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.
