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.

6 - Troubleshooting
Questions Answers
The sauté pan will
not turn on.
Make sure the temperature regulator is fully inserted and the appli-
ance is plugged into the mains. If it is plugged in, check to see if the
temperature regulator dial is turned to at least the low-heat setting
to begin pre-heating the appliance.
How will I know
when the pan is
finished preheating?
An indicator lamp on the sauté pan will light up indicating that it is
ready to cook food.
Can I wash the pan
in the dishwasher?
Some non-fatty meats and veg may require the addition of a small
amount of oil to assist the non-stick surface.
Does the indicator
light show when my
food is done?
No, the sauté pan is NOT dishwasher is not safe. DO NOT put it in
the dishwasher or immerse it in water. Please refer to the Cleaning
and Care instructions on how to properly clean the appliance.
What kind of
cooking oil can I use
in the sauté pan?
Please refer to the Cooking Tips section for more information.
Cooking Tips
1. Make sure all of your ingredients are chopped/sliced/diced to similar sizes.
This helps everything cook at the same rate.
2. Choose cooking oil that can handle the high temperature of the pan.
Groundnut oil or vegetable oil can reach much higher temperatures.
Traditionally peanut oil is used for stir fry dishes.
3. Make sure you do not over fill the pan. When stir frying food, try making two
portions at a time so nothing is overcooked and everything has that great stir
fried taste.
4. Serve stir fried foods immediately to retain their crisp texture and taste.
5. When making fried rice, try using ‘overnight’ rice. Cook your rice the night
before. Spread the rice out on a tray and leave overnight. If you don’t have time
to cook and then leave the rice overnight, you can put it in the freezer for half
an hour before using it to make fried rice.
6. Add oil gradually, rather than pouring it all in at once.
