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.

HOT OIL, WATER OR STEAM - RISK OF BURNS!
Make sure the power cable is clear of the edge of the work surface.
The glass lid and cooking bowl get very hot when the multi-cooker is in use.
Be careful not to burn yourself. Wear oven gloves if necessary when removing the
lid and be careful of escaping steam.
Allow the stock or oil to cool down enough that you do not risk burning
yourself as you pour it out of the cooking bowl.

9
NOTE: The coating of the cooking bowl is very delicate. To remove food, use only a
non metalic foam spoon or other heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensils. Utensils
made of metal, ceramics, etc. can damage the coating on the cooking bowl.
1. Clean the multi-cooker and all its accessories. Then ensure that all parts are
completely dry.
2. Place the heater unit on an even, non-slip and dry surface. Do not connect the
power cable plug to the mains socket yet!
3. Place the cooking bowl into the heater unit. To do this, align the cooking bowl
so that the contacts on the bottom can be pushed into the socket on the
heater unit. Carefully push the cooking bowl down so it is seated firmly on the
heater unit.
4. Fill the cooking bowl with water to the MAX mark.
5. Place the glass lid on the cooking bowl.
6. Make sure that the temperature controller is in the “0” position.
7. Connect the power cable plug to a live mains socket. The green “Heating off”
indicator then comes on.
8. Turn the control dial to the “3” position. The device then begins to heat up. The
green “Heating off” indicator goes out and the red heating indicator comes on.
9. Allow the water to boil for 10 minutes. You can then move the temperature
controller back to the ‘0’ position to switch the device off.
10. Disconnect the power cable plug from the mains socket.
11. Once the device has cooled down completely, clean it again. It is then ready to
use.
Assembling and Setting Up the Multi-Cooker:
WARNING! Only use the device in dry, enclosed spaces. Never use it outdoors. Place
the multi-cooker on an even, stable and heat-resistant surface only. If the multi-
cooker is not placed on an even surface, the movement of the boiling contents
could make it tip over, possibly causing damage to property and burns.
Maintain a clearance of at least 20 cm around the device. This will help prevent
damage caused by escaping steam.
RISK OF FIRE! Do not place the device on textile surfaces such as tablecloths. Do
not place the device on metal surfaces. These can heat up quickly and cause a fire.
Do not place the device under or directly next to flammable objects e.g. curtains or
blinds.
1. Place the heater unit on an even, non-slip and dry surface. Do not connect the
power cable plug to the mains socket yet!
2. Place the cooking bowl into the heater unit. To do this, align the cooking bowl
so that the contacts on the bottom can be pushed into the socket on the
heater unit. Carefully push the cooking bowl down so it is seated firmly on the
heater unit.
