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.

3USINGYOURAPPLIANCE
Beforerstuse:
• Carefully unpack the appliance. Remove all
packaging materials.
• Place the appliance on a at, level surface.
Open the sandwich maker lid.
• Wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth
so that they are clean.
• Note: Use a small amount of cooking oil to
season the cooking plates, and wipe off any
excess with a dry cloth. This only needs to
be done once.
• Wipe the outside of the housing with a soft
damp cloth. NEVER immerse the power
cord and plug in water or any other liquid.
• Close the appliance.
• Plug into the wall outlet and pre-heat for
10 minutes.
• Note: During this initial phase some smoke
may be emitted from the sandwich maker.
This is normal.
Usingyourappliance:
1. Connect to your electrical supply and the
red indicator lamp will switch on to show
that the appliance is pre-heating.
2. Close the lid while the pre-heating occurs.
During this time prepare your sandwich
ingredients.
3. The appliance is ready for use once the
green indicator illuminates. This will take
approximately 5 minutes.
Preparingsandwiches:
1. Butter the bread on the outer surfaces and
place desired llings within.
2. Lift safety catch and open the sandwich
maker. Place sandwiches on the heating
plates.
3. Close the casing to ensure that the
sandwich is placed evenly.
4. Lock the safety catch.
5. Normal cooking times will be 3-6 minutes
for each sandwich. The red light will turn
on and off, as the thermostat keeps the
sandwich maker at the proper baking
temperature.
CAUTION: The appliance is not to be operated
in the open position.
CAUTION: The cooking surface is hot; handle
with care.
Servingyoursandwiches:
1. Remove the sandwiches from the heating
plates with a plastic or wooden spatula.
2. Be careful with your sandwiches, the llings
will be quite hot.
3. Allow to cool for a few minutes before
enjoying.
Tips:
• Always preheat your sandwich maker fully.
• Ensure the lid of the sandwich maker is
down whilst preheating.
• Butter, margarine and olive oil can all be
used to coat the outside of your bread.
• Light/Low fat versions of margarines are
not recommended as they do not withstand
heat.
• Fillings: Try to use canned or pre-cooked
fruit as fresh fruit may give off excessive
juices when heated. Be careful when biting
into toasted sandwiches containing llings
such as cheese and tomato or jam as
they retain heat and can burn if eaten too
quickly.

• Processed cheeses tend to ‘run’ under
higher temperatures.
• Pat moist ingredients (such as sliced
tomatoes and fruits) dry before adding to
your sandwich.
• Allow hot sandwiches to rest for 2 -3
minutes after removing them from the
sandwich maker. This helps the llings cool
slightly and means they will run less.
