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yourrstuse:
1. Before using the unit for the rst time,
carefully clean the unit and cover.
2. Do not use any abrasive detergents,
brushes with metal or nylon bristles or
sharp objects such as knives or spatulas
for cleaning the cooking plates by wiping a
sponge or cloth dampened in warm water
to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
3. For best results, lightly coat the cooking
plates with a little cooking oil or cooking
spray.
4. Dispose of packaging in a responsible
manner.
Preparingyour3in1SandwichMaker,
WafeandGrill:
1. Remove the appliance from the packaging
and peel off any adhesive labels.
2. Pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the
non-stick coated plates.
3. Wipe over the plates with an absorbent
kitchen towel and then wipe off any excess
oil.
4. Connect to your electrical supply; the red
indicator lamp will switch on to show that
the 3 in 1 Sandwich Maker, Wafe and Grill
is pre-heating.
5. Close the lid while the pre-heating occurs.
During this time prepare your ingredients.
6. The appliance is ready for use once the
green indicator illuminates. This will take
approximately 5 minutes.
7. Initially, the appliance may release a slight
harmless odour and smoke. This is a
normal occurrence caused by the initial
heating of the heating elements and should
not re-occur.
Howtochangeplates:
Warning: Never change the plates when the
appliance is hot.
1. Open the appliance.
2. Pull the detaching button to release the
cooking plate and remove it in the direction
of the arrows.
3. Clip the desired cooking plate into position,
push the cooking plate down with a little
force until a click sound has been heard.
Hints&TipsforToastingSandwiches:
Bread
The appliance is ideal for toasting most types
of bread (white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat,
wholegrain etc.), as well as artisan breads
(Focaccia, Turkish bread, baguettes, bread rolls
etc.). Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads
which contain high sugar content will tend to
brown quicker.
Fillings
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as
fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when
heated. Be careful when biting into Panini’s and
sandwiches containing llings such as cheese
and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can
burn if eaten too quickly.

Helpline: [phone]
ToastingBread
The appliance is ideal for toasting plain breads
and Turkish bread, without any llings or spreads.
Try toasting Turkish bread with jams for a great
alternative to standard breads at breakfast.
FatFreeSnacks
Due to the non-stick cooking plates, it is not
necessary to use any butter or margarine on the
outside of your toasted snacks.
Hints&TipsforGrilling:
There is an art to determining when your steak,
lamp chop or cutlet is cooked correctly to your
taste or preference - rare, medium rare, medium,
medium well or well done - but it is easily
mastered with these handy hints and tips.
Rare
Cook for a few minutes per side, depending on
thickness. Turn once only.

tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal
temperature of a rare steak as 55-60°C / 130-
140°F.
Mediumrare
Cook on one side until moisture is just visible on
top surface. Turn once only.
Cook on the other side until surface moisture
is visible. Steak will be cooked to medium rare
when it feels soft with back of tongs. A meat
thermometer will show the internal temperature
of a medium rare steak as 60-65°C / 140-150°F.
Medium
Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on top
surface. Turn once only.
Cook on second side until moisture is visible.
Steak will be cooked to medium when it feels
springy with back of tongs.
A meat thermometer will show the internal
temperature of a medium steak as 65-70°C /
150-160°F.
Mediumwell
Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on
top surface. Turn and cook on second side until
moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly
and continue to cook until steak feels rm with
back of tongs.
A meat thermometer will show the internal
temperature of a medium well steak as 70-75°C/
160-170°F.
Welldone
Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on
top surface. Turn and cook on second side until
moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly
