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.

4 - Before First Use

9
Preparing Your Appliance:
1. Connect to your electrical supply and both indicator lamps 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 goes out. This will take
approximately 5 minutes.
Note: 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.
Preparing sandwiches:
1. Butter the bread on the outer surfaces and place desired fillings 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 fillings will be quite hot.
3. Allow to cool for a few minutes before enjoying.
Heating a Panini:
1. Place the panini plates onto the sandwich maker and turn on the unit. Once
the green light goes out the appliance is ready to cook.
2. Prepare your Panini with your chosen ingredients and turn on the unit. Close
the lid while the plates heat.
3. Once the green indicator goes out, open the sandwich maker and place the
Panini into the centre.
4. Press the top down with a little pressure upon the Panini and then allow it to
cook for 3-6 minutes according to your preference.
5 - Using Your Appliance

10
Making Waffles:
1. Place the waffle plates onto the sandwich maker and turn on the unit. Once
the green indicator light goes out the appliance is ready to cook.
2. Once you have prepared your favourite waffle mix and it is at the correct
consistency, pour slowly and evenly, making sure liquid doesn’t overflow, into
the waffle plates.
3. Waffle cooking times will vary according to the consistency of your mix, we
recommend no less than 2 minutes, and that cooking until golden brown
offers an ideal result.
4. Once cooked to your satisfaction, carefully remove with tongs and add your
favourite toppings.
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 fillings 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 fillings cool slightly and means they will run
less.
Removing the Cooking Plates:
• Always unplug the Sandwich Maker and allow it to cool before removing
cooking plates.
• Open the lid, locate the plate release buttons on front of the unit. Press firmly
on the button and the plate will pop up slightly from the base. Grasp the plate
with two hands, slide it out from under the metal brackets, and lift it out of
the base. Press on the other plate release button to remove the other cooking
plate in the same manner.
