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.

1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth.
Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty.
The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.
3. The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the
operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
4. If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on Control Panel.
5. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door,
wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is
operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates
malfunction of the unit.
6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning.
Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
7. The roller guide and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to
avoid excessive noise.
Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent water
or window cleaner and dry. The roller guide may be washed in mild
sudsy water.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of
the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

* The oven doesn't work :
1. Check that the power cord is securely plugged in.
2. Check that the door is firmly closed.
3. Check that the cooking time is set.
4. Check for a blown circuit fuse or tripped main circuit breaker in your house.
5. If microwave has been used for a pro-longed period the Thermal Cut-Out sensor may of powered down the microwave.
Allow microwave to cool down with the door open.
1. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the sealing
area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door or any load could cause the
oven to fall forward to cause injury and also damage to the door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by
a competent service technician. It is particularly important that the oven closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
i) Door(bent).
ii) Hinges and Hookes(broken or loosened).
iii) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except a properly competent service technician.
5. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
6. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the
appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
If you see sparks in the microwave, turn the microwave off immediately. Sparks can be caused by:
• metal or aluminium foil that touches the interior of the microwave;
• aluminium foil that is not correctly covering the food (points that stick up act as an antenna);
• metal from a closing strip or tableware with metallic edges;
• recycled paper that contains small metal particles.
Refer to following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call.
Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:

Utensil Guide
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or
absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken choosing the utensil. If the utensil is marked microwave-safe, you
do not need to worry. The following table lists various of utensil and indicates whether and how they should be used in a
microwave oven.

▲: Limited Use
X: Not Recommended

Aluminium foil ▲
Can be used in small quantities to protect areas against
overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the
oven wall or if too much foil is used.

In a microwave oven,
electricity is converted
into microwave by the
MAGNETRON.
▶ TRANSMISSION
Then they pass through the cooking containers to be absorbed by
the water molecules in the food, all foods contain water to a more
or lesser extent.
▶ REFLECTION
The microwaves bounce
off the metal walls and
the metal door screen.
▶ ABSORPTION
The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which
causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat then cooks the food.
Microwaves are also attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods
high in these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can only
penetrate to a depth of 4-5cm and as heat spreads through the
food by conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food cooks
from the outside inwards.
Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War ll.
Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar,
radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.
»MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES
Microwave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radio frequency energy is intentionally generated and used in the form of
electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material. This oven is a Class B equipment suitable for use in domestic
establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for
domestic purposes.

STANDING TIME
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require standing
time(inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to
finish conducting to cook the centre completely. Wrap meat joints
and jacket potatoes in aluminium foil while standing. Meat joints
need approx. 10-15 minutes, jacket potatoes 5 minutes. Other foods
such as plated meal, vegetables, fish etc require 2-5 minutes
standing. After defrosting food, standing time should also be allowed.
If food is not cooked after standing time, return to the oven and cook
for additional time.
MOISTURE CONTENT
Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in their moisture
content throughout the season, particularly jacket potatoes. For this
reason cooking times may have to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g.
rice, pasta, can dry out during storage so cooking times may differ.
DENSITY
Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods.
CLING FILM
Cling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped steam assists in
speeding up cooking times. Pierce before cooking to allow excess
steam to escape. Always take care when removing cling film from a
dish as the build-up of steam will be very hot.
SHAPE
Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by microwave when in a
round container rather than square.
SPACING
Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pile
foods on top of each other.
STARTING TEMPERATURE
The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge
takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature.
LIQUIDS
All liquids must be stirred before and during heating. Water
especially must be stirred before and during heating, to avoid
eruption. Do not heat liquids that have previously been boiled. DO
NOT OVERHEAT.
TURNING & STIRRING
Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultry should
be turned after half the cooking time.
ARRANGING
Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a
dish so that the thicker parts are towards the outside.
QUANTITY
Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals
will reheat more quickly than large portions.
PIERCING
The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up
during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should
be peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs,
potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before
cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.
COVERING
Cover foods with microwave cling film or a lid. Cover fish, vegetables,
casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or
pastry items.
