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.

• Do not place any object (such
as kitchen towels, napkins,
etc.) between the microwave
front face and the door or
allow food or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing surfaces.
• Do not operate the microwave
if it is damaged. It is particularly
important that the microwave
door closes properly and that
there is no damage to the:
Door Hinges and latches
Door seals and sealing surfaces
• Please ensure cooking times
are correctly set, small amounts
of food require shorter cooking
or heating time. Over cooking
may result in the food catching
on re and subsequent damage
to the microwave.
• When heating liquids, e.g.
soups, sauces and beverages
in your microwave, avoid using
straight sided containers with
narrow necks. Stir the liquid
before placing the container
in the microwave and again
halfway through the heating
time. After heating, let it stand,
stir or shake it again carefully
and check the temperature of
it before consuming to avoid
burns (especially, contents of
feeding bottles and baby food
jars).
• An exhaust outlet is located
on the top, bottom or side of
the microwave. Don’t block the
outlet. It could result in damage
to your microwave and poor
cooking
• Do not operate the microwave
when empty. It is best to leave a
glass of water in the microwave
when not in use. The water will
safely absorb all microwave
energy if the microwave is
accidentally started.
• Improper use could result in
damage to the microwave.
• Do not use wooden containers
and ceramic containers that
have metallic (e.g. gold or
silver) inlays. Always remove
metal twist ties. Check that the
utensils are suitable for use in
the microwave before use. They
may heat up and char. Metal
objects in particular may arc
in the microwave, which can
cause serious damage.
• Do not rinse the turntable by
placing it in water just after
cooking. This may cause
breakage or damage.
• Before cooking pierce the skin
of potatoes, apples or any such
fruit or vegetables. They could
burst.

• Do not cook eggs in their shell.
Eggs in their shell and whole
hard-boiled eggs should not
be heated in microwave since
they may explode, even after
microwave heating has ended.
Pressure will build up inside the
egg which will burst.
• Do not attempt deep fat frying
in your microwave. This could
result in a sudden boil over of
hot liquid.
• If smoke is observed, switch off
or disconnect the microwave
from the power supply and
keep the microwave door
closed in order to stie any
ames. It can cause serious
damage such as re or electric
shock.
• When food is heated or cooked
in disposable containers made
of plastic, paper or other
combustible materials keep
an eye on the microwave and
check it frequently.
• The microwave should be
cleaned regularly and any
food deposits should be
removed. Failure to maintain the
microwave in a clean condition
could lead to deterioration
of the surface. This could
adversely affect the life of the
appliance and possibly result in
a hazardous situation.
• Follow exact directions given
by each manufacturer for their
popcorn product. Do not leave
the oven unattended while corn
is being popped. If corn fails to
pop after the suggested times,
discontinue cooking. Never use
a brown paper bag for popping
corn. Never attempt to pop
leftover kernels. Overcooking
could result in the corn catching
re.
• Do not use harsh abrasives
cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the microwave
door glass. They can scratch
the surface, which may result in
the glass shattering.
