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.
All in one
The Tower 33L Air Convector Oven fries, bakes
and grills, providing you with a versatile appliance
that works just like a conventional oven but takes
up half the space. Featuring a compact design,
this appliance will t in any kitchen. Adjustable
temperature between 60 and 230 degrees means
your meals will always be cooked to perfection and
accessories including a rotisserie fork and handle
mean you’re covered for every culinary eventuality.
As well as baking and grilling Tower 33L Air
Convector Oven works as an air fryer and a
convection oven.
Air Frying: Air frying allows you to enjoy the taste
of deep fried food, but at only 10% fat, it really
is the healthiest alternative. All you need to do is
lightly coat the food in oil and the hot air will fry it
for you. Air frying uses hot circulating air to cook
food that’s crispy on the outside and moist inside
at higher speeds.
Convection: Using circulating air, the convection
oven cooks food quickly, efciently and uses much
less energy than conventional cooking methods.
The hot air method of cooking ensures an even
distribution of heat around the food. One of the
effects of this is that the surface of food, such as
meat, is quickly sealed, allowing it to retain the
succulence of its original avour.

8TROUBLESHOOTING&FAQ’S
Problem Solution
Food is cooking too
slowly, too quickly, or
burning.
The oven temperature may be too low or high.
If food is cooking too quickly, try lowering the shelf. If food is cooking too
slowly, move the shelf up.
Steam is coming
from the oven.
This is a normal occurrence when cooking foods with high water content.
Take care when opening the oven as steam may escape when you open
the door.
The oven is not
cooking evenly.
Check you are using the correct temperature for the recipe as the
temperature may be too high.
The food/dish may not be placed centrally on the tray.
There is a smell of
burning in the oven.
There may be a build-up of grease in the oven or on the wire rack. Always
wipe down the oven inside after use, once it has cooled completely. Always
wash the wire rack after each use to remove any grease build-up.
My roast chicken will
not t neatly on the
rotisserie.
