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 aord 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.

CAUTIONS
• Do not operate the microwave with the

important not to tamper with the safety
interlocks (safety interlocks automatically
switch o any cooking activity when
the door is opened). This could result in
harmful exposure to excessive microwave
energy.
• Do not place any object (such as

• 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:

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

Helpline: [phone]
• 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 o 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 aect the life of the appliance
and possibly result in a hazardous
situation.

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.
• After cooking, the container is very hot.
Using gloves to take out the food and
avoid steam burns by directing steam
