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.

3 - Important Safety Information:

7
• Close supervision is
necessary when any
appliance is used by or
near children.
• Children should not play
with the appliance.
• This appliance can
be used by children
aged from 8 years and
above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and
knowledge if they have
been given supervision
or instruction concerning
use of the appliance in a
safe way and understand
the hazards involved.
• Cleaning and user
maintenance should
not be undertaken
by children without
supervision.
• Take care when any
appliance is used near
pets.
• DO NOT use this product
for anything other than
its intended use.
• This appliance is for
household use only.
CAUTIONS
• DO NOT operate the
microwave with the door
open due to the safety
interlocks built into
the door mechanism.
It is important not
to tamper with the
safety interlocks (safety
interlocks automatically
switch off 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 kitchen towels,
napkins, etc.) between
the microwave front face
and the door or allow
food or cleaner residue
to accumulate on sealing
surfaces.

8
• 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, 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 fire 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 results.
• 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.

9
• DO NOT rinse the glass
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 stifle
any flames. It can cause
serious damage such as
fire 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 products.
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 fire.

10
• 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 away from the
face and hands.

intended to be used in
household and similar
