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
• 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.
• 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
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.
• DO NOT rinse the
glass tray 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 the
microwave since they
may explode, even after
microwave heating has
ended. Pressure will

9
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 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 fire.
• 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.
Use gloves to take
out the food and
avoid steam burns by
directing steam away
from the face and
hands.
