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:
• Check that the voltage
of the main circuit
corresponds with the
rating of the appliance
before operating.
• If the supply cord or
appliance is damaged,
stop using the
appliance immediately
and seek advice from
the manufacturer,
its service agent or
a similarly qualified
person.
• WARNING! DO NOT
let the cord hang over
the edge of a table or
counter, serious injury
may result from the
microwave being pulled
off the counter where
it may be grabbed by
children or become
entangled with the
user.
• DO NOT carry the
appliance by the power
cord.
• DO NOT pull the plug
out by the cord as this
may damage the plug
and/or the cable.
• Switch off at the wall
socket then remove the
plug from the socket
when not in use or
before cleaning.
• The use of accessory
attachments is not
recommended
by the appliance
manufacturer apart
from those supplied
with this product. DO
NOT use extension
cords with the
appliance.
• Switch off and unplug
after use and before
cleaning.
• Close supervision is
necessary when any
appliance is used by or
near children.
• Children should not
play with the appliance.

7
• 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. Please read
these notes carefully
BEFORE using your
Tower appliance
• Take care when any
appliance is used near
pets.
• DO NOT use this
product for anything
other than its intended
use.
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.
Doing so will void the
warranty.
• 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.

8
• DO NOT operate the
microwave if it is rusty.
• 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. NEVER use
metal objects in the
microwave, as they may
arc and 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
hardboiled 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.
• We DO NOT
recommend the use
of microwave popcorn
in bags. Many of
these produce PFOA
chemicals, which have
been identified as a
potential carcinogen.
Instead we recommend
using a microwave-
approved bowl and lid.
Should you choose to
do so, ALWAYS follow
exact directions given
by each manufacturer
for their popcorn
products.

10
• NOTE: The use of non-
compliant materials will
void your warranty.
• DO NOT leave the oven
unattended while corn
is being popped. If
corn fails to pop after
the suggested times,
discontinue cooking.
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,
containers used in the
microwave will be very
hot. Using gloves to
take out the food and
avoid steam burns by
directing steam away
from the face and
hands.
• This appliance is
intended to be used in
household and similar
applications such as:
Staff kitchen areas in
shops, offices and other
working environments.
Farm houses, by clients
in hotels, motels and
other residential
environments, bed
& breakfast type
environments.
• The microwave oven is
intended for heating
food and beverages.
Drying of food or
clothing and heating of
warming pads, slippers,
sponges, damp cloth
and similar may lead to
risk of injury, ignition or
fire.
• The door or outer
surface may get hot
when the appliance is
operating.
• In the unlikely event
the appliance develops
a fault, stop using
it immediately and
seek advice from the
