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.

1. Remove your appliance from the packaging.
2. Before using the unit for the first time, carefully clean the attachments and
bowl.
3. Ensure that the unit is at the 0 setting, and then plug it into the power source.
4. Your appliance is now ready for normal use.
5. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner.
Using the Unit as a Hand Mixer:
1. This unit may be used as a handheld or stand mixer, as required. To detach
the handheld unit when it is attached to the stand base, press the handheld
release button at the back of the unit and pull the handheld firmly upwards
and away from the main base until it detaches.
2. To use the unit as a hand mixer, begin by attaching the dough hooks or mixing
beaters to the handheld unit.
3. To attach the dough hooks or beaters to the unit, insert each of them into one
of the corresponding slots on the underside of the unit until it clicks into place.
Ensure each accessory is securely attached before attempting to use the unit.
4. Once the accessories are correctly installed and secured into place, place the
ingredients to be mixed into the mixing bowl and position the handheld mixer
over the lip of the bowl.
5. Once the mixer is correctly positioned, flick the speed selection switch to any
position other than ‘0’ to begin mixing. Flick this switch to any of the other
available settings while the unit is in operation to change speed settings while
mixing, or flick it back to the ‘0’ position at any time to turn the unit off and
stop the mixing process.
6. To release an attachment from the unit at any time, simply press the ‘Release’
button at the top of the handheld unit. The attachment will automatically
detach from the handheld unit.
CAUTION! Always make sure the speed selection dial is turned to the ‘0’ poisition
before attempting to release the attachments from the unit.
Attaching the Handheld Unit to the Base:
1. This unit may be used as a handheld or stand mixer, as required.
2. To use the unit as a stand mixer, begin by attaching the accessories to the
handheld unit, as described in the section above. Ensure each accessory is
securely attached before attempting to use the unit.
3. Once the accessories are correctly installed and secured into place, attach
the unit to the stand base. To do this, simply slot the handheld into the
corresponding grooved section at the top of the stand base, ensuring the
protruding tab on the base lines up with the corresponding notch on the
underside of the handheld unit. If these two parts are correctly aligned, the tab
will automatically slot into the notch and secure the handheld unit to the base.

4. When the handheld is firmly secured to the base, press the Lock Release
button on the side of the stand base and pull the handheld firmly upwards to
access the main mixing area.
5. Once the lock has been released, slot the splash guard into place, if required.
To do this, align the two tabs at the back of the splash guard with the two
recessed ridges located on the underside of the handheld unit base. Once the
two parts are aligned, push the splash guard firmly inwards until it slots into
place.
NOTE: If using the splash guard, ensure it is correctly fitted into place before
attempting to use the unit.
NOTE: The splash guard does not need to be installed when mixing dry ingredients.
If mixing dry ingredients, proceed directly to step 6 below.
NOTE: The splash guard can also be used as a pouring shield. To use the splash
guard as a pouring shield, simply lift the flap at the top of the guard and push the
required ingredients through it and into the bowl.
6. Once the handheld unit is firmly secured into place, insert the ingredients to
be mixed into the mixing bowl, and slot the bowl onto the rotating plate on the
underside of the main mixing area. To prevent the bowl from moving out of
position while mixing, ensure it is correctly positioned and secured into place
before attempting to use the unit as a stand mixer.
7. When the bowl is in place and the accessories are correctly installed and
secured into place, push the main unit downwards to return the handheld and
splash guard (if attached) to its original horizontal position.
8. Once the mixer and splash guard (if attached) are correctly positioned, flick
the speed selection switch to any position other than ‘0’ to begin mixing. Flick
this switch to any of the other available settings while the unit is in operation
to change speed settings while mixing, or flick it back to the ‘0’ position at any
time to turn the unit off and stop the mixing process.
NOTE: For best results, select speed ‘1’ at the start of the mixing process, then
gradually increase the speed as required.
9. When the mixing process is complete or to detach the handheld unit from the
stand base and use it as a hand mixer, press the handheld release button at
the back of the unit and pull the handheld firmly upwards and away from the
main base until it detaches. Alternatively, simply press the Lock Release button
on the side of the stand base and pull the handheld firmly upwards to access
the main mixing area and remove the mixing bowl.
NOTE: Ensure the accessories are detached before attempting to remove the unit
from the base completely.
To mix or knead dough:
1. Use the dough hooks for this function.
2. A good ratio of flour and water is 5:3 but always follow recipe guidelines if
available.
3. Take care not to overfill the bowl, as this could affect the quality of the dough.
4. Once the ingredients are added to the bowl turn the Speed dial to setting 1 at
first, then gradually increase the speed as required.

10
Mixing shakes, cocktails or other liquids:
1. The mixing beater should be used for this function.
2. Mix the ingredients according to the available recipe, gradually increasing the
speed from 1 to 5 for about 5 minutes.
3. Do not exceed the maximum quantity for the bowl.
Tips:
1. Allow refrigerated ingredients, such as butter and eggs, to reach room
temperature before mixing in order for them to combine more thoroughly.
2. To avoid the possibility of shell in the mixture, break eggs into a separate
container before adding to the mix.
3. For best results use heavy cold cream, straight from the refrigerator, for
making whipped cream.
4. Do not over-beat. Be careful that you only mix/blend mixtures for the amount
of time recommended in your recipe. Fold into dry ingredients only until just
combined.
5. Changes in temperature and the texture and temperature of the ingredient
will affect the required mixing time and end results.
6. Always start mixing at the lowest speed setting. Gradually increase to the
recommended speed as stated in the recipe.
