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.

Never use the steam mop without the microbre cleaning pad securely in place.

10
7. Never leave the microbre cleaning pad on the steam mop head when you
have nished using the steam mop, as the dirt deposits and other foreign
objects may cause unpleasant odours and in some cases may damage the
surface it is resting on.
8. For best results wash the pads after each use (additional pads may be
purchased online from www.towerhousewares.co.uk)
The benets of using a Tower Steam Mop are as follows:
• It will remove stubborn stains and sanitise your work surfaces or oors more
efciently than conventional cleaning methods.
• The steam cleaner can be assembled and disassembled easily from a long
mop type steamer to a hand held steamer.
• It can be used as a hand held steamer for those awkward places where the
portability of the product allows you to achieve the extra cleaning protection
that conventional methods or products just do not achieve.
Hand-held steamer:
The hand held steamer is an ideal portable cleaner for use on
work surfaces, counter tops, sinks, windows, mirrors, tiles and
spot cleaning on oors, carpets and rugs. Use it with the jet
nozzle, brass brush or nylon brush attachments to spray away
dirt, grease, mould and more.
• Remove the power supply cord from the upper cord wrap
and cord holder. Turn the lower cord wrap to release the
cord and remove the power supply cord from its channel
as illustrated (See illustration).
• Press the extension handle lock button and remove the
extension handle and the curved handle from the main
body.
• Press the lock button on the main body and remove the
mop head.
To attach the Jet Nozzle:
Insert the Jet Nozzle into the designated hole in the Main Body until it locks in
place with the Lock Button on the Main Body (You will hear a clicking sound), as
illustrated. (See below).

11
To t all accessories:
All accessories that attach to the jet nozzle end x by clicking in place and turning
slightly clockwise to secure in position.
They can be used with soap or detergent to clean dirty areas.
WARNING! Never use the round brass brush on soft surfaces such as plastic or soft
metals as they are prone to scratching.
When changing any of the attachments it is recommended the appliance is
switched off and allowed to cool before changing or adding the attachments.
Window cleaning/garment cleaning:
• This attachment is used to clean windows and at glass products such as
mirrors as well as garments.
• To t the squeegee attachment, clip it onto the steamer shelf.
• To clean clothing, attach the steamer cloth.
• To t the cover, pull the elasticated steamer cloth (attachment 16) over the
steamer shelf (attachment 17).
• The unit comes complete with a squeegee blade for use on windows and
mirrors (Attachment 18).
WARNING! Do not use on frozen windows, as the thermal shock may cause the
glass to crack or shatter. When cleaning fabrics where possible it is recommended
that you check the fabric label to ensure that the fabric will withstand the
temperatures generated by the steam. For large items or items that are not
labelled use a test area that will not be visible. It is always best to have the material
hanging as this will aid with the eradication of creases on the fabric item or
clothing.
Fabric will be hot after the steam has been applied.
Always test on a small piece of fabric before use.
