1912 Midland Metal Spinners was founded by
George Cadman, who was then 65 years old, as
a metal holloware manufacturing company, in St.
Mark’s Street, Wolverhampton. They later moved
into the Tower and Fort Works in Pelham Street,
which ultimately gave rise to the famous Tower
brand name.
1937 Tower exhibited some of their latest holloware
designs at the British Industries Fair. As you can
see from the original poster, their stand No. A410
must have been a great sight as it promoted their
“Beautiful, inexpensive, untarnishable Plate, at
prices all can afford to pay”.
1961 Tower became one of the largest
manufacturers of aluminium holloware, electric
kettles, tea pots and other household articles with
over 1,000 employees.
1974 Russell Hobbs took ownership of the
expanding Tower brand.

those that may be inside the toasting slots
or toasting lever slots.
2. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Dry
thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
3. Do not put the Toaster, cord or plug in
water.
4. Be sure crumb tray is pushed all the way
into the back of the toaster and the toasting
levers are in the UP position.
5. Unwrap power cord from cord storage area
on underside of toaster and plug into a 220-
240V AC outlet.
6. Turn the browning selector knob to, the
lightest setting.
7. Lower the toasting lever until they lock in
place. Operate without bread once or twice
to burn off any manufacturing residue.
You may notice a light amount of smoke;
this is normal and will stop as the heating
elements continue to heat.
Automaticcentringguides:
Lowering the toasting lever closes the centring
guides and holds the bread or toaster food
centrally in the toasting slots.
Note: The toasting lever will not lock down
unless the toaster is plugged into an electrical
outlet.
ToastingInstructions:
1. Make sure crumb trays are pushed all the
way into the back of the Toaster and the
toasting levers are in the UP position.
2. Make sure no bread or other objects are

surface.
4. Plug the power cord into a 220-240AC
electrical outlet.
5. Position the browning selector knob to

before placing into the toasting slot(s).
7. Insert bread or toaster food into the toasting
slot(s).

times to raise jammed bread.

corresponding CANCEL button.

burning smell
omitting from my
toaster?

gently pry the crumbs out.
Why won’t my toast
pop up after toasting
is complete?

or less pliable.

ing it to dislodge any debris.
