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 all packaging materials, including 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. Make sure the crumb tray is pushed all the way into the back of the toaster
and the toasting levers are in the UP position.
5. Unwrap the power cord from the cord storage area on the underside of the
toaster and plug into a 220- 240V AC outlet.
6. Turn the browning selector dial to the lightest setting.
7. Lower the toasting lever until it locks 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
food to be toasted centrally in the toasting slots.
NOTE: The toasting lever will not lock down unless the toaster is plugged into an
electrical outlet.
1. Ensure the crumb tray is pushed all the way into the back of the Toaster and
the toasting lever is in the UP position.
2. Make sure no bread or other objects are inside the toasting slots.
3. Place the toaster on a flat, level, heat resistant surface.
4. Plug the power cord into a mains outlet.
5. Position the browning selector dial to your desired setting. To test toasting
times for browning, it is best to use both toasting slots and position the
browning selector dial between 3 and 4, and then adjust each subsequent
toasting to your preference.
6. Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing into the toasting
slots.
7. Insert bread or food to be toasted into the toasting slots.
8. Lower the toasting lever until locked into place. The automatic centring guides
hold food upright for uniform side-to-side toasting. When the bread is lowered
into position, toasting will begin.
9. When the toast reaches the selected browning level, it will pop up
automatically.
10. Remove bread from toasting slots. Be careful when removing the bread, as the
bread and the top of the toaster will still be hot.
11. To interrupt toasting, press the corresponding CANCEL button.
12. Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use.

Buttons:
Reheat Button: This button allows you to reheat your food without any extra
browning or toasting.
Frozen Button: This button allows you to defrost and toast frozen bread.
Cancel Button: The cancel button allows you to stop the toasting process.
NOTE: The toasting lever will not lock into position unless the Toaster is plugged
in. When toasting a single slice, the bread may be placed in any toasting slot.
To prevent a fire hazard, never place bread over the opening of the Toaster,
always place bread into the slots.
DO NOT change the browning selector dial selection during the toasting cycle.
First press the CANCEL button; then turn the browning selector dial to adjust
the browning level. Lower the toasting lever and toast until the desired toast
colour is achieved.
IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, because
that may damage the heating element or cause injury.
NOTE: If your toast jams, unplug the cord and move the loading lever up and
down a few times to raise jammed bread.
