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.

4 - Before First Use
Connecting the Hose:
1. To assemble the vacuum cleaner, start by connecting the
hose.
2. To connect the hose, press the locking tab at the base of
the hose, then push it into the corresponding socket at
the front of the unit until it locks into place.
3. To remove the hose, press the locking tab while the hose
is connected to the unit, then pull it away from the main
body of the appliance.
Connecting the Pole:
1. To connect the pole, begin by attaching the larger end to the hose handle.
2. When the pole and hose are connected, push the pole extension locking tab at
the lower end of the pole downwards to release the locking mechanism. Once
the lock has been released, pull the extension pole out and extend it to the
desired height. When the pole is at the desired height, release the locking tab;
it will automatically slide back into a locked position and secure the pole into
place.
3. Finally, connect the floorhead to the end of the extension pole, ensuring it is
secured into place
4. To remove the floorhead and poles, grip each of them firmly and pull them
away from the main body of the appliance until they detach.
Connecting the Accessories:
This vacuum cleaner comes complete with the following accessories;
• A crevice tool to vacuum corners or narrow gaps.
• A brush tool to clean delicate surfaces.
1. To connect and use the accessories included with this vacuum cleaner, attach
each one to the end of the tube, as required. Ensure each accessory is firmly
connected to the tube before turning on the vacuum cleaner, to prevent them
from falling off whilst in use.
2. To remove each accessory, grip it firmly, then pull it away from the main body
of the appliance.
Note: Keep the brushes free of fibres, hairs, and other objects that could impede
proper functioning. Always remove the fibres or other objects when the brushes
pick them up.
5 - Using Your Appliance

9
Using the Vacuum:
1. To use your vacuum cleaner, start by plugging it into a mains socket.
2. Once the vacuum is plugged in, unravel the power cord to your desired
length. DO NOT extend the power cord beyond the red mark, as this is likely to
damage it.
3. When the power cable has been adjusted to the desired length, press the
Power button on top of the appliance to turn it on. The motor will come on and
air will start emitting from the floorhead to indicate the vacuum is in operation.
4. Press the Power button again when the unit is in operation to turn it off.
The motor will stop working and air will stop emitting from the floorhead to
indicate the vacuum has been powered down.
Note: This vacuum cleaner works best on smooth surfaces such as wood, ceramic,
tiles and marble. It will also perform well on hard, short-haired carpet. It should NOT
be used on long-haired carpets as the fibres will damage the system.
Adjusting the Floor Brush:
1. The unit’s floorhead is equipped with a tab mechanism, which releases or
retracts the bristles to suit carpet or hard floor vacuuming.
2. Push the tab on the unit’s floorhead upwards to set it to hard floor mode,
or push it downwards from the hard floor setting to adjust it to carpet
vacuuming.
Rewinding the Power Cord:
This unit is equipped with an automatic cord retraction system. Press the Cord
Rewind button on the unit’s main body to automatically retract the power cord.
Note: Always ensure the unit is disconnected from the mains before attempting to
retract the power cord. DO NOT retract the power cord while the unit is plugged
into a mains socket, as this could cause damage to the cable.
Note: The power cord can only be automatically retracted. To unwind the power
cord, pull it manually out of its storage nook on the main body of the unit until it is
at the desired length.
Note: The yellow and red markings on the power cord indicate the limits to which
the cord should be stretched. The yellow marking represents the maximum
recommended length for the cord, while the red marking indicates the maximum
limit to which it can be unwound without damaging. If possible, only unwind the
cord as far as the yellow marking. NEVER unwind the cord past the red marking, as
this will cause damage to it.

Emptying the Dust Tank:
The dust tank should be emptied when dust reaches the
MAX mark, as shown in the illustration.

clean the unit.
2. Push the dust tank release button to separate the tank from the body.
3. Push the latch on the body of the dust tank downwards to open the chute
door, then shake the contents into a dustbin. Close the dust tank door by
pushing it upwards until it clicks into place.
Removing and Cleaning the Filter:
1. To clean the filter, first remove it from the
dust tank. To remove the tank from the main
body of the appliance, press the tank release
button and pull the tank firmly away from
the body of the appliance until it detaches.
2. Once the tank has been detached from the
unit, turn the dust tank lid clockwise to release the latch and open the tank.
Use the padlock symbols on the body of the dust tank as a guide.
3. When the tank lid has been detached from the body, grip the small tab with
the product branding printed on and pull it upwards to open the lid and
access the inner filter.
4. To clean the outer filter, tap it against a rubbish bin or similar surface to remove
debris, then clean it with a soft cloth or a paper towel.

then rinse it under running water and leave it to dry thoroughly.
6. Once the filter is dry, put it back into the dust tank and turn it clockwise to
lock. The arrow on the filter unit should be aligned with the lock symbol on the
dust tank; otherwise, the filter is not yet locked into place. Continue to turn it
clockwise until the two symbols are aligned.
7. Once the dust tank is locked, attach it back onto the main body of the
appliance until it clicks into place.
WARNING! NEVER operate the appliance without the dust tank filter in place.
8. Once the dust tank filter has been securely placed back inside the dust tank,
slot the dust tank back into the unit until it clicks into place.
WARNING! DO NOT allow any liquids into the unit, as this could cause damage to
the electrical components and cause it to malfunction.
