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.

for more fantastic products.
The Tower Wafe Maker lets you quickly and easily prepare up to 2 delicious wafes
at a time. Its automatic temperature control ensures your wafes come out just
the way you like them, while the indicator lights help you gauge when your meal is
ready.
The wafe maker’s non-stick plates allow for easy cleaning, while the non-slip feet
provide added stability on a worktop and the appliance’s integrated cord storage
lets you easily stow it away after use. Complete with cool touch housing, for added
safety, this wafe maker is a convenient and practical way to prepare a tasty
breakfast.

Read all instructions and safety information carefully before rst use. Please retain
this information for future reference.
1. Carefully unpack the appliance. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Place the appliance on a at, level surface. Open the lid of the appliance.
3. Wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth so that they are clean.
Note: Use a small amount of cooking oil to season the cooking plates, and wipe off
any excess with a dry cloth. This only needs to be done once.
4. Wipe the outside of the housing with a soft damp cloth. NEVER immerse the
power cord and plug in water or any other liquid.
5. Close the appliance.
6. Plug into the wall outlet and pre-heat for 10 minutes.
Note: During this initial phase some smoke may be emitted from the wafe maker.
This is normal.
4 - Before First Use
Preparing Your Appliance:
1. Connect the unit to the electrical supply. The red and green indicator lights will
switch on to show that the appliance is pre-heating.
2. Close the lid while the pre-heating occurs. During this time prepare your wafe
ingredients.
3. The appliance is ready for use once the red indicator goes off. This will take
approximately 2-4 minutes.
Note: Initially, the appliance may release a slight harmless odour and smoke. This
is a normal occurrence caused by the initial heating of the heating elements and
should not re-occur.
Preparing wafes:
1. Prepare your pancake batter as detailed in the Recipe section.
2. Lift the safety catch and open the wafe maker.
3. Carefully pour the pancake batter onto each of the two cooking plates, taking
care to prevent spillages.
Note: Pancake batter tends to expand during the cooking process, and may
spill from the cooking plates if they have been overlled. To prevent this from
happening, we recommend lling the cooking plates to no more than 3/4 full, so
that the batter has room to expand as it cooks.
4. Close the casing to ensure the wafes are placed evenly.
5. Lock the safety catch.
5 - Using Your Appliance

9
6. Normal cooking times will be 3-6 minutes for each wafe. During this period,
the red indicator light will periodically turn itself on and off, as the thermostat
keeps the wafe maker at the proper baking temperature.
Serving your wafes:
1. Remove the wafes from the heating plates with a plastic or wooden spatula.
2. Be careful when removing the wafes from the unit, as they will be quite hot.
3. Allow the wafes to cool for a few minutes before eating.
Tips:
• Always preheat your wafe maker fully.
• Ensure the lid of the wafe maker is down whilst preheating.
• Butter, margarine and olive oil can all be used to coat the cooking plates for
optimal results.
• Light/low fat margarines are not recommended as they do not withstand heat.
• Allow hot wafes to rest for 2 -3 minutes after removing them from the wafe
maker.

10
Questions Answers
Do the indicator
lights show when my
wafe is done?
No. The indicator lights only indicate power, and that the wafe
maker has reached the correct temperature. Ensure you do not
leave the wafe maker during use.
How long will it take
to make a wafe?
We recommend toasting your wafes for around ve minutes.
Generally the wafes will be ready approximately 3 – 6 minutes after
adding them to the wafe maker, depending on your preference.

The wire labelled blue is the neutral and
must be connected to the terminal marked
[N].
The wire labelled brown is the live wire and
must be connected to the terminal marked

The wire labelled green/yellow must be
connected to the terminal marked with the

If in doubt, consult a qualied electrician
who will be pleased to do this for you.
If you need to remove the plug - disconnect
it from the mains - then cut it off of the mains
lead and immediately dispose of it in a safe
manner. Never attempt to reuse the plug
