CeraGlide Turbo Iron

T22001

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.

The Iron is tted with a vertical steam function.

This enables you to remove creases from

hanging clothes, wall hangings or curtains.

Hold the Iron vertically and direct it towards the

fabric and press the stream burst button.

Warning: Ensure that the steam is not directed

towards yourself or other people. The ejected

steam is hot and therefore hazardous.

Anti-Calcfunction

A special resin lter inside the water reservoir

softens hard water and prevents scale build-up

in the plate.

The resin lter is permanent and does not need

replacing. However if you live in a particularly

hard water area, we recommend using bottled

or distilled water.

Warning: never pour vinegar or other liquid

cleaners for eliminating calcium into water tank.

Anti-dripfunction

With a bimetal assembled inside the iron,

which closes the steam when the iron soleplate

becomes very low, so water leakage will never

happen with this features.

which switches off the heating element

automatically if the iron is left motionless.

2. The iron will shut off after 30 seconds in

a horizontal position or 8 minutes in a

vertical position.

3. Pick up the iron or move it lightly to heat it

up again. The indicator light will come on.

When the indicator light is off, the iron is

ready for use.

4. To prevent water dripping from the

soleplate in the horizontal resting position,

set the steam control dial to position 0 or

stand the iron on its end if the appliance is

left unattended for a while.

Ironingtips

• Always check rst whether a label with

ironing instructions is attached to the

article.

• The iron heats up quicker than it cools

down, therefore, you should start

ironing the articles requiring the lowest

temperature such as those made of

synthetic bres.

• If the fabric consists of various kinds

of bres, you must always select the

lowest ironing temperature to iron the

composition of those bres.

• Silk and other fabrics that are likely to

become shiny should be ironed on the

inner side.

• Velvet and other textures that rapidly

become shiny should be ironed in one

direction with light pressure applied.

Always keep the iron moving at any given

moment.

• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be

ironed with the iron set a steam position.

Preferably set steam button to the

maximum position and use a dry cloth as

a mat.

Note: when ironing woollen fabrics, shining of

the fabric may occur. So it is suggested that

you should turn the article inside out and iron

the reverse side.

IMPORTANT

Read all garment labels when ironing and

ensure the manufacturers ironing guidelines are

followed. The manufacturers ironing guidelines

are often shown by symbols similar to the

below:

Note: if the article to be ironed consists of

various different fabrics, always select the

temperature required by the most delicate

fabric.
