Safety and Instruction Manual

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

T27008

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.

Sweet & Savoury

close to seal your sandwich and its contents,

3USINGYOURAPPLIANCE

Beforeyourrstuse:

1. Before using the unit for the rst time,

carefully clean the unit and cover.

2. Do not use any abrasive detergents,

brushes with metal or nylon bristles or

sharp objects such as knives or spatulas

for cleaning the cooking plates by wiping a

sponge or cloth dampened in warm water

to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.

3. For best results, lightly coat the cooking

plates with a little cooking oil or cooking

spray.

4. Dispose of packaging in a responsible

manner.

Preparingyour3in1SandwichMaker,

WafeandGrill:

1. Remove the appliance from the packaging

and peel off any adhesive labels.

2. Pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the

non-stick coated plates.

3. Wipe over the plates with an absorbent

kitchen towel and then wipe off any excess

oil.

4. The red and green indicator lights will both

come on, to show that the power is on

and the element is warming up. Once the

sandwich maker has reached the required

temperature, the green light will go out.

During heating the green light will cycle on

and off to keep the temperature.

5. Close the lid while the pre-heating occurs.

During this time prepare your ingredients.

6. The appliance is ready for use once the

green indicator illuminates. This will take

approximately 5 minutes.

7. 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.

Howtochangeplates:

Warning: Never change the plates when the

appliance is hot.

1. Open the appliance.

2. Pull the detaching button to release the

of the arrows.

3. Clip the desired cooking plate into position,

push the cooking plate down with a little

force until a click sound has been heard.

Hints&TipsforToastingSandwiches:

Bread

The appliance is ideal for toasting most types

of bread (white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat,

wholegrain etc.), as well as artisan breads

(Focaccia, Turkish bread, baguettes, bread rolls

etc.). Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads

which contain high sugar content will tend to

brown quicker.

Safety and Instruction Manual

Helpline: +44 (0) 333 220 6066

Fillings

Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as

fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when

heated. Be careful when biting into Panini’s and

sandwiches containing llings such as cheese

and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can

burn if eaten too quickly.

ToastingBread

The appliance is ideal for toasting plain breads

and Turkish bread, without any llings or spreads.

Try toasting Turkish bread with jams for a great

alternative to standard breads at breakfast.

FatFreeSnacks

Due to the non-stick cooking plates, it is not

necessary to use any butter or margarine on the

outside of your toasted snacks.

Hints&TipsforGrilling:

There is an art to determining when your steak,

lamp chop or cutlet is cooked correctly to your

taste or preference - rare, medium rare, medium,

medium well or well done - but it is easily

mastered with these handy hints and tips.

Rare

Cook for a few minutes per side, depending on

thickness. Turn once only.

Cook until steak feels very soft with back of

tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal

temperature of a rare steak as 55-60°C / 130-

140°F.

Mediumrare

Cook on one side until moisture is just visible on

top surface. Turn once only.

Cook on the other side until surface moisture

is visible. Steak will be cooked to medium rare

when it feels soft with back of tongs. A meat

thermometer will show the internal temperature

of a medium rare steak as 60-65°C / 140-150°F.

Medium

Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on top

surface. Turn once only.

Cook on second side until moisture is visible.

Steak will be cooked to medium when it feels

springy with back of tongs.

A meat thermometer will show the internal

temperature of a medium steak as 65-70°C /

150-160°F.

Mediumwell

Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on

top surface. Turn and cook on second side until

moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly

and continue to cook until steak feels rm with

back of tongs.

A meat thermometer will show the internal

temperature of a medium well steak as 70-75°C/

160-170°F.

Welldone

Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on

top surface. Turn and cook on second side until

moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly

and continue to cook until steak feels very rm

with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will

show the internal temperature of a well done

steak as 75°C / 170°F.
