Safety and Instruction Manual

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

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.

All in One

Having a busy life doesn’t mean you can’t make

tasty homemade meals. With the Tower Air

Fryer Microwave, you’ve got a multifunctional

kitchen gadget that cooks for you, leaving you

with your free time. It’s easy and quick to clean,

making it even more time efﬁcient. The Tower Air

Fryer Microwave is everything you need to make

delicious meals, in just one appliance.

Air frying allows you to enjoy the taste of deep fried

food, but at only 10% fat, it really is the healthiest

alternative. All you need to do is lightly coat the

food in oil and the hot air will fry it for you. Air frying

uses hot circulating air to cook food that’s crispy

on the outside and moist inside at higher speeds.

Caution!

There are a number of accessories available on

the market. Before you buy, make sure they are

suitable for microwave use.

When you put food into the Air Fryer Microwave,

ensure that the food, food supports and/or

covering do not come in direct contact with any

of the internal walls or the ceiling of the cavity

since discolouration may take place.

Some plastics are heat-proof only to certain

temperatures. Check carefully!

Always remove lids of jars and containers,

including take away food containers, before you

cook using your Air Fryer Microwave. If you don’t

remove the lids, then steam and pressure can

build up inside and cause an explosion even after

microwave cooking has stopped.

Do not use straight sided containers with narrow

necks when heating liquid. Use extreme care

when inserting a spoon or other utensils into the

container.

Cookingtips

The following factors may affect the cooking

result:

Food arrangement

Place thicker areas towards the outside of the

dish with the thinner parts towards the centre.

Spread it evenly and avoid overlap if possible.

Cooking time length

Begin cooking on a shorter time setting and

evaluate the food after it times out.

Extend the time according to the actual need.

Over cooking may result in burnt food and

smoke.

Piercing

Food such as potatoes, sh, chicken and

sausages all need to be pierced in several places

before cooking, so that steam does not build up

and cause the food to explode.

Cooking food evenly

Food such as chicken, burgers or steak should

be turned once during cooking.

Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir

from outside to the centre of the dish once or

twice during cooking.

Allow standing time

Once the cooking time has nished, allow food

to stand in the air fryer for a few minutes. This

allows the food to complete its cooking cycle and

to cool down naturally.

If the food is cooked fully:

The colour and rmness of food help to

determine whether it done.

The following signs show that the food is ready:

• Steam coming out from all parts of food,

not just the edge

• Joints of poultry can be moved easily

• Pork or poultry show no signs of blood

• Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with

a fork

Browning dish

When using a browning dish or self-heating

container, always place a heat resistant insulator

such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent

damage to the turntable and rotating ring.

Microwave safe plastic wrap

When cooking food with high fat content, do not

allow the plastic wrap come into contact with

food as it may melt.

Microwave safe plastic cookware

Some microwave safe plastic cookware might

not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat

and sugar content. The preheating time specied

in the dish instruction manual must not be

exceeded.

4TROUBLESHOOTING&FAQ’S

Questions Answers

Is it normal for the

turntable to turn in either

direction?

Yes. The turntable can rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise, depending

on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle starts.

Can I operate my Air

Fryer Microwave whilst it

is empty?

No, never run it empty or with a very small load for a long period of

time as this will damage the Air Fryer Microwave

Can I open the door

whilst the Air Fryer

Microwave is running?

You can open the door at any point during cooking. The microwave

energy will automatically switch off when the door is opened, and the

time setting will pause until the door is closed.

Why is my Air Fryer mi-

crowave sparking?

If you see sparks in your Air Fryer Microwave, turn it off immediately.

Sparks can be caused by:

Metal or aluminium foil that touches the interior of the microwave,

metal from a closing strip or tableware with metallic edges; recycled

paper that contains small metal particles and aluminium foil that is not

correctly covering the food.

Remove anything from the Air Fryer Microwave that may contain metal.

Refer to the Utensils Guideline in this manual for reference of what

containers are microwave safe.

I am trying to cook eggs

and they are popping.

What do I do?

When you bake or poach eggs, the yolk can pop due to a build-up

of steam inside the yolk membrane. Pierce the yolk with a toothpick

before cooking. Never cook eggs without rst piercing their shells.

My Air Fryer Microwave

is taking longer to cook

food than the cooking

guide says.

Variations in the size, shape and weight of your food can affect cooking

times.

Cooking guide times and heat settings should be used as suggestions

to help prevent over-cooking. If you nd the cooking time or

temperature is not suited to your ingredients, adjust accordingly.

Can I operate my Air

Fryer Microwave without

the turntable?

No. If you remove the turntable you will get poor cooking results.

Ensure that all dishes used in the Air Fryer Microwave t correctly on to

the turntable.

What does standing

time mean and why is it

recommended?

Standing time means that food should be removed from the Air Fryer

Microwave and allowed to ‘stand’ for an additional time to let it nish

cooking.

This is important because with microwave cooking, the heat is held in

the food, not in the oven. Many foods build up enough internal heat to

allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed

from the oven. Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and

cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, without overcooking

the outside.

Most directions on microwavable food will note how much standing

time is required.

5CLEANING&CARE

The Air Fryer Microwave should be cleaned

regularly and any food deposits removed.

Remove the power cord from the wall outlet

before cleaning. Don’t immerse the appliance in

water or other uids when cleaning.

Failure to maintain the Air Fryer Microwave in

a clean condition could lead to deterioration

of the surface. This could adversely affect the

life of the appliance and possibly result in a

hazardous situation.

Never use hard detergent, gasoline, abrasive

powder or metal brush to clean any part of the

appliance.

Do not remove the waveguide cover.

After lengthy use, it is possible for odors to emit

from the Air Fryer Microwave.

The following 2 points are some methods to

remove odors or unpleasant smells:

1. Place several lemon slices in a cup, then

heat with high Micro Power for 2-3 min.

2. Put some orange peel into Air Fryer

Microwave, and then heat them with high

Micro Power for 1 minute.

Tips for cleaning

If the seal of the Air Fryer Microwave is dirty, it

may stop the door from closing properly. Keep

the seal clean.

Spicy sauces such as ketchup and mustard,

or salty dishes such as salted meat contain

ingredients that can erode the surface. After

use, you should always clean the oven interior.

Residue of food from spillovers or splatters will

attract microwave energy causing it to burn on.

This could reduce the efciency of the Air Fryer

Microwave and may cause bad odours.

Details for cleaning door seals, cavity and

adjacent parts:

• Exterior: Wipe the enclosure with a

dampened soft cloth

• Door: Using a dampened soft cloth, wipe

clean the door and window. Wipe the door

seals and adjacent parts to remove any

spills. Wipe the control panel with a slightly

dampened soft cloth.

• Interior walls: Wipe clean the cavity with

a dampened soft cloth. Wipe clean the

waveguide cover to remove any food

remnants.

• Turntable / Rotation ring / Rotation axis:

Wash with mild soap water. Rinse with

clean water and allow drying thoroughly.

Note: Do not remove the Waveguide cover

during cleaning.

Make sure the Waveguide cover is installed

correctly and has not been damaged during

cooking.

Servicing

Please check the following before calling for

services.

1. Place one cup of water (approx.150ml) in

a glass measure in the oven and close the

door securely. The oven lamp should go

off if the door is closed properly. Let the Air

Fryer Microwave work for 1 minute

2. Does the oven lamp light?

3. Does the cooling fan work? (Put your hand

over the rear ventilation openings.)

4. Does the turntable rotate? (The turntable

can rotate clockwise or counter

clockwise.)

5. Is the water inside the oven hot?

If the answer to any of the above questions is

no, please check your wall socket and the fuse

in your meter box.

If both the wall socket and the fuse are

functioning properly, contact your nearest

service center.
