Safety and Instruction Manual PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

1500W Vertical Rotisserie Grill

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.

Healthier, Easier & Cheaper The Tower Vertical Rotisserie Grill is great for those

looking to put an alternative twist on the traditional

Sunday roast, ideal for chicken and also perfect for

kebabs. Versatile and fuss free, the rotating vertical

rotisserie grill has even heat distribution to ensure

your culinary creations are cooked to perfection. The

direct heat from the rotisserie grill stops your food

from drying out. With the vertical rotisserie, when

you’re cooking meat it’s basted in its own delicious

juices. There’s no thermostatic control for you to

worry about, simply set the timer and the grill will

optimise the temperature to cook your food to

perfection.

3 USING YOUR APPLIANCE

Before first use: 1. Read all instructions in this manual carefully.

The information included in this Manual will

guide you through the versatility of your grill.

2. Place your grill on a level surface such as

a counter top or table. Be sure the sides,

back and top of the grill are at least four

inches away from any walls, cabinets or

objects on the counter or table. 3. Remove all stickers from the grill.

Remove drip pan, rotisserie spit, forks

and kebabs and wash them in warm,

soapy water or in the dishwasher. Dry

thoroughly before placing in the oven. 4. The door handle is removable, in order to

let you take it out and clean the inside of

unit. Before you use the oven, please

assemble the handle yourself by clipping

onto the fixing plates on the glass door. 5. Dispose of packaging in a

responsible manner. 6. It’s a good idea to keep the outer

box for storage purposes.

Functionality: 1. When you are ready to use the grill,

be sure that the TIMER Control is in

the “Off” position and unplugged. 2. We recommend a trial run to familiarise

yourself with your grill and to eliminate any

problem substance or oil that may have

been used for packaging and shipping. 3. Plug the cord Into a 220-240 volt AC outlet.

4. Set the TIMER control to 20 minutes. A small amount of smoke and odour

may be detected. This is normal.

5. To avoid scratching, marring, discolouration

or fire hazard, do not store anything on top

of the oven, especially during operation.

Rotisserie Set: Cooking with the Rotisserie set accessories.

Accessories: Drip tray, spit and 2 x end forks. 1. Put the drip tray into the base, slide spit

through the meat/poultry. If you are

cooking a whole chicken, insert with the

nose facing up and centralise the weight. 2. Secure tightly with the two forks,

using the screws. 3. Insert the spit into the drip tray, align

and lift into the top notch. Ensure

you tighten the screws so that the

bird is secured top and bottom. 4. Close the door. 5. Select the timer to cook for one

hour. If you require more cooking

time after an hour, reset the timer. 6. Remove using oven glove. 7. Allow to rest breast side down for

approx. 10 minutes. 8. Remove the spit. NOTE: When cooking poultry, it may be

necessary to secure legs and wings to

the body with butchers twine to make the

roast as compact as possible for smooth

movement of the rotisserie spit.

13.

Cooking guidelines: • Ensure all meat, fish and poultry is

thoroughly defrosted before cooking.

• Have all foods at room temperature

before adding to the rotisserie. • Cooking times vary according to size,

shape and thickness of the food. Checking

the food during cooking is recommended.

• Using a meat thermometer helps to

ensure your food is cooked thoroughly.

• Choose roasts with an even shape

for best results in the rotisserie. • For any meat that is cut into pieces

– diced chicken, sausages, pork

chops – it is recommended to cook

using the kebab skewers. • If you want to marinate your meat, do so

before adding your meat to the rotisserie.

Tips: To add flavour and help keep your meat moist

try pouring ½ to 1 inch of wine or beer into the

drip pan before cooking. An inch of water in

the drip pan with some added herbs, citrus, or

even juice (such as pineapple for ham) can

add great flavours to your cooking. Mix your favourite herbs with olive oil or melted

butter for basting fish, meat or poultry. Apply

during the last 10 – 20 minutes of cooking time. Allow your meat to cool for 10 – 20 minutes

after removing it from the grill. This allows all

the juice to redistribute and soak into the

meat. This gives you tender, flavourful meat.

Recipes for your Vertical Rotisserie Grill

With the Tower Vertical Rotisserie Grill,

you can make a juicy roast chicken or

other meat, with little effort. The vertical rotisserie is designed to roast meat

so it bastes in its own juices that is to say,

vertically! The fat drains down into a removable

drip tray for healthier-than-oven roasting.

Because you’re roasting the meats yourself,

you can buy a tastier chicken, control the

amount of salt and use the exact herbs

and seasoning you’re in the mood for. The Tower Vertical Rotisserie can be used with
