23 litre
Air Fryer Microwave
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.
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.
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”.

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.

Safety and Instruction Manual
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, fish, 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 finished, 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 firmness 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 specified
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 microwave 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 first 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 find 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 fit 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 finish
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.

Safety and Instruction Manual
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 fluids 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 efficiency of the Air Fryer
Microwave and may cause bad odours.
•
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.
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.
