Frequently Asked Questions - T19007 Tower

How do I use the can opener?

Raise the lever, place the can so the lower edge of the lip rests on the drive wheel with the cutting edge inside the lip, then push the lever down firmly. The can opener will automatically stop when the can is fully opened. Raise the lever to release the can; the magnetic lid holder will retain the lid.

What should I do if the can becomes jammed?

Raise the lever to release the can, then reposition the can on the drive wheel and begin the cutting action again in a new place on the can lip.

How do I clean the blade assembly?

Unplug the unit, lift the lever to vertical, and ease the cutting assembly out. Wash in hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. To replace, hold the lever vertical, insert the shaft into the keyhole, push fully, then rotate clockwise to horizontal.

Can I sharpen any knife with this appliance?

The built-in sharpener is for non-serrated blades. Do not sharpen hollow ground blades or serrated edges. Place the heel of the knife into the guide slot on the back, press the lever, and draw the blade towards you with light downward pressure. Repeat 6-7 times.

How do I use the bottle opener?

Hold the bottle and place the cap into the metal hooks on the unit. Pull the bottle down to remove the cap. Only use for metal bottle caps, not screw-off or pull-ring caps. For tall bottles, position the unit near the edge of a worktop.

What safety precautions should I take?

Do not immerse any electrical part in water. Unplug when not in use or before cleaning. Do not leave unattended while operating. Do not open pressurised or dented cans. Keep away from children and pets. Use on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.

How do I register for the extended warranty?

Visit www.towerhousewares.co.uk within 28 days of purchase and register your appliance online to extend the warranty from 1 year to 3 years. You will need proof of purchase.

Where can I purchase spare parts?

Spare parts are available at www.towerhousewares.co.uk. Using non-Tower parts voids the warranty. Contact Customer Support at [phone] for assistance.

The unit is not working. What could be wrong?

Ensure the unit is plugged into an active mains socket with the switch ON. Check that the can is positioned correctly against the drive wheel. Do not use dented cans. If the knife sharpener doesn't work, ensure the knife is correctly positioned against the grinding blade.

How should I dispose of the appliance at end of life?

Do not dispose of it in household waste. Take it to a local Civic Amenity site for recycling. For more information, visit www.recycle-more.co.uk or www.recyclenow.co.uk (UK) or www.weeeireland.ie (Ireland).

The wires in the mains lead are labelled in accordance with the following code:

Blue neutral [N] Brown live [L] Green/Yellow [EARTH]

Plug Fitting Details (Where Applicable).

The wire labelled blue is the neutral and must be connected to the terminal marked [N].

The wire labelled brown is the live wire and must be connected to the terminal marked [L].

The wire labelled green/yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter [E].

On no account must either the brown or the blue wire be connected to the [EARTH] terminal.

Always ensure that the cord grip is fastened correctly.
