The goal is to choose the highest temperature possible that doesn't produce artifacts.
First, you have to analyse the tower. Each floor has the according temperature written on it.
Check that the option Use Adaptive Layer is not active. Since release 1.2.4 when a Tower Model is used, the plugin checks if this parameter is not set. If the parameter is set to true then the value is changed and a message is displayed :
This model has been designed to be printed with a 0.4 Nozzle. If you want to use the same model, with a bigger nozzle you can do it by activating the option "Remove all holes" in the Mesh Fixes section.

In this case an erro message is displayed in Cura :
