**INSERT FOOD

**

1. Fill up the Cooking Tray(a) or Silicone Panst) with food.
2. Do not allow the cooker to preheat in the Sun more than 10 minutes before placing food inside to avoid thermal shock.
3. Insert cooking tray until Tray Handle seals with the mouth of the Tube.
4. Ensure the Tray remains facing upwards throughout use.

WARNING

• Do not insert cold food into a hot Tube. It can cause excess stress on the Tube, known as THERMAL SHOCK, which may weaken it or cause it to shatter.
• Do not overload the Cooking Tray. Many foods expand when heated and can get stuck inside Tube.
• Do not force the Cooking Tray in Tube. It may break the Tube or be difficult to remove.

**COOK FOOD

**

1. Let the Sun do its magic (see “Cook Times”).
2. To reduce the temperature or slow cooking times, simply pull the device out the Sun’s direct path or close the reflectors.
3. Enjoy solar cooked food!

WARNING

• Hot Contents. Any item placed inside Cooking Tube can be extremely hot and cause severe burns.
• Use Caution when handling the device and imple- ments.
• The GoSun Stove can reach temperatures of up to 550°F, and will begin heating up as soon as it is exposed to Sunlight.
• Because of the vacuum insulator, you cannot be burned by touching any exterior part of the GoSun Stove. However, inner components can be extremely hot and must be handled with care.

COOK TIMES
The GoSun Go’s performance is unaffected by ambient temperatures and wind, cooking meals in frigid temperatures just as well as in hot weather. High humidity, pollution, and diffuse light (generally overcast or “thick” air) can significantly impact cooking times due to light scattering. In humid climates the GoSun Go will be most efficient in the Spring and Fall. It will not work in the shade.

COOKING TIPS

• Applying aluminum foil, oil or butter to the Cooking Tray before adding food helps to prevent sticking
• Heat is generally distributed evenly to food in the Tube but foods at the end of the Tray (away from Handle) tend to cook faster than foods near the Tube’s opening.
• Baked foods typically expand considerably (more than twice the uncooked volume), so start with small quantities and work up to the full tube size.
• The GoSun Go tends to trap a large amount of moisture from cooking food and can be used to easily steam vegetables. For a crispier meal, allow the steam to escape by keeping the Tray slightly open. Drain fluids periodically.
• Sausages that curl when heated should be cut in half to prevent them from getting stuck.

HEAT LIQUIDS

1. Rotate Prop Stick to ensure that reflectors remain open.

3. Remove Silicone Cap from Tray Handle
4. Place Silicone Cap onto the mouth of the Tube
5. Place or mount, orienting towards the Sun (next page)

WARNING

• Always Fill to Fill Line. Under-filling causes the Tube to heat unevenly and creates the risk of flash steam when pouring.
• Use Caution When Pouring Hot Liquids. Pouring too quickly may cause hot liquids to rapidly pour out of Tube, increasing risk of burn-related injury.

ORIENT TO SUN

1. Secure the Kickstand to the most acute angle setting and place or mount the GoSun Go so that it stands vertically
2. Rotate the GoSun Go until the GoSun Dial’s solar glare aligns vertically with the target,

2. The stainless steel Cooking Tray can easily be cleaned by hand; it can also be cleaned by placing the entire tray (including the Handle) into the dishwasher.
