OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PLACE GRILL1
1. Be careful when moving the Grill. Carry by the ends as shown below.
2. Set the Grill on a flat, level surface.
3. The optimal location is open to lots of sunlight. Keep
in mind the Sun will travel east to west, so you’ll want to ensure open access to the Sun as it moves throughout cooking.

OPEN GRILL
1. First use: Remove from packaging.
2. Open Grill by gently pushing Reflectors so they sweep
through the Frame.
3. Be sure to push Reflectors evenly so that they don’t contact the sides of the Frame.
4. Make sure the Reflectors clear the bottom of the Grill when opening.
www.gosun.co

OPEN REFLECTORS3

2. First time: Remove plastic film from the surface of
the Reflectors.

Copyright © 2018 GoSun Inc., all rights reserved
ORIENT TO SUN4
1. Rotate the Grill and Reflectors until the GoSun Dial’s shadow and solar glare are directly in the center ring.
2. Secure the Reflectors in place by rotating the GoSun Dial once clockwise.
3. Rotate the GoSun Dial to tighten or loosen the Reflectors as necessary. (clockwise tightens, counter­clockwise loosens.

1. Place food into one or both Cooking Pans.
2. Optionally, use the Steam and/or Drip Trays
3. To speed up cook times, preheat GoSun Grill to #6
before inserting food. Do not preheat past #6.
4. Place Cooking Pan(s) onto the Sliding Tray.
5. Insert the Tray with Pans into the Grill, until the Cap
rests fully against the front face of the Grill.
INSERT FOOD
WARNING
Do not preheat past #6 on the temperature gauge. It can cause stress on the Tube, known as THERMAL SHOCK, which may weaken it or cause it to shatter.
Do not overload the cooking pans. Many foods expand when heated and can get stuck inside the Tube.

1. Let the Sun do its magic.
2. Check the Cap’s Temperature Probe while cooking.
3. To reduce the temperature or slow cooking times, simply
pull the device out of the Sun’s direct path or close the Reflectors.
4. Close Reflectors or move out of sunlight to prevent overheating when empty.
5. Remember, cooked food can be left in the GoSun Grill to be kept hot and juicy for when you’re ready to eat.
6. Always use a hot pad when removing contents of the Grill.
7. Enjoy!
COOK FOOD
WARNING
Exercise caution when pulling out the Sliding Tray. If pulled open too far, the Sliding Tray is at risk of falling if unsupported.
14
Copyright © 2018 GoSun Inc., all rights reserved
Be sure not to carry Grill while cooking, as steam from the Cap may be very hot.
WARNING
Hot Contents: any item placed inside Cooking Tube can be extremely hot and cause severe burns.
• Use Caution when handling the device and implements. The GoSun Grill can reach temperatures of up to 700°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 the exterior of the tube. However, inner components can be extremely hot and must be handled with care.

1. To separate moisture from food, such as when cooking meats, drop the Drip Tray in the bottom of the Cooking Pan, and place the food on top of it.
2. Rendered liquid will pass through the tray and separate from the food above.
3. For steaming, drop the Steam Tray into the top of the Cooking Pan and place food on top of it.
4. Make sure not to pile food too high on the Steam Tray that it touches the inside top of the Tube.

1. The Temperature Gauge will begin climbing as soon as the Sun hits the Tube.
2. It is recommended to pre-heat to Temp. Gauge #6 before adding food inside.
3. When placing food inside, the temperature reading will initially drop, then plateau and finally climb again.
4. Avoid opening the GoSun Grill excessively, or keeping it open for long periods of time, as that allows heat to escape and can slow cooking times.
5. A meal starting with raw meat is typically done cooking when the Temp. Gauge reaches #3.5. Many meals will be done at #2.5.

COOKING TIMES10
1. The Grill will start heating as soon as sunlight hits the Tube.
2. Cooking times will vary based on the sunlight conditions and volume of food placed inside, but generally we recommend preheating if possible to expedite the process of cooking.
3. Avoid preheating the Grill above #6 on the Temperature Gauge to avoid thermal shock on the Tube.
4. Temperature rises steadily and then tends to plateau once food is placed inside.
5. For fastest cooking times, avoid opening the Grill excessively to check progress. Usually the “smell test” will tell whether the food is cooked yet.

The GoSun Grill’s performance is unaected by ambient temperatures and wind, cooking meals in frigid temperatures just as well as in hot weather. High humidity, pollution, and diused light (generally overcast or “thick” air) can significantly impact cooking times due to light scattering. In humid climates, the GoSun Grill will be most ecient in the spring and fall. It will not work in the shade.

• Heat is generally distributed evenly to food in the Tube but foods at the end of the Sliding 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.
• For a crispier meal, allow the steam to escape by keeping the Cap slightly open and drain the fluids periodically.
• Preheat to Temp #6 to expedite cooking process.
• Use the Drip Trays with meats to lose the fat while maintaining moisture.
• To adapt recipes, cook the part of the dish requiring the highest heat first, before loading in the rest of the ingredients. This will allow you to develop flavor profiles similar to a skillet before loading in food that will cook at a lower temperature.
• Cooked food can be left in the GoSun Grill to be kept hot and juicy for when you’re ready to eat.
• Anticipate the movement of the sun (East to West and Height) as it relates to the intended cook time and serving time. An experienced chef can make dinner, before leaving for work in the morning, by properly orienting the reflectors.
• The GoSun Grill only has to be readjusted every hour or so as the Sun moves through the sky.
COOKING TIPS
20
Copyright © 2018 GoSun Inc., all rights reserved
• Get to know the Temperature Gauge readings and how they relate to cooking time and quality.
• Cooked food will typically both smell dierent and release steam, informing you that it’s time to eat.
• When removing the first round of food, it is good to get in the habit of closing the Reflectors or moving the Grill out of the Sun so it does not overheat when empty.
• The next round of food will typically cook quicker than the first round since the Tube is preheated.

MAINTENANCE
1. Keep surfaces of Tube and Reflectors clean with glass cleaner or mild soap.
2. The stainless steel Cooking Pans, Steam and Drip Trays can easily be cleaned by hand; they can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
3. Clean the Tube when needed and only after it has fully cooled down.
4. You can ‘self-clean’ the Tube and Inserts by leaving the Grill open in the Sun for several hours. The temperatures will climb high enough to eviscerate food residues, as with a self-cleaning oven.
