USER’S GUIDE

FAST, PRACTICAL, FUEL-FREE

SOLAR COOKER

For cleaning and repairing purposes, the tube can be

removed from the rest of the device with the following

procedures:

1. Orient stove into Vertical Position (see “Turn Vertical”).

2. Locate tube release set screws on the under side of

the top bracket.

3. Using a screwdriver, loosen set screws no more than
three rotations counterclockwise.

4. Firmly grasping tube in one hand and bracket in the
other, slide tube out of the bracket by pushing the tube
toward the closed end. Be careful not to force the tube
or knock it on hard surfaces.

5. Repeat these steps in reverse order to put tube

back in place. Don’t forget to tighten the set screws.

To Mount Onto a Tripod:

1. Only use a tripod capable of handling the weight and

torque of the GoSun Stove loaded with food.

2. Locate the tripod mount on the underside of the top
bracket by rotating bracket to the vertical mode (see
“Turn Vertical”).

3. Connect tripod into the 1⁄4 20 female threaded slot.

4. Be sure to tighten securely.

5. Use the tripod’s head to adjust the tilt angle.

At the heart of the GoSun is the evacuated

glass tube. It’s not only a superior absorber

of light, but also a fantastic insulator.

1. Start with locked legs and open reflectors (See “Open

Stove” directions on opposite side of manual.

2. Grip the center of the tube firmly in one hand, and the

bottom bracket in the other.

3. Pull them away from each other until the top and
bottom bracket separate enough to rotate.

4. Twist the tube 90°, then gently release the tube as it

locks in its new place on the bottom bracket.

5. Orient the stove in the vertical position by pointing

reflector tips toward the sun.

WARNING

• Do not boil water or cook food directly in the tube:

always use either the GoSun cooking trough, the

Boiling Insert, or another product specifically

designed for use in the GoSun Stove.

Solar Cooking

Tray Handle

1. Remove from packaging and peel off protective plastic
film on reflectors.

2. Firmly screw the handle onto the cooking tray.

3. Hold the unit in one hand by grasping the central

bracket and open legs (rotate about 120°)

until they are positioned as shown in picture.

4. Lock legs in place on both sides with leg clips.

5. Open reflectors until they stop.

6. Place GoSun Stove on flat surface or securely fastened

when mounting.

1. Rotate the GoSun Stove until the reflectors are facing

perpendicular to the Sun.

2. Stand in front of the device with your head’s shadow
aligned on the tube.

3. Tilt device until the reflectors show only the blue of the

tube. This indicates that the Sun’s rays will all be
directed onto the tube.

The GoSun Stove only has to be readjusted every hour
or so as the Sun moves through the sky.

1. Fill up the cooking tray 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. Ensure the steam vent is unblocked and faced upwards.

4. Insert cooking tray until handle seal interfaces with the

mouth of the tube.

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.

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 imple­ments. The GoSun Stove 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 any exterior
part of the GoSun Stove. However, inner components
can be extremely hot and must be handled with care.

• The GoSun Stove’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 Stove
will be most efficient in the spring and fall. It will not

work in the shade.

• Applying aluminum foil, oil and butter to the cooking
trays before adding food helps to prevent it from
sticking to the steel surface as it cooks.

• Heat is generally distributed evenly to food in the tube
but foods at the end of the tray (away from handle) tend
to cook better than foods near the tubes 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 Stove tends to trap 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 an opening near the hang and drain

the fluids periodically.

• Sausages that curl when heated should be cut in half to

prevent them from getting stuck.

COOKING TIPS

7

1. Allow the device to completely cool down out of the
Sun — this can take over an hour.

2. Screw the cleaning scrubby tool to the far end of
cooking tray (leave handle in place).

3. Fill the tube with about 0.5 liters or 8oz of water and
a squirt of dish soap.

4. Insert cooking tray in cool tube and twist in a

clockwise direction while plunging up and down.

5. Rinse tray and tube as needed with water (tube must

be cool).

CLEANUP Maintenance

WARNING

• Do not use harsh abrasives, caustic cleaners or oven
cleaners on this device.

1. The stainless steel cooking tray can easily be cleaned by
hand; it can also be cleaned by unscrewing the wooden
handle and placing the tray in the dishwasher.

2. It is recommended that you clean the inside of the glass

tube after every three uses to prevent build-up of grease

or food matter, which can affect the flavor of food.

3. Clean the cooking tray after every use, clean the
tube when needed and only after it has cooled down.

4. If the reflectors become deformed due to an impact

or other accident, they may be returned to their original

shape by bending by hand. A printable reflector is
available at (http://gosunstove.com/reflectorprofile) and

can be cut to check the shape.

5. If the GoSun cooking tray becomes deformed after

extensive use and becomes noticeably harder to insert

into the tube, it can be remedied by squeezing the tray

by hand.

6. If the evacuated tube breaks, it can be removed and
replaced by following the “Tube Removal” Section on

the opposite side. The GoSun Stove uses the best
evacuated tubes available on the market, however if

they are damaged, a barium layer will oxidize and a
white film will appear on the inside of the outer tube,

indicating that the tube should be replaced.
