OPERATION
WARNING: The area around the solar beam can reach temperatures up to 1,450° F. At this
heat, aluminum pots will burn through, as will gloves and clothing. Be very cau-
tious when operating the Cooker!
The Solar Cooker is best used on a sunny day. Place the Cooker in direct sunlight, out of shadows.
Set the Solar Cooker so that the Reflective Board faces the sun.
Rotate the Handle (4) so that the Reflective Board is reflecting directly at the Pot Holder.
Place an 11” skillet (not included) onto the Pot Holder as a base. Place the object being cooked
into its own pot and put it onto the skillet. An iron skillet will help conduct heat evenly over the
cooking surface.
WARNING: Do not reach over or across the Cooker. The Cooker will be dangerously hot
during operation.
Adjust the light beam by rotating the Handle (4). If you need to adjust the solar beam you
can do so by rotating the Handle (4) or moving the Solar Cooker.
Monitor the Cooker while it is cooking to make certain the object is not overcooked.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When finished using the Cooker, cover the Reflective Board with a
blanket and remove the cooker from direct sunlight.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
After the Cooker has been removed from direct sunlight and has cooled down, clean the Cooker
with soft cloths or with a light spray of water.
Do not use rough cloth or any type of brush or abrasive material to clean the Reflective Board;
this will scratch and ruin the reflective film making the Cooker inoperable.
Do not use any chemicals, solvents or harsh detergents to clean the Reflective Board.
When the Cooker is not being used, store in a dry, clean place out of the reach of children.
