• Be sure the Grill is securely positioned before loading
Tube with Sliding Tray.

Tube when needed and only after it has cooled down.
• Be sure the Sliding Tray is engaged in the correct
position on the thick aluminum insert if the Sliding Tray
has been fully removed.

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
2
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.

OPEN REFLECTORS3
1. Open Reflectors until they stop against their latches.
2. First time: Remove plastic film from the surface of
the Reflectors.

www.gosun.co 11
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, counter-
clockwise loosens.

GOSUN DIAL5
When properly aligned, both the dome’s glare and
the dot’s shadow will be in the center of the target.

INSERT FOOD
6
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.
• 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.
WARNING

• Exercise caution when pulling out the Sliding Tray.
If pulled open too far, the Sliding Tray is at risk of falling
if unsupported.
COOK FOOD
7
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!
WARNING

www.gosun.co 15
Be sure not to carry Grill while cooking, as steam from the
Cap may be very hot.
• 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.

STEAM / DRIP TRAYS
8
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.

TEMP GAUGE
9
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.

Sunlight Intensity:
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.

11 COOKING TIPS
• 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.
