Summary

Getting Started with Your All American SUN OVEN

Placement Guidelines

Position the SUN OVEN in a sunny area free from shadows, considering the sun's movement.

Setup and Initial Preparation

Unsnap reflectors, slide into place, and secure with thumbscrew. Remove protective film before use.

Dual-Purpose Leveling Rack

This rack hangs inside or rests on the oven floor to support pots and pans for even cooking.

Key Features and Operation

Wind Resistant Alignment Leg

Adjusts oven orientation to the sun, with stakes for stability in windy conditions.

Focusing the SUN OVEN

Use E-Z Sun-track indicators to aim the oven front towards the sun for optimal heat.

Cooking Procedures and Tips

Preheating the Oven

Preheat the SUN OVEN in direct sun with the door closed and latched for about 20 minutes.

Cooking Process

Place food in the oven, close and latch the door quickly. Use potholders for removal.

Cooking Tips for Moist Results

Reduce liquid in recipes by one-third; natural juices create moist, flavorful food.

Recommended Cooking Pans

Use lightweight, dark-colored pans. Avoid shiny materials like foil, which reduce efficiency.

After Cooking Care

Wipe the oven interior dry after use. Leave the glass door unlatched when not in use.

Maintenance

Clean reflectors and glass with non-abrasive cleaners. Cleanliness is key for optimal temperature.
