2 Mirror Assembly 1 Build the outer frame from N2 and N3. Predrill holes and screw the corners together. Use 8x 3.5*40screws for this process. A proper wood glue can also do the job. 730 N3 N2 N N3 Drill a 8.5mm hole 420mm from the edge of N2. Place a bolt through the hole on K3 and N2. Fasten K3 to N2 with 3 screws. Unscrew K3 from N2 and remove the bolt prior to attaching the mirror foil. N2 420 K3 N2

3 Mirror Assembly 3 Place the mirror foil on the table with the most reflective side down. Place the frame on top, trace its outline on the foil then cut out. Indicate which sides on foil and frame that belong together. 4 Draw a line around the frame on the table. Place some tape upside down centered along the two parallel lines having the same length as N3. Place the foil, with the reflective side down, with its edges centered on the tape. Place the frame on top of the mirror foil with correct edges aligned.

4 Mirror Assembly 5 Lay the wood frame on top and wrap the tape tightly around the frame center outward Repeat step 4-5 for N2 parallel sides. Finally tape some gaffa tape on top of the transparent tape and use a stapler to ensure it stays fastened to the wood frame. 7 K3 Then fasten K3 back on the woodframe.

5 1 Lay the timbers flat on a table and join them together as shown on the image below. Use 16 screws for fastening. J4a J6a J4b J6b up J3 J3 J1a J1b 668

6 2 Attach two wheels at the edges of J1a. Then do the same for J1b. J1a 3 Connect J4a and J4b with J5 and 8 screws. Then connect J1a and J1b in the same manner. 774 J5 J1a J1b J4a J4b

7 4 Find a spot for the cooker that is horizontal, use a bubble level to check the ground is horizontal. The diameter of the area should be a minimum of 1200mm. Indicate the center for placing the cooker. 1200mm 5 Drill a 12mm hole through J5 and J9. Fasten the cooker to the ground by placing the center pole (E2) through J5 and J9. Then hammer it further through the ground. E2 J5 J9

8 6 Draw a line from the upper line on J6a connecting through the hole on J3 J6a J3 7 Fasten K3 to J6a and J3 with a couple of screws so it is centered on the line drawn in step... On the other side of J3 drill the 8.5mm hole further through K3. J6a K3 K3 J3 J3

9 8 At a distance of 155mm from the center of the hole on K3 drill another 8.5mm thick hole. K3 155 mm 9 Remove K3 prior to attaching the cloth. Attach the protective cloth to the cooker with a stapler. Then fasten K3 on top of the cloth.

10 10 To make the roof, first make the frame Connect two N5 pieces with a hinge (G2). Attach it on one end of J2. Connect another two pieces of N5 with a hinge and attach it to the other end of J2. Place a stabilizing piece N1 between the upper N5 pieces. Finally staple the cloth H3 on top of the frame. N5 N5 N5 N5 11 J2 Fasten J2 to J4a and J4b. J2 J4b J4a

11 12 Place L2 on L1a, 20 mm from the edge, and screw the two parts together. On the other end of L1a fasten J7 with wood glue. Do the same for L1b. L2 20mm L1a/L1b J7 L1a/L1b 13 Drill a 8.5mm hole through J7 and L1a. The hole should be on the center of J7. Do the same for L1b. J7 L1a/L1b

12 14 Attach J8 to L1a 140mm from the hole you just drilled. J8 L1a Then drill a 11.5mm hole on J8 with a depth of 20mm. It should be distanced 15mm from the edge. Screw in the screw in sleeve (D3) into the hole on J8. 15 J8 L1a

13 16 Attach the arms L1a and L1b to the sides of the cooker using two bolts L1b L1a 17 Use bolts and washers in between to attach K4 to J8 and K3. Drill a 8.5mm hole Through the the spacer N6 and put it on the bolt protruding from J3. K4 K4 J8 N6 J3

14 18 Then fasten the mirror to the cooker at the bolts going through J3. Tighten the frame Together using locking nuts on the bolts. K3 is attached at K4 with bolt and locking nut. Do not tighten K3 and K4 too hard as the bolt has to move rather freely when using the Cooker. K3 K4 K4 J3 J3

15 Solar Cooker Assembly 19 Build the foil frame by joining K1 and K2 at right angles. Use 8*A2 screws for this process. K1 K2 K2 K1 20 L1 is screwed onto the center and outer side of K2. L1 K2 L1 K2

16 Solar Cooker Assembly Attach the foil to the frame with the structures facing downwards (The structures are on the side which is most rough). Use a stapler to attach the foil to the frame. Drill a hole on the top side of the frame centered on K1. Tie a rope through it and let the other end be pulled thrrough the hole on J2. The rope is fastened to a screw on J4a for adjustment of frame elevation height J2 J4a K1

17 Solar Cooker Assembly 23 Place the supporting rod(e1) on J6, then the cooking plate and finally a pot, that should be black at the bottom. It will i 24 Make a mirror from an aluminium plate with a reflecting foil taped on top. Attach it to J4a at an angle that allows you to view the bottom of the pot while cooking. J4a

18 Solar Cooker Assembly 25 Your cooker is now ready for use. It is recommended to insulate your pot from the sides by wrapping it with a pillow or thick cloth. Information i Heliac ApS Savsvinget 4 DK-2970 Hørsholm Denmark Web: Mail: info@heliac.dk Phone:
