Items of plastic material could be melted. Leaves and fruits of fruit-trees or
garden plants within the scope of the reflector could be burnt and turned black.
3. Wear sun glasses because of the danger of blinding.
4. Wear tight, bright clothes. Loose sleeve clothing not recommended because of
an ignition danger.
5. Don't seek the focus location with bare hand - risk of burning. Always use a
suitable object made of metal or wood.
6. Pot handles are heated up to high temperatures. Always use mittens,
preferably of cotton. Artificial fibers are easily melted.
7. The solar parabolic cooker should be operated mostly from behind the
reflector.
8. The solar parabolic cooker should not be left unattended during operation.
9. When not in use, cover SPC or turn its back to the sun.
10. In windstorm or hail, SPC must be removed to a protected area. If not
possible, at least dismantle the reflector and place it upturned on the ground.
11. When SPC is housed behind a transparent screen (window, transparent
plastic wall, etc.), do not keep it turned to the sun because of the risk of damage
to the surrounding objects.
Maintenance
1. The reflecting surface must be kept clean - as to extend the life of the unit and
to not reduce its reflective ability. For cleaning use a soft cotton cloth, ordinary
detergent and lukewarm water.
2. Rotating parts of the SPC must be regularly lubricated.
III. Combined usage with a fireless cooker
A fireless cooker (FC) is the perfect addition to the solar parabolic cooker.
