Introduction
The HL400 is designed to heat your meal using conduction heating. This method
requires 45 – 90 minutes to achieve proper serving temperatures but,
conduction heating allows the HL400 to thoroughly and evenly heat your meal
without cold or hot spots and maintain your meal’s moisture. When your meal
has finished its heating cycle the HL400 will hold it at a pathogenic safe
serving temperature for several hours so that your meal is ready to serve when
you are ready to eat. This means you can put your meal into the HL400 in the
morning and it will be ready for your lunch break at noon, or 12:30 or 1:00
or… whenever. Simple convenience.
The HL400 works best with frozen or refrigerated prepackaged meals and cold
leftovers in sealed containers. But, it’s your HL400 so you can use it for any
meal you like. Just remember: ALWAYS check your meal to ensure it has reached
a safe serving temperature before consuming.
The HL400 uses Smart Shelves, a technology we developed to provide you with
hassle free meal preparation. A Smart Shelf combines conduction heating with a
microprocessor to eliminate the need for buttons, switches and timers. Each
Smart Shelf is independently monitored and controlled so that when you place a
cold meal in the HL400 it is detected and the heating cycle is automatically
started. The Smart Shelf will monitor the meal during the heating cycle
applying enough heat to maintain a pathogenic safe temperature but not enough
heat to break the seal on the meal and drive out moisture (and taste). Once
your meal has finished its heating cycle, the Smart Shelf will continue to
apply heat in order to maintain a safe serving temperature for several hours.
Stackable Design – Your new HL400 was designed so that you can stack 2 units
and save valuable counter space while increasing capacity.
Quick Start Guide
Unpack:
- Cut packaging tape and open the top flaps of the shipping box.
- With flaps open, carefully flip the box up-side down onto a counter top.
- Carefully lift the box upward, sliding the box off the HL400.
- Remove the remaining packaging materials from around and inside the HL400 unit and store them with the box.
Important: Keep the original shipping box and packaging material in case you need to ship the HL400
Plug In + Turn On:
- Plug the HL400 into a standard 3-prong, grounded, 110V wall outlet.
- Flip the power switch to the ON position.
The HL400 will run a quick start-up light check – RED lights for 1 second,
BLUE lights for 1 second then a pulsing RED light when a Smart Shelf enters
power-save mode and is ready to accept a meal. If the Smart Shelf is below
room temperature it will have a solid BLUE light, indicating that it is in
Warm-Up mode and not ready to accept a meal.
Warm Up:
After the HL400 has been turned on, the unit may require a few moments to
warm-up and normalize the temperature of all the Smart Shelves. This process
usually takes 1-2 minutes. During this time the Smart Shelves will display a
solid BLUE light, indicating it is in Warm-Up mode and not ready for a meal.
Warm Up Completed:
The HL400 warm-up cycle will be complete when all the Smart Shelves display
RED lights. Do not load any meals in the HL400 until the warm-up cycle is
complete for all Smart Shelves.
Instructions for Use
Usage Tips:
All references to the HL400 also apply to the HL800
The HL400’s door must be closed for it to correctly operate.
CAUTION: Liquid based meals (soups, chili’s, stews, etc…) may be very HOT when
removed from the HL400.
Make sure your meal is centered on the Smart Shelf and that the bottom of the
meal has the maximum possible contact with the Smart Shelf’s heated surface.
For best results, a meal should be cold when placed on an empty RED Smart
Shelf. A cold meal will be quickly recognized and the heating cycle started
Do not pierce the top plastic film on a prepackaged meal. The HL400 works best
when the seal remains intact.
If using plastic, air-tight food containers for reheating left-overs, ensure
that the lid is securely sealed to the container.
A variety of container materials will work and are safe to use with the HL400
. Plastic, Aluminum, Glass and Paper based packaging will work, provided the
package is sealed with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or a lid.
For best results, we recommend that any container used with the HL400 have a
flat bottom surface. A flat bottom surface provides the best contact with the
Smart Shelf and will ensure the greatest amount of heat will be transferred
into the meal.
Allow additional time for frozen meals of thickness greater than 1″. Always
check a meal for proper temperature before consuming.
If paper meal boxes are sticking to the metal heated surface of a Smart Shelf:
remove the meal from the paper packaging and place the meal directly on the
Smart Shelf or, place a piece of wax paper (or similar) between the Smart
Shelf and the bottom of the meal to prevent the paper packaging from sticking
to the Smart Shelf surface.
To Use Your HL400 :
- Place a single, frozen or refrigerated prepackaged meal or leftover container on an empty RED Smart Shelf. The Smart Shelf will turn BLUE indicating that your meal is heating.The Smart Shelf will turn RED when your meal’s heating is complete. Your meal will then be held at pathogenic safe serving temperature until you are ready to eat.
- Remove your meal and enjoy!
Notice: Heating time will vary based on the size of the meal. Most meals will complete in 45 – 90 minutes.

Usage Guidelines
We Recommend You Observe the following items:
For indoor use only.
Do not stack units more than two high.
Keep away from drafts and air vents.
Do not touch a Smart Shelf’s heated surface when loading or unloading a meal.
Do not hang on the doors or attempt to lift the HL400 using the doors.
Do not modify the HL400’s power cord plug to fit into a non-grounded outlet.
Do not use with a damaged power cord or plug
Do not unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord.
Do not allow children to play or climb on or around the HL400.
Do not use for any purpose other than what is stated in this manual.
Turn unit power off using the power switch prior to unplugging.
Do not power wash or hose down the HL400.
Cleaning Instructions & Tips
Turn the power off, unplug the unit and allow it to cool to room temperature
before cleaning.
Use a soft, damp cloth or paper towel and a mild cleanser (if needed) to clean
surfaces.
Do not use bleach, ammonia, or petroleum based cleaners as they may damage the
HL400’s polycarbonate doors or Smart Shelf frame.
