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 nished 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 nished 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 aps of the shipping box.

1

With aps open, carefully ip the box up-side down onto a counter top.

2

Carefully lift the box upward, sliding the box o the HL400 .

3

Remove the remaining packaging materials from around and inside the HL400 unit and store

4

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.

1

Flip the power switch to the ON position.

2

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.
