Use and Care Manual

All references to the HL400 also apply to the HL800
Instructions for Use
The HL400’s door must be closed for it to correctly operate.
Usage Tips:
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.
Allow additional time for frozen meals of thickness greater than 1”. Always check a meal for proper
temperature before consuming.
For best results, we recommend that any container used with the HL400 have a at bottom surface.
A at bottom surface provides the best contact with the Smart Shelf and will ensure the greatest amount
of heat will be transferred into the meal.
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.
If using plastic, air-tight food containers for reheating left-overs, ensure that the lid is securely sealed
to the container.
Do not pierce the top plastic lm on a prepackaged meal. The HL400 works best when the seal
remains intact.
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
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.
CAUTION: Liquid based meals (soups, chili’s, stews, etc...) may be very HOT when removed
from the HL400.
