Section 3: Safety

Implementation with any one of our

products requires a thorough understanding of

factory recommendations; complete knowledge

of this Operators Manual is recommended.

Important Message

Failures to adhere to the listed safety

precautions may result in severe personal

injury or even death. Personal, unauthorized

service or repairs to this unit may result in

inadvertent damages, and excessive service

repair expense.

Visual Inspection

As a good practice, please take time to

periodically inspect components for

unforeseeable issues that may arise due to

wear or damage (e.g. Water lines, supply

hoses). Hoses can be an obstacle resulting in

tripping and/or falling hazards that result in

injury. Always work carefully around hoses

avoiding injury to anyone within direct and/or

indirect contact.

Water can wreak havoc with

compromised systems, especially with

unprotected surroundings like electrical

receptacles that are unprotected by ground

fault circuit interruption (GFCI). Worn out

extension cords can lead to electrical shock

when exposed to water.

Water/ Temperature

Do not operate the STLHRwith water

temperatures above 120°F (48.9°C).

Batteries

The Pro-Control is designed for non-

rechargeable batteries. Regular “C DRY CELL

BATTERIES" can be exposed to some water for

a short period of time: If this is the case, make

sure batteries are completely dry before

inserting into the Pro-Control Battery Case.

Never change or remove the batteries

when water is present. Find a dry, clean area

when replacing batteries. Since the Pro-

Control is always around water, never

substitute "DRY CELL BATTERIES" for any

rechargeable batteries i.e. li-ion; use of

Professional Alkaline Batteries is suggested.

If water enters into the Pro-Control

Housing, discontinue usage immediately.

Allow unit to air dry for 2 to 3 hours. If unit

fails to operate correctly, replacement will be

required; this failure is not covered under

warranty.

HRWAND128 “WSF128-169

Portable Wandstation”

Never directly point the wand at

anyone, for any reason. Never insert the Wand

Tip into any orifice of any food dispensing

device while beaters are in motion and/or

electrically powered food equipment that may

allow access to electrical circuitry/

components. When possible, always power off

equipment before servicing to avoid

electrocution/ damage to device.

An audible “BEEP” may also accompany many of the Status Indicator LED patterns.

Audible sounds indicate to the end users that some kind of action may need to be taken

e.g. place soft serve machine in “WASH MODE”, pause cycle for full teardown of the soft

serve machine, batteries need to be replaced, some error needs to be resolved before

operations can continue.

Section 16: “Pro-Control LEDs”includes a table that breaks down the different

patterns of the Status Indicator LEDs, along with descriptions and specific actions that

may be required by the end user.

A unique function of the Status Indicators helps with registering/reading a “TOKEN

TAG”. The Status Indicators will “BLINK” out the number of cleaning/sanitizing cycles

stored inside the Pro-Control when enabled.

For instance, the “GREEN LED” will represent the hundredths place, the “YELLOW

LED” will represent the tenths place and the “RED LED” will represent the ones place (

e.g.

136 stored cycles is represented with 1 Green blink, 3 Yellow blinks and 6 Red blinks,

indicating 136 available cycles are stored inside the unit

Section 6: LEXX™ Cups and Gallon Concentrate

“LEXX™Liquid Sanitizer and Cleaner

Concentrate”is the steam engine behind the

Hydra Rinse™Process. It’s naturally derived

ingredient provides for incredible efficiency, it also

has no negative impact on product mix or residual

taste when used as directed. Not only is it

tasteless, it doesn’t require rinsing after

application. LEXX’s ability to remove and prevent

Milkstone will be evident with every application.

The Hydra Rinse™System requires two

different products of the same formulation. The

“LEXX™ CUPS”, which come 72 per box provide for

36 automated cleaning cycles; one cup for

cleaning and one cup for sanitizing.

Within the box of “LEXX™ CUPS” is a 36 cycle

“TOKEN TAG”. You register the cups to the “Pro-

Control” using the included “TOKEN TAG”. This

step ensures the Hydra Rinse™Process is using the

specific cleaner/sanitizer it was created for; end

user safety, cleaning and sanitizing results depend

on LEXX™ Liquid Sanitizer and Cleaner

Concentrate.

There is also the 1 gallon version of LEXX™

Liquid Sanitizer and Cleaner Concentrate. The 1

gallon container directly attaches to the

HRWAND128 “WSF128-169 Portable

Wandstation”.

The HRWAND128 will be used to perform

many of the cleaning/sanitizing tasks within the

Hydra Rinse™ Process.

Section 7: Registration of Token Tag

(For reading out number of available cycles, use an old/previous registered “TOKEN TAG”!)

Before the Pro-Control can be put into operation, first install batteries (Section 17:

Battery Replacement) followed by registration of the “TOKEN TAG”. The “TOKEN TAG” can

be found inside the box of HRLEXXCUPS72; more specifically it’s directly attached to the

LEXX™ Liquid Sanitizer and Cleaner Concentrate product insert card.

To register your new box of cups, hold the “TOKEN TAG” up against the “HR

SYMBOL” located on the top cover of the Pro-Control as illustrated; placing the portion of

the Token Tag that contains the printed number of cycles up against the “HR SYMBOL”

i.e. exactly in the center of the “HR SYMBOL” as illustrated.

While holding the “TOKEN TAG” in position, whether for registering or reading, press

and then release the “RESET-CUPS-PROGRAM” button; the LEDs will begin to illuminate.

Once the “TOKEN TAG” has been successfully registered a “BEEP” will be heard, followed

by the “STATUS INDICATORS” blinking out the number of stored cycles within the Pro-

Control.

In order to conclude the “TOKEN TAG” registration process, once again press and

then release the “RESET-CUPS-PROGRAM” button, but this time without the “TOKEN TAG”

present. This will reset the Pro-Control rendering it ready for use.

Section 9: Required Water and Drain Source

WATER SOURCE:

It’s important to have proper water

pressure, water flow and water temperature

(Section 1: Installation Guidelines). To

ensure water temperature stays constant

during the automated sequence, a

“TEMPERATURE MIXING VALVE” (1) is

recommended; must be installed in

accordance with all applicable Local, State,

National and Provincial Codes, Ordnances,

Regulations and Laws.

Once the “FITTING, Y-GHT SPLITTER”

item (17) is snug fitted to the

“TEMPERATURE MIXING VALVE” item (1),

continue to rotate the female GHT fitting

counter clockwise for an additional 90-110°

to insure a good tight fit. Repeat the same

process for installing both the”25 FOOT

POLYURETHANE 3/8” O.D. WATER SUPPLY

ASSEMBLY” item (16) and for the combined

“5 FOOT HOSE ASSEMBLY

EXTENDED

WATER SUPPLY HOSE”item (15).

DRAIN SOURCE:

There are three approved methods for

waste discharge that flows from the “25’

BYPASS SYSTEM DRAIN HOSE”, which

extends from the “BYPASS SYSTEM”.

Unlike discharging waste through the

“FREEZER DOOR” as in manual operations,

the automated sequence of the Hydra

Rinse™Process manages waste by

removing it up through the food product

mix inlet hole(s), completely opposite of

traditional methods.

The uses of a Sink, Drain Inlet, or a NSF

approved floor drain e.g. 1-½” above drain

gate, are all valid options for the waste

discharge.

easy stowing of the “POLYURETHANE

3/8” O.D. WATER SUPPLY HOSE”

Note: There are two mounting holes

(Section 1: Installation Guidelines) 5 7/8”

apart for securing to a vertically solid

surface (anchor bolts sold separately).

HARD NON-POROUS FOOD

CONTACT SURFACES:

The HRWAND128 “WSF128-169

PORTABLE WANDSTATION” can be used

on all hard non-porous food contact

related surfaces of all soft serve equipment

during the Hydra Rinse™ Process. The

Wandstation eliminates the need for

manual mixing of cleaner/sanitizer

solution.

Step 1: Review Section 14: “Details of the Hydra Rinse™ Process” before referencing this document

Step 2: Place machine in “Sleep Mode”. Wait approximately 4 to 5 hours for product to reach temperature >30°F (-1.1°C). Take machine

out of “Sleep Mode” and ensure “Freeze Mode” is disabled for each freezing cylinder. Prepare utility items e.g. buckets, brushes, etc.

Step 3: Remove product mix, mix container(s) and drawers if applicable. Carefully reposition suction tube inlet(s)/adaptor(s) to the back of the

refrigeration cabinet; if there is a top cover(s), clean/sanitize using LEXX™ solution, wipes and/or towels (place on sanitized surface).

Step 4: Place a two bay catch bucket in lower refrigeration cabinet that has either 2 US gallons of warm water (112°F/ 44.4°C) or LEXX™

solution; move end of suction tube inlet(s)/adaptor(s) into empty bay. Turn on “Pump” and “Clean Mode” for each freezing cylinder.

Drain product from soft serve machine into sanitized bucket(s) if intended for re-run (immediately refrigerate). Turn off “Pump” and

“Clean Mode” for each freezing cylinder.

Step 5: Submerse end of suction tube inlet(s)/adaptor(s) into the two bay catch bucket solution. Turn on “Pump” and open the air bleed valve

for each freezing cylinder. Fill freezing cylinder until discharge from air bleeder valve(s) occurs. Close air bleed valve(s), de-activate the

Pump(s), and place each freezing cylinder in “Clean Mode” for ~2 minutes, and then drain. If removing product mix that is frozen

and/or has >= 10% fat content, refill two bay catch bucket with ~2 US gallons of LEXX™solution using wand and repeat STEP 5.

Step 6: Prepare front door: Remove spigot(s), flush air bleeder valve(s) with LEXX™ solution. Also flush and wipe clean all exposed surfaces

of the front door using wand, wipes and/or towels.

Step 7: Clean/flush suction tube inlet adaptor check valve(s) if applicable, and re-submerse in LEXX™ solution. Remove manifold blocks; flush

and wipe clean both the manifold block(s) and the manifold switch mount(s). Install the bypass manifold; remember to fasten the

bypass manifold clip(s) to the manifold block(s) to avoid spillage. Securely connect bypass drain line to an approved drain source.

Step 8: Install the pro-control and engage keeper switch to secure in place.

Step 9: Wet the quick connect on either the pro-control or on the water supply hose with LEXX™ solution and/or wipes.

Step 10:Connect water supply to the pro-control, and insert new LEXX™ cups into the cleaner and sanitizer cup housings (Ensure

tokens are registered and water source is on).

Step 11:Review readiness check list. Press and then release the “ONE TOUCH” button to initialize the pro-control cycle.

Step 12: Open the air bleed valve(s) for each freezing cylinder. Hold open for ~35 seconds, or first audible beep from the pro-control. Release

air bleed valve(s). Turn on “Pump” and “Clean Mode” for each freezing cylinder.

Step 13: Begin cleaning removed components i.e. spigot(s), mix container(s) and drawer(s) if applicable; once the LEXX™ solution is depleted

from the two bay catch bucket, turn off the “Pump” for each freezing cylinder.

Step 14: Pause the pro-control cycle when prompted (sequential audible beeps with all three LEDs Flashing). Take soft serve

machine out of “Clean Mode”for each freezing cylinder; power off the soft serve machine. Disconnect the water supply hose, drain

machine (Section 14 page 31) and then remove the pro-control from the front door. Remove front door and internal

components of the soft serve machine for mechanical scrubbing; clean and then sanitize all components including all front

door components/surfaces; follow manufacturer’s recommended cleaning protocol for the lower refrigeration cabinet (you’ll need to

temporarily remove the bypass system). Re-assemble soft serve machine, and then re-install front door. Re-connect the pro

control, bypass system and water supply hose. Power up the soft serve machine. Press and then release the “PAUSE/PLAY” button

on the pro-control to resume cycle. Hold open the air bleed valve(s) for ~35 seconds. Release the air bleed valve(s). Place soft serve

machine back into “Clean Mode”for each freezing cylinder.

Step 15: Continue to clean and sanitize mix container(s), drawer(s) if applicable and whatever still needs cleaning while the pro-control is

completing its sanitizing cycle.

Step 16:When the “Green LED” is steadily blinking, the pro-control cycle is complete. Take machine out of “Clean Mode” for each freezing

cylinder. Disconnect the right “Manifold Block” from the “Bypass manifold”, and allow solution to drain into an empty bay of the

two bay catch bucket. Place sanitized catch bucket under the pro-control. Remove left cup housing, and temporarily turn on “Clean

Mode” for each freezing cylinder to drain any remaining solution from the machine. Re-attach left cup housing after draining is

completed.

Step 17:Disengage the keeper switch, and remove the pro-control and the bypass system from soft serve machine. Give the lower

refrigeration cabinet a good rinse and wipe down; reassembly soft serve machine front door with spigot(s), lower refrigeration

cabinet components, mix container(s) and drawer(s) if applicable.

Step 18:Wipe down soft serve machine outer shell with wipes and/or toweling. Check and clean all drip tray(s)/pan(s).

Step 19:Reconnect the water supply hose to the pro-control, and run “Self-clean Mode” while cleaning with wipes and/or towel (enter self-

clean mode by holding down both the “One Touch” and the “Play/Pause” buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds).

Step 20:Sanitize bypass manifold, OEM barrel brushes and anything else used during this process with LEXX™ solution before stowing.

Step 21:Add product mix and return mix container cover(s) if applicable; place machine in “Freezing Mode”. If product mix is not being added
