    Correction: >> determined that the meat chest refrigeration unit electric plug had been dislodged . The clock in the motor compartment indicated time stopped at 1 : 20 . The time of discovery was 2:45 . All product removed from unit and put into walk in freezer to cool rapidly . Unit plugged in again . CLock reset and running . Unit allowed to cool for 30 minutes and new product in new plans put in the unit
    >> temperatures of the product on the rails of both units both PHF and non PHF were consistant . Product in the interior of the unit was < 40 . Per manager and cook lids left open though the lunch period ( busy day ) . Heat of kitchen noticable on the line , Advised the product must remain < 41 OR 4 hour use period to be used for the PHF product ( like that which is now done for the hot product in the steam wells ) . Turning the units down by one or 2 degrees AND lessening of the product in the containers on the rail will also assist in lessening temperature BUT keeping the lids closed will be the most efficent way of maintaining temperature .
