  • Warewashing - Mechanical Warewashing Equipment, Wash Solution Temperature
    Observation: The wash temperature of the high temperature sanitizing ware wash machine is not meeting the manufacturer's specifications. The minimum temperature was 150 F while the actual temperature was 133 F.

To minimize workload you can move to all single service utensils. Thermolabel turned black indicating dishes are reaching 160 F so wash temperature may be correct but thermometer is not.
