3717-1-04.4(J) / Mechanical warewashing equipment - wash solution temperature.
Critical CorrectedDuringInsp The wash solution in the spray type warewasher is not being maintained at the proper temperature. OBSERVED THE HOBART DISHMACHINE TO NOT HAVE A HIGH ENOUGH WASH WATER TEMPERATURE WHICH SHALL BE 120 DEGREES F.
To ensure proper cleaning and sanitization, the temperature of the wash solution in spray type warewashers that use hot water to sanitize may not be less than: (a) For a stationary rack, single temperature machine, 165°F; (b) For a stationary rack, dual temperature machine, 150°F; (c) For a single tank, conveyor, dual temperature machine, 160°F or (d) for a multitank, conveyor, multi-temperature machine, 150°F. The temperature of the wash solution in spray-type warewashers that use chemicals to sanitize may not be less than 120°F. THE RINSE TEMPERATURE IS REACHING 130 SO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE WASH CYCLE TO ENSURE IT REACHES A MINIMUM OF 120 DEGREES. AS WE RAN THE MACHINE, IT SLOWLY CLIMBED TO THE PROPER TEMP.
