Dishwashng Facilities

The dish machine should be serviced. The machine is capable of operating as a high temperature and low temperature machine. The plate temperatures are just below 160 F (by thermal test strip). The low temperature indicator light suggests that the unit is operating in low temperature mode. However the inspector could not obtain a reading on the chlorine test strip. It may be that the dish machine simply needs to be primed. A three-basin sink is available for proper cleaning and sanitizing.
