and measure the temperature of the water. The temperature must be<br />
permanently recorded and the record initialed.<br />
OR<br />
• Pre-Rinse water temperature:<br />
- Minimum of a weekly check.<br />
- Temperature must be taken at the beginning of the cycle with a<br />
thermometer in the fill sink.<br />
- The temperature must conform to the specifications on the cleaning<br />
and sanitizing chart as filled out by the equipment dealer.<br />

computerized record on the system proving that the temperature was checked. If<br />
the time temperature recorder has “smart” alarms, the alarms must be set<br />
according to the parameters below if you want to eliminate recording any<br />
information manually.<br />
