Preparing the System
Filling the System
At the beginning of each day or shift, fill the sinks with water that is metered to
approximately the correct operating temperatures:
• Wash sink (115°F / 48°C)
• Rinse sink (75°F / 24°C)
• Sanitizer sink (75°F / 24°C)
All sinks should be filled to, but not above, the “waterline” marks.
Fill the wash sink (the sink with the water jets) with water that is approximately 115°F /
48°C. You can use the hot and cold taps on the faucet to adjust the water to the appropriate
temperature. A good rule of thumb is that the water should be hot to the touch but not so
hot that it is uncomfortable.
Rinse Water
If your method for rinsing wares is of the “submersion” type, fill the rinse sink (middle
sink) with water that is approximately room temperature, 75°F / 24°C. There is no need to
fill the rinse sink if your location uses a sprayer for rinsing wares.
Sanitizer Water
Fill the sanitizer sink (the last sink) with water that is approximately room temperature,
75°F / 24°C.
Your Chemical Company Should Be Aware of the
Following:
The detergent must be low foaming, metal/aluminum-safe and not excessively caustic.
Most standard sanitizers are acceptable.
