What this sheet is for

Spot a dish or glass washer that has stopped reaching its own figures on the day it happens. One sheet, front and back, covers a month on one machine.

Who it is for

Restaurants, pubs, cafes and school or care-home kitchens with an undercounter or pass-through dish or glass washer.

How to use it

  1. Copy the wash and final rinse figures from the machine's data plate or manual into the boxes at the top.
  2. Each day, read the gauges or display during a normal cycle and mark whether they match the plate.
  3. Tick the water change, the filters and wash arms, and the chemical levels as they are done.
  4. If a reading does not match, write what you did in the action column and get the machine looked at.
  5. Log every descale, service and engineer visit on the back, with the readings after.

What is on the sheet

2 pages, in this order:

Page 1

Printed under the title: Daily checks on one machine for a month: wash and final rinse readings against its own data plate, water changes, filters, wash arms and chemical levels, with descales and engineer visits at the end.

Its data plate, not ours. No temperatures, pressures or chemical strengths are printed. Copy the wash and final rinse figures from this machine's data plate or manual into the boxes below and check each reading against them: a machine that does not reach them cannot be relied on to sanitise.

Write-on lines: Machine (make and model) · Location · Serial or asset no. · Engineer's number · Wash on data plate · Final rinse on plate · Detergent · Rinse aid · Sanitiser, if chemical

Daily checks — readings as shown on the gauges or display; tick what was done

Questions

Where do the wash and rinse temperatures come from?

From the data plate on the machine or from its manual. They differ between makes, models and machine types, which is why none is printed here. Copy them into the boxes at the top once, and every daily reading is checked against the right figures.

Does this work for a chemical-sanitising machine?

Yes. Write chemical at the top, name the sanitiser, and use the label or strip column to record a test-strip reading of its strength each day alongside the wash reading.

Why is it two pages?

So a whole month of daily checks, and the descales and engineer visits for that month, stay on one sheet printed front and back. Use one sheet per machine.

Know that each bucket, spray bottle and sink was at the strength its label asks for. A solution mixed by eye is a guess; a strip reading is a record.
