Comments:
This is a revisit to the new hospital kitchen. Hobart came on 12/14 and fixed the issue with the dishwasher. Problem with the dishwasher was with 4th trap. Also the interior curtains are now the proper length so there is no temperature loss and minimal water spillage. The dishwasher is now operating at or above the data plate specifications of Wash: 150 degrees Fahrenheit, Rinse: 160 degrees Fahrenheit, and Final Rinse: 180 degrees Fahrenheit.

December 12, 2006 (Pre-Opening)


Violation: 1660 - The wash temperature of the high temperature sanitizing ware wash machine is not meeting the manufacturer's specifications. The minimum temperature was 150 degrees Fahrenheit wash/160 degrees Fahrenheit rinse/180 degrees Fahrenheit final rinse while the actual temperature was 157 degrees Fahrenheit wash/145 degrees Fahrenheit rinse/125 degrees Fahrenheit final rinse after several cycles..
Discontinue the use of the ware wash machine until it is working properly. Initiate manual wash, rinse, and sanitize method to properly clean equipment and utensils. To minimize workload you can move to all single service utensils.
Comments:
New dishwasher will not be used at opening until serviced and up to proper temperatures. Current wash/rinse/sanitize methods will be used. Dishwasher also stated to need longer curtains at mouth which will be replaced due to water spillage issue and temperature loss. Shaefer ice cream unit leaving site. Auto shaam hot holder off at time of inspection and traulsen 2 door refrigerator is also off and may be removed. Food grade gloves and hair nets are available. Freezer door bottom (inside walk-in refrigerator) needs to be fixed, dragging a bit. New cutting boards are on order. Other walk-in freezer coving needs to be further sealed.

Comments:
Needed: Site layout/schematics, equipment list of major food service items including model #'s. Equipment list was provided.
This is the second construction site visit and the first official inspection. Progress was going along smoothly at initial visit and that is a reflection on this inspection. There were no apparent problems observed at time of inspection. All major refrigeration walk-in's were running and holding temperature just fine as shown in the temperature list.
All handsinks and service sinks appeared sealed as well as all of the specialized coved flooring. The only problem with the sealing was in the first Walk-In Freezer visited, the sealing along the wall wasn't sticking with adhesive. Project manager said more adhesive will be applied.
They had recently gotten their approval of the fire suppression unit and that building was giving them a temporary occupancy permit. Hot water at randomly sampled handsink was at 110 degrees Fahrenheit. All pipes involved with air gap were cut to slope. Project manager requested 20 handsigns which will be sent out.
Floor outside of main kitchen is being redone to match the flooring in hall, this was stated to be finished within a week. All floors in walk-in's/food service area will be cleaned before next inspection. Towel holders were being installed at each handsink at time of inspection.
In regards to cart spraying area, there was some concern of potential scalding of employees due to fact cart spraying area wall doesn't extend to ceiling. It was stated by project manager that originally the plans called for no wall and that the wall was added not only to keep the water enclosed but also for safety reasons. Stated staff will be trained to wash carts aiming water spray at wall that extends to ceiling and not smaller wall.
Project foreman stated backflow devices on main and individual units. The kitchen will be in operation first with the cafe being in operation a few weeks after with a different inspection required for their construction/pre-opening. As an added not walk-ins will be numerically numbered for organizational reasons.

There was a small fryer fire at 12:30am last night. At time of inspection, remnents of the fire had been cleaned up. It was a small fire, the ansul system wasn't activated, and only a hand-held extinguisher was used. The grease had been changed, all equipment and dishes were washed and sanitized, new gloves put out. There was no food out at the time of the fire. Advise remopping the floor under the fryer.
