1. Check the temperature of all refrigerators, freezers, and dry storerooms at the
beginning of each shift. This includes both internal and external thermometers, where appropriate. Refrigerator temperatures should be between 36F and 41F. Freezer temperatures should be between -10F and 0F. Storeroom (dry storage) temperatures should be between 50F and 70F. Record temperatures on the appropriate temperature log and initial. Take corrective actions if temperatures are out of the recommended range. Do not overload refrigerated storage areas, as this prevents air flow and makes the unit work harder to stay cold. Use caution when cooling hot food in the refrigerator, as this warms the unit and can put other foods into the temperature danger zone. Keep units closed as much as possible to maintain proper temperatures. Defrost all units on a regular schedule to aid in proper maintenance and air circulation.
