There was a black substance around the pump and other components resting above the reservoir. On 09/29/25 at 10:05 a.m., the dietary manager was observed to load the dish machine with dirty dishes and run it. The dish machine wash temperature was 88 degrees Fahrenheit, and the rinse temperature was 84 degrees Fahrenheit. The dishes were removed on the clean side and another tray of dirty dishes loaded in. The dietary manager did not sanitize their hands after loading dirty dishes into the dish machine, removing clean dishes from the dish machine, and storing clean dishes in their storage area to air dry.On 09/29/25 at 10:08 a.m., cook #1 was observed to load the dish machine with dirty dishes and run it. Without sanitizing their hands, cook #1 moved from the stacking dirty dishes into a tray and loading the tray into the dish machine to unloading the clean dishes from another tray and storing them to dry. The dish machine was observed through several cycles of wash/rinse with water temperatures eventually at 120 degrees Fahrenheit for wash and 116 degrees Fahrenheit for rinse. During the observations, the dietary manager and cook #1 were observed to handle dirty dishes on one side of the dish machine and then clean dishes on the other side of the dish machine without sanitizing their hands.
