Summary
(Must Be Completed Before the Dishroom Is Cleared for Use)
Rule: The dishroom is NOT operationally complete until every section below is verified, documented, and signed.
1. Equipment Installation Verification
☐ Correct machine model installed
☐ Unit level front-to-back and side-to-side
☐ All shipping brackets removed
☐ Access panels installed properly
☐ No visible damage from transit
☐ All safety labels present and legible
☐ Doors, curtains, and tracks operate smoothly
2. Electrical Commissioning
☐ Voltage confirmed at machine
☐ Phase rotation verified (3-phase units)
☐ Amperage draw within manufacturer spec
☐ Dedicated disconnect accessible
☐ GFCI protection verified where required
☐ Emergency stop tested (if applicable)
Any electrical variance = immediate shutdown risk
3. Plumbing & Drain Commissioning
☐ Hot water temperature verified at inlet
☐ Cold water supply verified
☐ Water pressure within spec at peak flow
☐ Indirect drain to floor sink verified
☐ Air gap measured and verified
☐ No leaks at any connections
☐ Floor sinks flowing freely
☐ No wastewater backing up during full-cycle test
4. Booster Heater Commissioning (High-Temp Systems)
☐ Booster installed per spec (integral or remote)
☐ Electrical/gas supply verified
☐ Final rinse reaches 180°F
☐ External final-rinse thermometer verified
☐ Recovery time tested at peak rack rate
5. Chemical System Commissioning (Low-Temp or Wash Chemistry)
☐ Detergent pump calibrated
☐ Rinse agent pump calibrated
☐ Sanitizer pump calibrated
☐ Correct chemical connected to each port
☐ Test strips match chemical type
☐ ppm verified within required range

6. Water Treatment Commissioning
☐ Water hardness tested and logged
☐ Softener installed and commissioned
☐ Brine tank filled and set
☐ Carbon filter installed (if required)
☐ RO system flushed and stabilized (if present)

☐ Air-dry space adequate for peak volume
☐ Clean storage off floor and protected
☐ Non-slip mats installed
☐ Wet-floor signage available
9. Operational Test (Live Load Test)
☐ Machine run at full rack capacity
☐ Rack speed matches dwell time
☐ Dishes exit fully cleaned
☐ No grease residue left on ware
☐ No chemical odor or streaking
☐ No standing water during peak test
☐ No rack jams or conveyor jams
10. Documentation & Turnover Package
☐ Owner’s manual provided
☐ Installation manual provided
☐ Warranty registered
☐ Preventative maintenance schedule issued
☐ Emergency service contacts posted
☐ Chemical SOP posted
☐ Temperature/ppm logs posted
☐ Delime SOP posted
11. Staff Training & Sign-Off
