For which refrigerators do I have to check the temperature?

You must check the temperature of all refrigerators that are used in the school cafeteria.  All of these temperatures must be recorded on a Daily -- Refrigeration Inspection form.  

Examples of refrigeration equipment include reach-in refrigerators in the kitchen, the walk-in, refrigerators located on the serving line, and the milk box.  A thermometer must also be placed in each refrigerator to make it easy to check temperatures.
