Findings included . During observations and record review on (MONTH) 10, (YEAR), at approximately 9:30 AM: 1. Dust and grease were visible on three (3) hood baffles located above the fryer. 2.

The fourth employee stated that the wash temperature should be greater than 180 degrees Fahrenheit and the rinse temperature less than 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
