(2) Preflushing.- Chinaware, toughened glass, glass ware, plasticware and trays should be preflushed as soon as possible after scrapping in order to remove most of the food particles and grease before they are

placed in the dishwashing machine.  A preflush machine may be separate or an integral part of the dishwashing machine.  The temperature of the water for preflushing should be maintained at 115°F + 5°F.

(3) Sorting.- Chinaware, toughened glass, glassware, plasticware and trays of similar sizes and styles should be sorted according to the specific type of tableware items.  The proper and improper sorting procedures are shown in Figures 21 and 22.
