After Gelato Display Cabinet is Clean & Dry
Before reassembling the Gelato Display Freezer, turn on the freezer and wait for the internal cabinet fans to turn on. It is important to check and see that these are working as they are responsible for circulating the cold air in the display.
If any of the cabinet fans are not working, this must be reported immediately to Gino’s Maintenance (a portion of the freezer is unlikely to hold the required temperature for Gelato due to the cold air circulation being affected).

Photograph Freezer Interior & Components
Photographs of the cleaned components of the freezer and the cleaned interior of the cabinet must be taken and posted on G.M Ginos WhatsApp Group.
