ASK QUESTION TO GROUP: Why should we clean the unlimited self serve machine daily? CONFIRM CORRECT ANSWER:  To ensure no cross contamination  Keep it pest free  To prevent the growth of moulds on and inside the machine causing

contamination of the ice, this can lead to illness.  Our guests may contaminate the machine and ice  Potential risk of prosecution.

EXPLAIN TO THE GROUP: In order to prevent cross contamination of bacteria and viruses by the users of this equipment it is important that these drink dispensers are kept immaculately clean and sanitised regularly.
