CRITICAL TEMPERATURE CHART
Some foods favor bacterial growth and require strict temperature control. Examples of these are meat, poultry, eggs, seafood, dairy products, cut melon, raw seed sprouts, garlic-in-oil mixtures, cooked rice and potatoes. Toxins are poisons produced by bacteria that can cause foodborne illness. Some toxins may not be destroyed by boiling.
TEMPERATURE GUIDELINES
REHEATING: Reheat food to a minimum temperature of 165°F / 74°C Food must reach temperature within 2 hours Never let temperature fall below 135°F / 57°C
HOT HOLDING: Temperature: keep food 135°F / 57°C or above
- Stir hot food frequently
- Take actual food temperature; do not rely only on a thermostat setting
- Check temperature every 2 hours
- Do not use hot holding equipment to heat food
DANGER ZONE ! Temperature: 41°F to 135°F / 5° to 57°C Potentially hazardous foods exposed to this temperature range for more than 4 hours are not safe to eat.
COLD HOLDING: Temperature: 41°F / 5°C or below
- Keep food covered
- Take actual food temperature; do not rely only on a thermostat setting
- Check temperature every 2 hours
- 35°F to 38°F / 2°C to 3°C is the ideal air temperature
FREEZER: Maintain air temperature at 0°F / -18°C or below
- Some bacteria may not be killed at even the lowest temperatures
STORING, PREPPING & HANDLING
RECEIVING:
- Check temperature of food upon receipt and reject any potentially hazardous foods out of acceptable ranges
- Put perishables away promptly
Refrigerated Food (Temperature: 41°F / 5°C or below Frozen Food (Air) Temperature: 0°F / -18°C or below
STORING:
- Use open shelving
- Keep foods in multiple locations throughout a cold storage area; temperature may not be uniform
- Comply with state time standards (if dry goods a maximum for dry food shelf at 50°F / 10°C above).
Dry Storage: 50°F to 70°F / 10°C to 21°C Refrigerator (Food) Temperature: 41°F / 5°C or below Refrigerator (Air) Temperature: 38°F / 3°C or below Deep Chiller (Air) Temperature: 32°F / 0°C or below Freezer (Food & Air) Temperature: 0°F / -18°C or below
THAWING / PREPPING:
- Do not thaw frozen food at room temperature
- If you thaw in a microwave, immediately begin cooking the food afterwards Under Running Water (Water Temperature): 70°F / 21°C or below In the Refrigerator (Air Temperature): 38°F / 3°C or below
COOLING: From Hot Temperatures: Cool to 70°F / 21°C within 2 hours, and down to 41°F / 5°C or below within a total of 6 hours (from start)
- Do not cool food at room temperature
- Divide food into small units or use a shallow pan
- Use an ice bath or blast chiller as haste on cooling

FAQs
How do I set up the Salter Pro-Helix Mechanical Scale for the first time?
Before using the scale, remove the plastic key from the bottom to release the weighing mechanism. Place the scale on a hard, level surface and allow it to adjust to room temperature. Perform several weighing cycles, stepping on and off the scale, to settle the internal mechanism. Finally, adjust the pointer to zero using the Zero Adjust Knob.
Can the scale be used on carpeted surfaces?
For accurate readings, the scale should be used on a hard, level surface. Using it on a carpet can lead to incorrect weight measurements due to the uneven surface.
How do I recalibrate the scale?
After several uses or if the scale has been moved, recalibrate it by setting the pointer back to zero using the Zero Adjust Knob. This may also be necessary after the scale has undergone temperature changes.
How accurate is the Salter Pro-Helix Mechanical Scale?
The scale is designed for high precision and accuracy, measuring weight in 1-pound increments. However, like any mechanical scale, slight variances can occur.
Is the scale waterproof?
The scale is not waterproof. It should be kept in a dry area and should not be submerged in water or exposed to excessive moisture.
How do I clean the scale?
Clean the scale with a soft cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface and internal mechanism.
What should I do if my scale is not providing consistent readings?
Ensure the scale is on a level surface and recalibrate it to zero. Also, check if the scale is at room temperature as extreme temperatures can affect its accuracy.
Can the scale measure in kilograms?
Yes, the dial on the Salter Pro-Helix Mechanical Scale features both pound and kilogram measurements for versatility.
How do I make a warranty claim?
If you encounter issues covered under the 5-year limited warranty, contact Taylor Precision Products with proof of purchase. The warranty does not cover damages from misuse or unauthorized repairs.
Can the scale be used by children?
Yes, children can use the scale, but supervision is recommended to ensure they stand still and centered on the scale for accurate readings.
How often should I perform the weighing cycles for calibration?
It's recommended to perform several weighing cycles when the scale is first set up, moved to a new location, or experiences significant temperature changes.
How do I know if my scale is level?
You can use a standard level tool to check if the surface under your scale is flat. Alternatively, consistent readings when stepping on the scale in different positions can also indicate that it is level.
