Washed utensils and equipment must be rinsed so that abrasives are removed and cleaning chemicals are removed or diluted through the use of water or a detergent-sanitizer solution by using one of the following procedures:

(1) Use of a distinct, separate water rinse after washing and before sanitizing if using:

(a) A three-compartment sink;

(b) Alternative manual warewashing equipment equivalent to a three-compartment sink as specified under WAC 246-215-04305(3); or

(c) A three-step washing, rinsing, and sanitizing procedure in a warewashing system for CIP equipment;

(2) Use of a detergent-sanitizer as specified under WAC 246-215-04570 if using:

(a) Alternative warewashing equipment as specified under WAC 246-215-04305(3) that is approved for use with a detergent-sanitizer; or

(b) A warewashing system for CIP equipment;

(3) Use of a nondistinct water rinse that is integrated in the hot water sanitization immersion step of a two-compartment sink operation;

(4) If using a warewashing machine that does not recycle the sanitizing solution as specified under subsection (5) of this section, or alternative manual warewashing equipment such as sprayers, use of a nondistinct water rinse that is:

(a) Integrated in the application of the sanitizing solution; and

(b) Wasted immediately after each application; or

(5) If using a warewashing machine that recycles the sanitizing solution for use in the next wash cycle, use of a nondistinct water rinse that is integrated in the application of the sanitizing solution.
