What do you do once equipment has been installed?

It must be maintained regularly
Use it immediately without testing
It should be inspected annually
Only clean it when it's visibly dirty

The correct answer is: It must be maintained regularly

Once equipment has been installed, it must be maintained regularly to ensure its safe and efficient operation. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and potential hazards that could affect food safety. By maintaining the equipment as per manufacturer recommendations, food handlers can prolong the life of the equipment and reduce the risk of contamination. This is why the correct answer is A. Inspecting the equipment annually (Choice C) is not sufficient for ensuring the equipment's proper functioning throughout the year. Using the equipment immediately without testing (Choice B) could be risky and may lead to unexpected issues. Only cleaning the equipment when it's visibly dirty (Choice D) is not enough to ensure proper maintenance and hygiene standards.
