Hot hold unit was not properly functioning during the initial start up of the inspection. This led to foods being stored out of temperature. Manager stated that the equipment is in good repair just the electrical connections were in complications. Manager experimented with hot hold unit and unit is now in working repair. Stated to staff to refuse using hot hold unit when not properly functioning.
