If your operation uses a high-temperature machine for dishwashing, what temperature should the water be during the final sanitizing rinse?
  1. At least 180°F
  2. At least 170°F
  3. At least 200°F
  4. At least 160°F
Explanation
Answer: A - If your operation uses a high-temperature machine for dishwashing, the water temperature in the final sanitizing rinse should be at least 180°F. The dishwasher should have a built-in thermometer to monitor the temperature. If the water does not reach the correct temperature, dishes will not be sanitized. However, if the water is too hot, it may vaporize before sanitizing is complete.
