What is the MINIMUM water temperature for the final sanitizing rinse in a high-temperature dishwashing machine?

The final sanitizing rinse in a high-temperature dishwashing machine should be at least 180°F. For a single-temperature, stationary rack machine, the water must be at least 165°F. Both types of dishwashers must have a built-in thermometer that checks the water temperature at the manifold. This is where the water sprays into the tank.
