nRun
hot water until it feels hot (can take a minute or two)
nTest
temperature with cooking thermometer
For the safety of everyone in the
household, especially when it includes infants and older adults with thin
skin, test the temperature of the undiluted hot water as produced by your
heater.
Begin by letting the
water run until it feels hot. This could sometimes take a minute or two, or
more, if the hot water heater is a long distance from your tap.
Once the water is
running hot, place a cooking thermometer under the running hot water tap for
several seconds and record the temperature..
