# One may not wash one's entire body or even a majority of one's body in hot water on [[Shabbat]], even if the water was heated before [[Shabbat]], and even if he does one body part at a time. The same is true of pouring hot water over oneself <ref>Rambam 22:2, Tur and S"A 326:1 based on that opinion of Rabbi Yehuda in Shabbos 39b. Mishna Brura 326:2 adds from the Magen Avraham 326:2 that the same is true for more than half of the body. Shemirat Shabbos Kihilchita 14:1, Aruch Hashulchan 326:2, Kitzur S”A 86:1 and Yalkut Yosef 326:1 agree. </ref>

# Many water heaters or boilers are made so that automatically when hot water is removed cold water is added. If this is the case, it’s forbidden to remove hot water from the water heater, even if the water heater is turned off, because doing so will heat up the cold water which is added (which entails a violation of [[Bishul]]).<Ref> Shemirat [[Shabbat]] KeHilchata 1:39 </ref>
