I'm sorry, I'm not quite following:
Employees do clean these machines every day, but because of how it's designed they don't need to do so?
Is this something kind of like: I can change my motor oil every 500 miles my car is driven, but according to the manufacturer I don't need to do so that often?
- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 5y agoNo, the McDonald's machines heat up any leftover milkshake mixture every night to kill all the bacteria in it, then cool it all back down before the morning. If it hasn't been run in the last 24 hours, the machine will refuse to dispense ice cream unless you run the process (which takes a few hours). Non-McDonald's machines work how your imagining: you have to toss the leftover ice cream once it goes bad, disassemble the machine and clean it by hand, then load new ice cream into it.
- joezydeco 5y agoOld machines: The oil is good for 500 miles. It needs to be flushed and replaced every 500 miles. New machines: There's an active oil filter in the car that needs to be turned on every 500 miles. The oil and filter need to be replaced every 5000. The filtering can be done overnight in your garage while you sleep, but if you don't do it before 500 miles the car will shut down until you do.
