Q. do I have to clean the machine after my rental
A. No, you just enjoy the frozen drinks and leave the cleaning up to us!
Q. What kind of power do the frozen drink machines require?
A. Each single dispensing machine requires a 15 amp dedicated 110/115. Electricity is the most important part for a machine to function properly. A 15 amp outlet refers to the size of the breaker that turns the power on and off to the outlet or outlets it supports. Breakers in the breaker box are always labeled with their designated amperage. Dedicated means there are no other items or appliances drawing electricity from that circuit breaker. Common items that draw large amounts of electricity are microwaves, refrigerators, deep freezers, toasters, crock pots, electric food warmers, blow dryers, dishwashers, washer/dryers, pool pumps, and air conditioners.
