Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0593876A1] To provide an apparatus for rinsing dishes (15) with which the article (15) to be rinsed can be cleaned, in a simple way, very quickly but without reducing the hygienic cleaning action, even by the user of drink-dispensing machines himself, and in which the water and energy requirement is kept as low as possible and the emission of chemicals is avoided as far as possible, the apparatus is a mini-dishwashing machine (1, 1', 1'') with a program-control device (14), the program-control device (14) containing a rinsing program consisting of the subprogram sections "First application of water-permeated steam to the article (15) to be rinsed", "Application of hot water mixed with cleaning agent to the article (15) to be rinsed", "Second application of water-permeated steam to the article (15) to be rinsed" and "Cooling of certain areas of the article (15) to be rinsed"; it being possible for a subprogram "Clear rinsing" to be optionally inserted into the rinsing program before the subprogram "Cooling of certain areas of the article (15) to be rinsed" and/or a subprogram "Drying" to be optionally added to the rinsing program after the final subprogram, and a separate container (20, 30, 40, 50) being provided for any liquid used in the respective subprogram, in which containers the liquids are permanently held on standby in the switched-on state of the apparatus. <IMAGE>
