Abstract
A method for controlling a fabric treatment apparatus including a case that defines treating space, a steam supply device, and a dry air supply device is provided. The method includes a steam mode, a dry mode, and a storing mode. In the steam mode, steam is supplied to the treating space by operating the steam supply device. In the dry mode, dry air is supplied to the treating space by operating the dry air supply device. In the storing mode, a humidity level in the treating space is controlled by operating at least one of the steam supply device and the dry air supply device.
Claims21
A method for controlling a fabric treatment apparatus including a case that defines a treatment space, a steam supply device that supplies steam to the treatment space, and a dry air supply device that supplies dry air into the space, the method comprising:
- initiating a steam mode and supplying steam to the treatment space by operating the steam supply device;
- initiating a dry mode and supplying dry air to the treatment space by operating the dry air supply device;
- and
- initiating a storing mode and selectively controlling the steam supply device and the dry air supply device so as to maintain a humidity level in the treatment space within a predetermined range.
A method for controlling a fabric treatment apparatus, the method comprising:
- initiating a steam mode and supplying steam to a treatment space;
- initiating a dry mode and supplying dry air to the treatment space;
- and
- initiating a storing mode, comprising selectively supplying steam and dry air to the treatment space until a command is received to terminate the storing mode.
A fabric treatment apparatus, comprising:
- a main body that defines a treatment space;
- a door coupled to the main body and configured to selectively open and close the treatment space;
- a treatment unit in communication with the main body, wherein the treatment unit comprises:
- a steam supply configured to supply steam to the treatment space;
- and
- a dry air supply configured to supply dry air to the treatment space;
- and
- a controller configured to selectively operate the steam supply and the dry air supply so as to maintain a humidity level in the treatment space within a predetermined range.
A fabric treatment apparatus, comprising:
- a main body that defines a treatment space;
- a door coupled to the main body that selectively opens and closes the treatment space;
- a treatment unit in communication with the main body;
- at least one set of nozzles provided at a position below a middle of the treatment space, wherein the at least one set of nozzles are configured to receive steam from the treatment unit and to discharge the received steam into the treatment space.
