Abstract
Disclosed is a washing device. When instructions are individually and/or collectively executed, at least one processor may cause a washing device to perform a first number of agitation cycles during a first washing section and a fabric loosening cycle during a second washing section in a normal mode to perform washing, perform a second number of agitation cycles different from the first number during the first washing section and perform a soaking cycle during at least a portion of the second washing section in an energy-saving mode to perform the washing.
Claims20
A washing device, comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry,
- wherein, at least one processor, individually and/or collectively, is configured to execute the instructions and to cause the washing device to:
- perform a first number of agitation cycles during a first washing section and a fabric loosening cycle during a second washing section in a normal mode to perform washing,
- perform a second number of agitation cycles different from the first number of agitation cycles during the first washing section and perform a soaking cycle during at least a portion of the second washing section in an energy-saving mode to perform the washing.
A method of operating a washing device, comprising:
- performing a first number of agitation cycles during a first washing section and a fabric loosening cycle during a second washing section in a normal mode to perform washing;
- and
- performing a second number of agitation cycles different from the first number during the first washing section and performing a soaking cycle during at least a portion of the second washing section in an energy-saving mode to perform the washing.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, of a washing device, individually and/or collectively, cause the washing device to perform operations comprising:
- performing a first number of agitation cycles during a first washing section and a fabric loosening cycle during a second washing section in a normal mode to perform washing;
- and
- performing a second number of agitation cycles different from the first number during the first washing section and performing a soaking cycle during at least a portion of the second washing section in an energy-saving mode to perform the washing.
