Abstract
A method of spraying a treating chemistry into a dispensing dryer in a manner to avoid the pooling and dripping of the treating chemistry.
Claims24
A method for dispensing a treating chemistry in a dispensing dryer comprising a rotatable drum partially defining a treating chamber and having at least one baffle for lifting laundry during rotation of the drum, a door providing selective access to the treating chamber, and a dispensing system having a nozzle for spraying a treating chemistry into the treating chamber to define a spray zone within the treating chamber, the method comprising:
- determining a rotational position of the at least one baffle;
- and
- spraying the treating chemistry based on the determined rotational position.
A method for dispensing a treating chemistry in a dispensing dryer comprising a rotatable drum partially defining a treating chamber and having at least one baffle for lifting laundry during rotation of the drum, a door providing selective access to the treating chamber, and a dispensing system having a nozzle for spraying a treating chemistry into the treating chamber to define a spray zone within the treating chamber, the method comprising:
- providing the at least one baffle in the drum at a location such that rotation of the drum defines a rotational path of the at least one baffle;
- determining a rotational position of the at least one baffle;
- and
- spraying the treating chemistry into the defined spray zone based on the determined rotational position to limit pooling of the treating chemistry on the at least one baffle and prevent dripping of the treating chemistry from the at least one baffle.
A method for dispensing a treating chemistry in a dispensing dryer comprising a rotatable drum partially defining a treating chamber and having at least one baffle for lifting laundry during rotation of the drum, a door providing selective access to the treating chamber, and a dispensing system having a nozzle for spraying a treating chemistry into the treating chamber to define a spray zone within the treating chamber, the method comprising:
- determining a rotational position of the at least one baffle;
- and
- spraying the treating chemistry into the treating chamber based on the determined rotational position such that the defined spray zone does not intersect the door.
