Abstract
A control method of a laundry treatment apparatus (100) is disclosed. A control method of a laundry treatment apparatus (100) configured to supply steam and/or heated air to an accommodating space (12) accommodating laundry therein, the control method includes a water supplying step supplying water to water supplying device (130) configured to supply steam, a step supplying steam to the accommodating space (12) by heating of water inside the water supplying device (130), the step applying a horizontal motion to the laundry for a predetermined time period, simultaneously with the steam supplying, a cooling step cooling the laundry, and a drying step supplying heated air having a predetermined temperature to the accommodating space (12).
Claims13
A control method of a laundry treatment apparatus configured to supply steam and/or air to an accommodating space accommodating laundry therein, the control method comprising:
- a water supplying step supplying water to a moisture generating device configured to supply steam;
- a steam supplying step supplying steam to the accommodating space by heating of water inside the moisture generating device, the steam supplying step applying a horizontal motion to the laundry for a predetermined time period, simultaneously with the supplying steam;
- a cooling step cooling the laundry;
- and
- a drying step supplying heated air having a predetermined temperature to the accommodating space using a heat pump,
- wherein the cooling step is operated after the steam supplying step and prior to the drying step,
- wherein the cooling step supplies unheated air to the accommodating space by using a fan, not the heat pump, for a predetermined time period to lower an internal temperature of the accommodated space and the predetermined temperature of the heated air in the drying step.
A control method of a laundry treatment apparatus configured to supply steam and/or air to an accommodating space accommodating laundry therein, the control method comprising:
- a water supplying step supplying water to a moisture generating device configured to supply steam;
- a preheating step supplying heated air having a predetermined temperature to the accommodating space, the preheating step performed after the water supplying step;
- a steam supplying step supplying steam to the accommodating space by heating of water inside the moisture generating device, the steam supplying step applying a horizontal motion to the laundry for a predetermined time period, simultaneously with the supplying steam;
- a cooling step cooling the laundry;
- and
- a drying step supplying heated air having a predetermined temperature to the accommodating space,
- wherein the cooling step is operated after the steam supplying step and prior to the drying step,
- wherein the preheating step and the drying step supply heated air by using a heat pump,
- wherein the cooling step supplies unheated air to the accommodating space by using a fan, not the heat pump, for a predetermined time period to lower an internal temperature of the accommodated space and the predetermined temperature of the heated air in the drying step.
