Abstract
A clothes dryer capable of providing a dry course suitable for functional clothes, and a control method thereof, the control method including selecting functional clothes as a substance accommodated in a dry tub to be dried; performing a first dry process to dry the functional clothes at a first dry temperature; and performing a second dry process to dry the functional clothes at a second dry temperature higher than the first dry temperature.
Claims11
A method of controlling a clothes dryer, the method comprising:
- selecting functional clothes as a substance accommodated in a dry tub to be dried, the functional clothes comprising at least one of a moisture penetrating and water repellant material and a stretchy material;
- performing a first dry process to dry the functional clothes at a first dry temperature;
- and
- performing a second dry process to dry the functional clothes at a second dry temperature higher than the first dry temperature,
- wherein the first dry temperature is a temperature that recovers a water repellant function of the moisture penetrating and water repellant material,
- wherein the first dry process is performed during a first dry time, and
- wherein the second dry process is performed during a second dry time, and the second dry time is a period of time that prevents the stretchy material from being deformed when the stretch material is exposed to the second dry temperature.
