Abstract

A control method of a laundry treatment apparatus is disclosed. A control method of a laundry treatment apparatus configured to supply steam and/or heated air to an accommodating space accommodating laundry therein, the control method includes a water supplying/heating step supplying water to a water supplying device configured to supply steam and heating the water, a re-supplying step re-supplying water to the water supplying device, a steam supplying step heating the water inside the water supplying device and supplying steam to the accommodating space, with the laundry kept still, a cooling step cooling the accommodating space, and a drying step supplying heated air having a predetermined temperature to the accommodating space.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A control method of a laundry treatment apparatus configured to supply steam and/or heated air to an accommodating space accommodating laundry therein, the control method comprising:
 water supplying/heating step supplying water to a water supplying device configured to supply steam and heating the water;   re-supplying step re-supplying water to the water supplying device;   steam supplying step heating the water inside the water supplying device and supplying steam to the accommodating space, with the laundry kept still;   a cooling step cooling the accommodating space; and   a drying step supplying heated air having a predetermined temperature to the accommodating space.   
     
     
         2 . The control method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a preheating step supplying heated air having a predetermined temperature to the accommodating space, the preheating step performed prior to the re-supplying step.   
     
     
         3 . The control method of  claim 1 , wherein the drying step applies a predetermined motion to the laundry. 
     
     
         4 . The control method of  claim 1 , wherein the water supplying/heating step and the re-supplying step supplies the water to a full-water level of the water supplying device. 
     
     
         5 . The control method of  claim 1 , wherein the re-supplying step includes a heating step heating the water inside the water supplying device to a predetermined temperature. 
     
     
         6 . The control method of  claim 2 , wherein the preheating step supplies heated air to the accommodating space until the temperature of the accommodating space reaches 35° C. to 45° C. 
     
     
         7 . The control method of  claim 2 , wherein the preheating step supplies heated air by a heat pump. 
     
     
         8 . The control method of  claim 1 , wherein the drying step supplies heated air having a predetermined temperature of 45° C. to 60° C. 
     
     
         9 . A control method of a laundry treatment apparatus configured to supply stem and/or heated air to an accommodating space having laundry accommodated therein, the control method comprising:
 first water supplying step supplying water to a water supplying device configured to supplying steam into the accommodating space;   first steam supplying step heating water inside the water supplying device and supplying steam into the accommodating space, with laundry kept still;   second water supplying step re-supplying water to the water supplying device;   second steam supplying step heating the inside the water supplying device and supplying steam into the accommodating space, with the laundry kept still;   cooling step cooling the accommodating space; and   drying step supplying heated air having a predetermined temperature to the accommodating space.   
     
     
         10 . The control method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 first preheating step supplying heated air having a predetermined temperature to the accommodating space, the preheating step performed after the first water supplying step; and   second preheating step supplying heated air having a predetermined temperature to the accommodating space, the second preheating step performed after the first steam supplying step.   
     
     
         11 . The control method of  claim 9 , wherein a predetermined motion is applied to the laundry in the drying step. 
     
     
         12 . The control method of  claim 10 , wherein the first preheating step supplies heated air to the accommodating space until the temperature of the accommodating space reaches 30° C. to 35° C. 
     
     
         13 - 15 . (canceled)
