For example, when the number of washing times reaches 20 times, the cleaning process is started, or, when the washing machine is used for one month/one quarter, the cleaning process is started.
Alternatively, a detection device for detecting the amount of dirt/mold may be provided in the washing machine, and the washing machine may control the washing machine to perform the cleaning process according to the amount of dirt/mold detected. When the amount of dirt/mold detected by the detecting means reaches a preset value, a cleaning process is performed.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
