  • the control unit 70 determines that the water level of the condensed water tank 60 is lower than the predetermined minimum level L, the second water supplying valve 24 is opened such that water is supplied from the external water supply source to the condensed water tank 60 (94).
  • the second heater 53 of the steam generating unit 50 When the water in the condensed water tank 60 exceeds the predetermined minimum level L, the second heater 53 of the steam generating unit 50 operates (95). Also, the water supplying pump 42 of the steam-purpose water supplying unit 40 operates and the third water supplying valve 43 is opened such that the condensed water is supplied from the condensed water tank 60 to the steam generating unit 50 to generate steam (96). As described above, only the condensed water, which has nearly the same purity as distilled water, is supplied to the steam generating unit 50 when the water in the condensed water tank 60 exceeds the predetermined minimum level L. Consequently, the formation of scale in the steam generating unit 50 is minimized.
  • the second water supplying valve 24 is opened such that external water is supplied into the condensed water tank 60, and thus, the condensed water tank 60 supplies the water to the steam generating unit 50.
  • the steam generating unit 50 supplies steam into the washing tub 11 through the steam supplying pipe 44. While the steam is supplied, the control unit 70 controls the temperature sensor 73 of the washing tub 11 to sense the temperature of the washing tub 11 (97), and determines whether the interior of the washing tub 11 is sufficiently heated to a temperature predetermined by a user or when steam supplying time predetermined by the user elapses (98). This determination depends on the steam supplying condition selectively inputted by the user (for example, the temperature of the washing tub or steam supplying time).
  • the steam supply is stopped. In the event that the temperature of the washing tub 11 does not exceed the predetermined level, or the predetermined steam supplying time does not elapse, the above steam supplying operation controlling process is repeated.
  • the condensed water generated while drying laundry is supplied to the steam generating unit to generate steam, whereby the formation of scale in the steam generating unit is minimized.
  • the external water supply source supplies water into the condensed water tank when the condensed water is not sufficient in the condensed water tank, whereby water is easily supplemented in the condensed water tank.
  • the condensed water is reused in a steam supplying operation that can heat the water, steam the wet laundry and steam dry wrinkled laundry. It is also possible to use and reuse the condensed water, with almost the purity of distilled water, as a supply of water, heated or unheated, to the washing operation, such as during washing or rinsing, using the steam supply system and controlling heat supplied to the water by the steam unit.
