Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to the laundry treating apparatus. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to a laundry treating apparatus and method for controlling the apparatus, in which an auxiliary-drum is removable from a main-drum. There is provided a method for controlling a laundry treating apparatus, wherein the apparatus may include a main-drum and an auxiliary-drum selectively mounted on or separated from the main-drum, wherein the method may include: an auxiliary water-supply operation for water-supplying washing water into the auxiliary drum; and a provisional spinning operation for discharging initially-remaining water in the auxiliary drum out of the auxiliary-drum by a centrifugal force resulting from a rotation of the main-drum before the auxiliary water-supply operation, thereby to eliminate a measurement error of a laundry quantity in the auxiliary drum due to the initially-remaining water in the auxiliary drum, wherein the initially-remaining water remains in the auxiliary drum prior to a washing operation therein.
