Abstract

A clothes treating apparatus comprises an operation unit, a main course selection unit having a plurality of main courses displayed around the operation unit, a memory to store the number of times by which a main course has been selected through the main course selection unit, a control unit to drive the clothes treating apparatus according to the selected main course. The main course selection unit displays one or more main course which have been selected through the main course selection unit more than a predetermined number of times during a predetermined period; and receives a selection of one course among the one or more displayed main courses according to the rotation of the operation unit. Frequently used courses or configuration factors may be displayed in a course selection unit and a sub-course input unit, thereby shortening the time for operating the clothes treating apparatus.
