Abstract
A method of controlling a washing machine includes (a) supplying water into a tub up to a first predetermined level, (b) rotating a basket so as to wash a filter provided between the tub and an opening formed in a lower portion of the basket by a water stream, (c) supplying water to elevate a level of water in the tub from the first predetermined level to a second predetermined level, and (d) rotating the basket to raise the water between the basket and the tub above the upper end of the basket by centrifugal force and to fall into the basket.
