(Embodiment 1)
Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration of a bathroom heater / dryer and its surroundings according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the bathroom heater / dryer 4 is installed on the ceiling 3 of the bathroom 2 of the building 1. When the ventilation operation is performed, the ventilation means 5, for example, a fan motor is operated to suck the air in the bathroom 2 from the bathroom heater / dryer inlet 6 and exhaust the air to the outside through the exhaust duct pipe 7. When the air in the bathroom is exhausted, the air in the living room 9 is sucked from the bathroom inlet 8. In addition, when the air in the living room 9 is sucked, the outdoor air is sucked from the outdoor air inlet 10 and the air is replaced. When heating operation is performed, the circulation means 11 such as a fan motor and the heating means 12 such as a heater or a hot water coil are operated, and the air in the bathroom 2 is sucked from the bathroom heating dryer inlet 6 and passed through the heating means 12. The interior of the bathroom 2 is warmed by warming the air and circulating it through the air outlet 13 into the bathroom 2. In the case of drying operation, the ventilation means 5, the circulation means 11 and the heating means 12 are operated simultaneously to warm the air in the bathroom 2 and increase the amount of saturated water vapor so that the air contains a lot of moisture and exhausts the air. Then, the inside of the bathroom 2 is dried, and the clothes dried in the bathroom 2 are dried. Further, the control means 16 for operating and stopping each means mounted on the bathroom heater / dryer 4 receives an operation mode command from the remote controller 15. Further, when the inspection time approaches, the product main body display means 14 such as an LED notifies the inspection time.

  FIG. 2 shows details inside the control means 16. Product operation control means 17 for controlling each means of the bathroom heating / drying machine 4, for example, a microcomputer and a manufacture date storage means 18 for storing the manufacture date of the product, for example, a microcomputer, and a manufacture date storage means 18 are microcomputers of the product operation control means 17 Needless to say, there is a similar effect even when using the time management means 19 for managing the time, for example, the microcomputer, and the time management means 19 has the same effect even if the microcomputer of the product operation control means 17 is used. Needless to say, it is configured by first power supply means 20 such as a battery or a battery power source for continuously driving the microcomputer until the inspection time.

  In this configuration, when manufacturing a product, the manufacturing date is stored in the manufacturing date storage means 18, and the first power supply means 20 supplies power to the manufacturing date storage means 18 and the time management means 19 until the product inspection time. The time management means 19 accumulates the time and automatically recognizes the inspection time from the date of manufacture of the product. In addition, when the inspection time approaches, the product body display means 14 attached to the bathroom heater / dryer 4 informs the user of the inspection time, so that the user can recognize the inspection time and receive an appropriate inspection for long-term use. It is possible to avoid problems due to deterioration over time even with products that are used.
