On the other hand, when the water pressure display means is provided in the remote control device as in the present invention, a person does not need to twist his body to see the display unit. Therefore, the position of the human body part does not change, and the washing water does not stop hitting the human body part.

The time display means is, by its nature, not only when a person is seated and when he / she is away, that is, both when the sanitary washing device is turned back and when it is positioned in front. It is visible.

When the time display device is provided in the sanitary washing device, the sanitary washing device is attached to the stool and the shape of the sanitary washing device, the sanitary washing device is placed on the back and in front of the sanitary washing device. When facing each other, it is difficult to provide them at positions where the display directions match.

However, when the time display device is provided in the remote control device, the display direction can be changed depending on whether the sanitary washing device is placed on the back or facing the front because the remote control device can be attached anywhere. It is easy to provide them at the positions where they match.

Therefore, when the time display means is provided in the remote control device, it is possible to easily avoid a change in the display direction between when the person is sitting and when the person is away.

By providing the timer display setting means in the time display means, a timer reservation which generally requires a complicated operation can be displayed depending on whether a person is sitting or not. It can be performed under the condition that the direction does not change, and is very effective.

By changing the display area of the water pressure display means according to the water pressure level, the magnitude of the water pressure level can be determined at a glance.

Further, by providing a function for displaying the drying temperature level simultaneously with the water level in the water pressure display means, the drying temperature level can be visually checked at the time of local cleaning, and therefore, after the cleaning is completed, the drying temperature is promptly increased. Move to operation.
