On the other hand, when the water force 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.

In addition, the time display means is, by its nature, visible when the person is sitting and when he is away, that is, both when the sanitary washing device is turned back and when the person is positioned in front. Things.

When the time display device is provided in the sanitary washing device, when the sanitary washing device is attached to the sitting toilet and the shape of the sanitary washing device, the case where the sanitary washing device is placed on the back and the case where the sanitary washing device faces the front Therefore, it is difficult to provide a display position at a position where the display directions are matched.

However, when the time display device is provided in the remote control device, since the remote control device can be mounted anywhere, the position in which the display direction is matched between when the sanitary washing device is turned back and when facing the front is set. It is easy to provide.

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 a timer reservation setting means in the time display means, generally, a timer reservation requiring a complicated operation, the display direction is changed between when a person is seated and when the person is away. It can be done under no conditions 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 operation is immediately shifted to the drying operation. can do.
