The control method of the hot water washer 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the step of checking whether the time when the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 are driven at an increased speed has elapsed a set time (S270) may include. Here, the set time may mean a time set by a user.

In the control method of the hot water washer 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the time during which the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 are driven at the increased speed is less than a set time, the intake fan 610 and The increased speed of the exhaust fan 620 may be maintained.

In the control method of the hot water washer 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, if the time during which the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 are driven at the increased speed is longer than a set time, the intake fan 610 and It may include reducing the speed of the exhaust fan 620 (S280). Here, reducing the speeds of the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 means adjusting the initial speeds of the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 .

The control method of the hot water washer 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a step (S240) of confirming the departure of the user after reducing the speeds of the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620. .

As a result, the control method of the hot water washer 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention may control the speed of the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 of the deodorizing device 600 according to the user's toilet condition. Accordingly, in the control method of the hot water washer 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the odor in the toilet can be quickly removed.

10 is a flowchart showing another control method of the hot water washer 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

A method of controlling the hot water washer 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 10 . First, the control method of the hot water washer 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of maintaining the deodorizing device 600 in a standby state (S310), checking whether the user is seated (S320), the deodorizing device ( It may include a step (S330) of driving the intake fan (610) and the exhaust fan (620) of 600, and a step (S340) of checking whether the user leaves.

In the control method of the hot water washer 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, if the departure of the user is not confirmed, the step 350 of detecting a sound in the toilet, if the detected sound is greater than the noise by the deodorizing device 600 , the step 360 of increasing the speeds of the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620, and the time the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 are driven at the increased speed passes the set time It may include a step (S370) of confirming whether the

In the control method of the hot water washer 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the time that the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 are driven at the increased speed is less than a set time, detecting the sound in the toilet step 390 .

In the control method of the hot water washer 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the sound in the toilet detected in a state in which the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 are driven at an increased speed is generated by the deodorization device 600 . If it is greater than the noise caused by , initializing the elapsed time of the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 driven at the increased speed ( S400 ) may be included.

As a result, in the control method of the hot water washer 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan ( 620) can be driven at an increased speed. Accordingly, in the control method of the hot water washer 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the odor in the toilet can be effectively removed.
