Therefore, when the air conditioner 10 is configured to inform the user via the display units 36 and 56 as the time until the air conditioner 10 is stopped as it is, the operation time until the air conditioner 10 is stopped. Time may increase or decrease. As a result, the user may be confused. Therefore, after notifying the user of the second predetermined time until the air conditioner 10 stops through the display units 36 and 56, the second predetermined time from the time when the second predetermined time is notified. The air conditioner 10 is stopped when time passes.
  • the remote controller 30 and the portable information terminal 50 indicate the second predetermined time. It is preferable to configure to count down. Thereby, after notifying the user of the second predetermined time, the communication connection between the air conditioner 10 and the remote controller 30 and the portable information terminal 50 is established by changing the place where the remote controller 30 and the portable information terminal 50 are placed.
