PURPOSE: To enable a sanitary washing device to continue its automatic progress by means of arbitrarily changing its operating time while automatic progress is being in practice in accordance with a set pattern by providing a button for inputting practice hour change in an operating part and a control routine in a control part.

CONSTITUTION: When a dry button is pressed while a sanitary washing device is being in practice of a certain phase, for instance, a washing phase, under the condition of automatic progress, the automatic progress is forcibly ended at this point and allowed to immediately start upon being transferred to a drying phase under the condition of independent progress. When an automatic progress stop button B is pressed during practice of automatic progress, the automatic progress being practised is forcibly ended. Various input signals from an operating part 2a are received by the input/output part 12c of a control part 12 and taken in a CPU 12a through BUS 12b. Interrupt signals enter a CPU interrupt terminal through an interrupt line 12g. The CPU 12a makes a processing practice while using a control routine 14, including a software timer, and a working memory 12f included in a ROM 12e and when the result is a pattern setting data (for example, practice time t1, t2, t3 or the like), it is stored in a non-volatile memory 12d while when it is operating signal it is output to an operating part 13 through an input/output part 12c.
