PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sauna device configured to transfer the operation to an appropriate process according to a mode when an operation switch is operated to command the sauna device to stop the operation without useless consumption of electric power.SOLUTION: When the operation switch to command the sauna device to start the operation or to stop the operation is operated and if the sauna device is commanded to start the operation, the operation in a cleaning mode, in a sterilization mode A, in a starting mode, in a stabilization mode, in a sterilization mode B and a drying mode are performed one after another, and the operation of the sauna device is stopped with a water-discharge valve opened. If the operation switch is operated in the cleaning mode and in the sterilization mode A to command the sauna device to stop the operation, the state of the sauna device is transferred to the stopped state. If the operation switch is operated in the starting mode to command the sauna device to stop the operation, the mode of the operation of the sauna device is transferred to the drying mode. If the operation switch is operated in the stabilization mode to command the sauna device to stop the operation, the mode of the operation is transferred to the sterilization mode B.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】運転スイッチが操作されサウナ装置の運転停止が指示された時に、モードに応じた適切な処理に遷移し、電力を無駄に消費することのないサウナ装置を提供する。【解決手段】サウナ装置の運転開始及び停止を指示する運転スイッチが操作され、サウナ装置の運転開始が指示されると、クリーニングモードと、除菌モードAと、立ち上げモードと、安定モードと、除菌モードBと、乾燥モードとを順に行い、排水弁を開弁したまま停止状態となるサウナ装置において、クリーニングモード及び除菌モードA中に運転スイッチが操作されサウナ装置の運転停止が指示されると、停止状態に遷移し、立ち上げモード中に運転スイッチが操作されサウナ装置の運転停止が指示されると、乾燥モードに遷移し、安定モード中に運転スイッチが操作されサウナ装置の運転停止が指示されると、除菌モードBに遷移するようにした。【選択図】図14
