摘要

A washing machine of the present invention includes transmission/reception unit (230) for performing data communication with portable information terminal (220); input unit (104) for setting an operation course; memory (51) for storing the set content of the operation course set by the data communication and input unit (104); and control section (121) for controlling the operation of the washing machine based on the set content stored in memory (51). Control section (121) includes rewriting unit (52) of memory (51) to rewrite the set content of memory (51) based on a signal received by transmission/reception unit (230) through data communication with portable information terminal (220) brought close to transmission/reception unit (230). The set content of the washing operation of the washing machine thus can be easily changed.
