The controller 3 is provided on the peripheral rim part of the face type heat generating body 2 while a human body detecting sensor 6 is arranged on the upper surface of a housing 5 for the controller 3. A part between the human body detecting sensor 6 and the end rim of the cover member 4 in the upper surface of the housing 5 for the controller 3 is formed as a face unit 7, not covered with the cover member 4. |
