However, as compared with the first embodiment in which the air passage 21 is provided in the top cover 9, the second embodiment in which the water tank cover 17 is provided. In the second embodiment, since warm air is blown out from just above the washing and dewatering tub 4, warm air can be supplied from a position near the opening of the washing and dewatering tub 4, and leakage of warm air to the outside of the washing and dewatering tub 4 is prevented. Supply efficiency is improved.
