If the detected value is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T1, the water supply means 3 is driven to open the water supply passage to supply water. When the detection value of the water supply amount detection means 20 reaches the predetermined value V after the start of water supply, the water supply means 3 is driven to close the water supply passage and stop water supply. Then, the heating means 18 is driven to heat the water in the water storage container 8. When the detected value of the temperature detecting means 19 reaches the predetermined temperature T1 or more, the driving of the heating means 18 is stopped and the heating is stopped. By repeating the steps (1) to (3), water having a temperature equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T2 can be stored until it is full.
