Occurs. In this case, when the front panel 8 of the outer case 2 is removed, the front surface of the case body 3 is opened. Therefore, after removing the filter retainer 40 from the case body 3, the vaporizing filter is used by using the open surface Z described above. 19 can be taken out from the water tank 18. Thus, the vaporization filter 19 taken out to the outside
Is used after being cleaned again after being incorporated into the water tank 18.
