When the control device 13 starts its operation,
First, an operation by the switch input unit 14 is accepted (step A1), and then an operation is set based on the operation (step A2). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not there is a command to start driving (operation of a start switch) (step A3), and as soon as it is determined that there is a command to start driving, the driving is executed (step A4). After this, it is determined whether or not the operation should be terminated (step A5), and as soon as it is determined that the operation should be terminated, the operation is terminated, and then the time required for it (required operation time) is calculated. (Step A6). Then, the calculated value is added to the total value of the driving time required so far (step A7), and then the integrated value (H)
It is determined whether the value has reached a value exceeding a predetermined time, for example, 10 hours (20 times, assuming one standard course driving is 30 minutes) (Step A8), and until it is determined that the value has been reached, the buzzer is activated. 20 to notify the end (step A9), and return to step A1.

On the other hand, in step A8, the integrated value (H)
If it is determined that the time has reached a value exceeding 10 hours, the buzzer 20 is activated to notify the end (step A10),
Next, the light emitting diode 12a for displaying a tank cleaning course is caused to emit light continuously or intermittently for a predetermined period of time, for example, 30 seconds, to issue a notification to urge cleaning of the tank (step A11). After that, it is determined whether or not the tank cleaning course selection switch 11a has been operated (step A12), and if it is not determined that the switch 11a has been operated, the system waits for a certain period of time (step A13).

Therefore, according to this configuration, the time required for operation is accumulated, and each time it is determined that the accumulated result has reached a predetermined value, the light emitting diode for displaying the tank cleaning course, which is the notification means, is activated. Control is performed to activate the light emitting diode 12a, and when the light emitting diode 12a is activated,
Since it is possible to accurately judge that it is time to clean the tank (in this case, the inner surface of the inner tank 3, the outer surface of the inner tank 3, and the inner surface of the outer tank 2), the tank can be cleaned based on that judgment. In this way, the dirt in the tank can be removed more reliably than in the conventional system, where the instructions for carrying out tank cleaning are simply written in the instruction manual. Further, by performing a reset to initialize the integrated value, the same function can be obtained repeatedly.
