One end of the gas stove 16 is connected to a gas pipe, which is provided with a first valve 18. Opening first valve 18 activates the gas stove 16 via ignition switch 17, thereby heating the water in the water heating chamber 2.

[0025] The housing 1 is connected to a water injection pipe 19 that communicates with the water-boiling chamber 3 . The water injection pipe 19 is connected to a water source. Water can be added to the water-boiling chamber through the water injection pipe 19 . In addition, a valve is also required to be installed on the water injection pipe 19 .
