PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the electric energy consumed by a heater by energizing the heater for a prescribed period (time). SOLUTION: This washer is so constituted that hot water is fed from an external hot water feed source to a hot water storage tank 23 from its upper part in an initial hot water process before a washing process and wash water is fed from the hot water storage tank 23 to a wash tank 21 by overflowing, a material A to be washed is washed by wash water sprayed from wash nozzles 13, 15 in the washing process, and the material A to be washed is rinsed by a rinse hot water sprayed from rinse nozzles 17, 19 in a rinse process. The hot water storage tank 23 is so constituted as to become an empty state before the initial hot water feed process, and the energization to the heater 51 is set to such a set time from when the heater 51 is soaked in the hot water by starting the feeding of the hot water to the hot water storage tank 23 and to when the heater 51 is exposed from the hot water by starting of the rinse process.
