A refillable water tank (12) is connected to at least one pump (17) which is connected to the boiler (8) by means of a non-return and/or self-triggering valve. A temperature sensor (23) and/or a sensor for detecting the weight of the boiler is provided for activating the pump (17). According to one aspect of the invention the boiler has at least one level switch.
