The control section starts 1200 W drive of the lamp heater at time t 2 and maintains the 1200 W drive during a first temperature rise period D 3 . After the temperature of the seating section reaches limit temperature, the control section starts 600 W drive of the lamp heater at time t 3 and maintains the 600 W drive during a second temperature rise period D 4 .
