I would think that this might fall under the same guidelines as OICHEL
NEFESH and how much TIRCHEH YESAIRA there is in filling up the reservoir.
For example, it is permissible to cook a whole chicken even if one needs
only 2 quarters. There is no extra TIRCHEH involved. However, if on wants
fried chicken and the chicken is already quartered, and you only need 2
quarters, then one can only fry the two quarters needed as breading and
frying the other pieces is considered TIRCHEH YESAIRA. (Please see "The
HALACHOS OF YOM TOV" by Rabbi S.B. Cohen, Mesorah Publications for further
details).



IMHO, filling up the reservoir does not require any extra TIRCHEH and would
be permissible as long as one does not have specific intent.
