However, in order to install a gas stove, there is a first disadvantage that an installation space is required because the gas stove is placed in a place other than the dryer. In addition, the above dryer requires a pipe connection for water supply and drainage. However, if a gas stove is installed on the dryer, a gas pipe is also required. For this reason, there is a second drawback in that piping for water supply, drainage, and gas is easily mistaken when piping. Further, there is a drawback that the piping obstructs the operation of the main plug of the gas pipe. In addition, during the connection work of the drain pipe, damage to the wiring part of the pump built in the dryer,
There is a third drawback, which involves water.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in consideration of such conventional drawbacks, and does not require extra space for installing a gas stove, is less likely to make a mistake in the type of piping, and does not damage the wiring of a pump. Offer machine.
