[0084] According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the other end of the steam outer supply pipe 180 is drawn out from the lower end of the front side of the main body 110 .

[0085] Of course, when the washing machine further includes a supporting member 190, which covers a predetermined receiving space defined below the bottom surface of the washing machine, as shown in FIG. The bottom surface and the support 190 are then withdrawn to the outside.

[0086] Also, the steam external supply pipe 180 is preferably provided with a second valve 181 to selectively open and close the passage.

[0087] At this time, if it is not necessary to supply steam through the steam outer supply pipe 180 , the second valve 181 is operated, thereby closing the passage of the steam outer supply pipe 180 .

[0088] Meanwhile, it is more preferable that the steam outer supply pipe 180 has an adjustable length.

[0089] The purpose of this structure is to connect the washing machine...
