The first appliance is supported in an elevated posture on support structure including a pair of L-shaped support members. The second appliance is engageable with the floor and has side panels with lower recesses for receiving floor engaging portions of the support members. The lower recesses are in closely spaced juxtaposition to the surface engaging support members for stabilizing the first appliance and the support members. The side panels of the first and second appliances are substantially aligned with the sides of the L-shaped support members to provide the combination with the characteristics and stability of a unitary appliance.
