Manual

Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher

isn't draining well

Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of

a drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the

home drain system. If a drain is clogged, the drain air gap

protects your dishwasher from water backing up into it.

Storing for the summer

Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by

turning off the water supply and power supply to the

dishwasher.

Winterizing your dishwasher

Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage

due to freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a

seasonal dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing

temperatures, have your dishwasher winterized by

authorized service personnel.

The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or

countertop near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap

contact your local dealer, or in the U.S.A., call the

Consumer Assistance Center and ask for Part Number

300096.

NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device

that is not part of your dishwasher. The warranty provided

with your dishwasher does not cover service costs directly

associated with the cleaning or repair of the external drain

air gap.

To clean the drain air gap

Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper

drainage of your dishwasher. Follow the cleaning

instructions provided by the manufacturer. With most

types, you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic

cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean if necessary.
