Drain Air Gap

Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap
between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. Check the drain air
gap when your dishwasher is not draining well.
The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or counter top near
the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap, call 1-844-553-6667. Ask for Part
Number 300096. You may also purchase the part online:

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.
Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your
dishwasher.
With most types, you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic cap. Then
check for any soil buildup. Clean if necessary.

Vacation or Extended Time Without Use

■ If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months, turn off
the water and power supply to the dishwasher.
■ Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing conditions.
Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and damage
your dishwasher or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the
warranty.
■ When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water damage by having
your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.
