Storing your dishwasher (cont.)
Storing for the summer
Protect your dishwasher during the summer
months by turning off the water supply and
electrical power connected to the dishwasher.
The drain air gap
Check the drain air gap
anytime your dishwasher
isn't draining well.
Some state or localplumbing codes require
the addition of a drain air gap between a built-
in dishwasher and the home drain system.
This device protects your dishwasher against
water backing up into it when a drain clogs.
The drain air gap is usually located on top of
the sink or countertop near the dishwasher.
To order drain air gap (part number 300096),
contact your local KitchenAid dealer. You
can also call 1-800.422-1230 in the U.S.A.,
or see page 2.
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.
Drain air gap
To clean the drain air gap:
Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure
proper drainage of your dishwasher. Follow
the drain air gap cleaning instructions
provided by the manufacturer. With most
types, you lift off the chrome cover, unscrew
the plastic cap, and then check for any
buildup of soil. Clean, if necessary.
