Caring for Your Dishwasher
Storing for the summer
Two simple steps will safeguard your
KitchenAid®dishwasher during an idle
summer:
1. Turn off the water supply.
2. Turn off the electrical power supply to the
dishwasher.
The drain air gap
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. This device protects your dish-
washer 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 acces-
sory part number 300096, contact your local
KitchenAid dealer or call 1-800-422-1230.
NOTE: The drain air gap is an external
plumbing device that is not part of your
KitchenAid 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.
Toclean the drain air gap:
Clean the drain air gap periodically to
ensure proper drainage of your dishwasher.
Follow drain air gap cleaning instructions
provided by the manufacturer. With most
types, just liftoff the chrome cover, unscrew
the plastic cap, and then check for any
buildup of soil. Clean, ifnecessary.
