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, please call 1-844-553-6667. Ask for Part
Number 300096. You may also purchase the part online: www.searspartsdirect.com.
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.
