Keep it clean.
An air gap is a plumbing device.
It protects your dishwasher against
water backing up into it if a drain
clogs. The air gap is not a part of
the dishwasher. And you may not
even have one. Not all plumbing
codes require air gaps.
The inside usually takes care of
itself.
If it should ever need
cleaning, use a mild cleansing
powder. Scouring pads and harsh
cleaners can mar the finish.
If you have an air gap, check it
at least once a month. IT IS N~
PARTOF YOUR DISHWASHER.
IT IS N~ COVERED IN YOUR
WARRANTY.
The
air gap is easy to
clean.
With most types. first turn off the
dishwasher. then Iifi off the chrome
cover. Then unscrew the plastic cap
and check for any build-up of grit.
A toothpick makes cleaning easy.
