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. 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.
REMEMBER: This external
plumbing device is not part of
your KitchenAid Dishwasher.
To clean the drain air gap:
Clean the drain air gap periodically
to insure proper drainage of your
dishwasher. Follow drain air gap
cleaning instructions provided by
the manufacturer. With most types,
just lift off the chrome cover, un-
screw the plastic cap, and then
check for any buildup of soil. Clean
if necessary.
Check the Air Gap Anytime
Your Dishwasher tsn't
Draining Well.
REMEMBER: The warranty pro-
vided with your dishwasher does
not cover service costs directly
associated with the cleaning or
repair of the external drain air
gap.
