15.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. If a drain is clogged, the drain air gap protects your dishwasher from water backing up into it. The drain air
gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher.
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.
TO clean the drain air gap
Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your dishwasher. Follow the cleaning instructions
provided by the manufacturer. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any
soil buildup. Clean if necessary.

16.Storing

Storing for the Summer
Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher
Winterizing your dishwasher
Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage due to freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a
seasonal dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing temperatures, have your dishwasher winterized by authorized
service personnel.
