Fill Funnel

The fill funnel is mounted on the left side of the
tub. Its purpose is to provide a method of
supplying water for the wash and rinse cycles.
The air gap prevents the siphoning of wash water
from flowing back into the water supply system,
should the water pressure drop to less than
atmospheric pressure. The fill funnel also allows
air into the tub to permit air flow for dish drying.
Removal and Replacement
1. Fold back the insulation surrounding the fill
funnel and air gap assembly.
2. Open the dishwasher door.
3. Rotate the fill funnel cap counterclockwise and
