Maintaining the Air Gap

If you employed an air gap during the installation of your
washer, you need to clean the air gap at least once a
month. The air gap is not part of the washerd therefore, it
is not covered by the washer warranty. The air gap
protects the washer against water backing up in the event
of a clogged drain.
Most types of air gaps are easy to clean. Simply follow
the manufacturerps directions for maintaining your air gap.
