DRAIN AIR GAP KIT (Accessory)
This accessory protects against a siphoning of water
back into the dishwasher tub. It also prevents a back-up
of food waste into the dishwasher due to a plugged drain
line.
When the drain hose is connected to an air gap, remove the hose from the side of the tub and route it on a
continuous incline from the pump to the air gap. (Coil excess hose and place it in asafe place, perhaps under
the dishwasher.)
If another type of air gap is required, such as to drain into the sink or for mounting behind the back splash or
into a wall, it should be purchased through a local plumbing source.
