If your Chef’s Washer is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:
1.Cut off electrical power to the Chef’s Washer. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.
2.Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve.
3.Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)
4.Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.
5.Remove the filters from the tub bottom and use a sponge to soak up water.
The Air Gap
An air gap protects your Chef’s Washer against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the Chef’s Washer. It is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps, so you may not have one.
The air gap is easy to clean.
1.Turn off the Chef’s Washer and lift off the chrome cover.
2.Unscrew the plastic cap and clean with a toothpick.
Two types of air gaps
Check the air gap any time your Chef’s Washer isn’t draining well.
