The drain air gap

Prevent water backup

Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn’t draining well.

Some state or local plumbing codes require

Drain air gap

the addition of a drain air gap between a built-

 

in dishwasher and the home drain system.

 

This device protects your dishwasher against

 

water backing up into it when a drain clogs.

 

The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher. To order drain air gap (Part Number 300096), contact your local dealer. You can also call 1-800-422-1230in the U.S.A., or see the “A Note to You” section.

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 drain air gap cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover, unscrew the plastic cap, and then check for any buildup of soil. Clean, if necessary.
