Storing for the summer

Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning off the water supply and

electrical power connected to the dishwasher.

The drain air gap

Check the drain air gap

anytime your dishwasher

isn't draining well.

Some state or local plumbing codes require 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 KitchenAid dealer. You can also call 1-800-422-1230 in the U.S.A., or 1-800-807-6777 in Canada.

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.
