Drain Air Gap

Vacation or Extended Time Without Use

Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap between a

built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. Check the drain air gap when your

dishwasher is not draining well.

The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or counter top near the

dishwasher. To order a drain air gap, please call 1-884-553-6667. Ask for Part

Number 300096. You may also purchase the part online: www.searspartsdirect.com.

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.

With most types, you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check

for any soil buildup. Clean if necessary.

To reduce the risk of property damage

■ If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months, turn off the

water and power supply to the dishwasher.

■ Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing conditions. Ice

formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and damage your

dishwasher or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

■ When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water damage by having your

dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.
