of itself. If it should ever need
cleaning, use a mild cleansing
powder. Scouring pads and harsh
cleaners can mar the finish.
Built-in dishwashers
often use an air gap.
Keep it clean.
An air gap is a plumbing device.
It protects your dishwasher against
water backing up into it if a drain
clogs. The air gap is not a part of
the dishwasher, and you may not
even have one. Not all plumbing
codes require air gaps.
If you have an air gap, check it
at least once a month. IT IS
PART OF YOUR DISHWASHER.
IT IS NOT COVERED IN YOUR
WARRANTY.
The air gap is easy to clean.
With most types, first turn off the
dishwasher, then
off the chrome
cover. Then unscrew the plastic cap
and check for any buildup of grit.
A toothpick makes cleaning easy.
Check the air gap any time your
dishwasher isn’t draining well.
Not using your dishwasher

unheated place during the winter,

the tub bottom and use a sponge to
soak up water in the rubber boot.
How to change color
If you are redecorating, you can
change your dishwasher’s front
panels to match or blend with your
new colors.
The panels are held in place by the
door trim and the trim on the panel
below the door. Each side of each
panel is a different color. Or you
can paint a panel with the color of
your own choice.
