Drain Air Gap

well.
DISHWASHER CARE
Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a
drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain
system. If a drain is clogged, the drain air gap protects your
dishwasher from water backing up into it.
Cleaning
Cleaning the exterior
In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a
mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your
dishwasher looking nice and clean.
The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or
countertop near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap, contact
your local dealer; or in the U.S.A., call the Customer Interaction
Center and ask for Part Number 300096.
