PROBLEM SOLVER
If you have a drain air gap, check
and clean it if the dishwasher isn't
draining well.
To Reduce Risk of Property Damage During Vacation or Extended
Time Without Use
When 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 cause damage to 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.
