Turn off electricity to the dishwasher. 3. Shut off water supply. Place pan under fill valve, and disconnect fill valve at both inlet and outlet sides. Drain water into pan. 4. Place a pan under the drain valve outlet, and disconnect the flexible tubing at the drain valve. Drain machine water into pan. Leave fill and drain valve disconnected. To restore service, reconnect the fill valve and the connection at the drain valve. Turn on the electricity and the water supply. Close and latch the door. Select the LIGHT/CHINA WASH CYCLE and let the machine complete its cycle. Check connections to make sure they are water tight and do not leak. 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. Drain air gap accessory part number 300096 is available from KitchenAid. REMEMBER: This external plumbing device is not part of your KitchenAid Dishwasher. To Clean the Drain Air Gap: Clean the drain air gap periodically to insure proper drainage of your dishwasher. Follow drain air gap cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer. With most types, just lift off the chrome cover, unscrew the plastic cap, and then check for any buildup of soil. Clean, if necessary. Check the Air Gap Anytime Your Dishwasher Isn't Draining Well REMEMBER: The warranty provided with your dishwasher does not cover service costs directly associated with the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap. 15 Sure-Scrub Wash System The Sure-Scrub™ Wash System in your dishwasher provides the best results possible. The wash water is continuously filtered by a triple filtration and soil collector system to prevent food particles from redepositing on clean dishes. The triple filtration system consists of a removable filter (A), an ultrafine filter (B) and a removable coarse strainer |C). The removable coarse strainer (C) prevents bones, pits and other large objects from entering the pump system. Occasionally check the strainer for such items that may have mistakenly gotten into the dishwasher. The 4-Way Hydro Sweep Wash Arm, the removable filter and the coarse strainer may be removed and cleaned if necessary. If food The removable filter continuously filters the wash water and traps the food particles that have been removed from the dishes on the outside of the filter. These trapped food particles are removed from the filter by the jet spray action of water from the single spray nozzle (D) underneath the wash arm. The ultrafine filter is cleaned by the nine water jets (E) underneath the 4-Way Hydro Sweep Wash Arm. soils remain on the removable filter, lift the 4-Way Hydro Sweep Wash Arm straight up. Check underside of wash arm to make sure the opening of the single stainless steel spray nozzle (D) and the nine water jets (E) are not blocked. 16 Next, lift the removable filter straight up and out. To clean, scrub filter with a stiff brush under running water. To replace, snap removable filter over the ultrafine filter and then replace the wash arm.

The Overflow Protection Float (G) in the front left corner of the dishwasher tank prevents the dishwasher from overflowing. The float must be in place for the dishwasher to operate. Important: A small amount of water always remains in the bottom of the dishwasher (under the ultrafine filter) to keep the seal moist. The coarse strainer may be removed, if necessary. To remove, lift strainer out by squeezing center section (F) and remove. To replace, squeeze center section so clips snap into square notch.
