Care of Drain Air Gap
If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in
dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so
the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air
gap is usually mounted on countertop and
can be inspected by removing the cover. This is
not part of your dishwasher and is not covered
by warranty.
Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit
buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For
cleaning instructions see Removing Spots and
Film section.

overfilling and is located in the left front
corner of the tub.
Clean occasionally with household cleaner
containing vinegar or
bleach to dissolve any
buildup.

down freely about one
inch. If it does not
move, lift and clean
underneath.
OutsideOccasionally wipe with a mild
nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and
dry.

cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean

in the center of the filter is designed to collect
pieces of broken glass, straws, bones and pits.
