overfilling and is located in the left front corner of the tub.

household cleaner containing

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.
Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on the
interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning instructions see
“Removing Spots and Film” section.
Outside Clean outer door with warm soapy water
and a dishcloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water and a
dry cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners.
Inside The inside of the dishwasher is self-
cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean around the
tub gasket area with a
damp cloth.
A glass trap located in
the center of the filter is
designed to collect
pieces of broken glass,
straws, bones and pits.
To remove items in
glass trap, grasp handle,
rotate, lift out, empty and replace.

protected from freezing. Have a qualified person do the
following:
