CARE AND CLEANING
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.
