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.
Outside—Occasionally wipe with a mild
nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.

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.
The filter is self-
cleaning. A glass

collect pieces of
broken glass,
straws, bones and
pits. To remove
items in glass trap,
grasp handle, lift
out, empty and
replace.
