CARE AND CLEANING
DOES YOUR DISHWASHER HAVE AN AIR
GAP? (BUILT-IN MODELS ONLY)
An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing up
into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher. It
is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing codes require
air gaps, so you may not have one.
Air gap
Check the air gap any time your dishwasher isn't draining well.
The air gap is easy to clean.
1
Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the air gap cover.
2
Remove the plastic cap under the cover and clean with a
toothpick.
3
Replace the cap and cover when the air gap is clean.
