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.
CAUTION
Property Damage Hazard
Freezing temperatures may cause
water lines to rupture. Be sure all
supply lines to and circulating lines
within dishwasher are protected.
Failure to do so could result in property
damage.
