Does

Vour Dishwasher

Have an Air Gap?

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.

The air gap is easy

to

clean.
