Some

require

use

of

a

drain

air

gap

be-

gap

tween

an

undercounter

dishwasher

and

the

drain

system

of

the

house.

The

air

gap

is usually

located

above

the

sink

or

on

the

top

of

the

counter

near the

dishwasher

to prevent

the

possibility

of

water

backing

up

from

the drain

into

the

dishwasher

due

to

a

plugged

drain.

The

drain

air

gap

is

NOT

a

part

of

the

dishwasher

and

is NOT

covered

by

the

dishwasher

worronty.

The

drain

oir

should

be

kept

clean

to

insure

proper

draining

of

the dishwasher.
