Q: Mounting under granite countertop
A: Hello Patrick, This is Joyce from GE Appliances. If the countertop is granite or a similar material that will not accept wood screws. You will want to use the side mounting brackets. Break off the front portion of the tab with pliers at the location shown, prior to attaching to the dishwasher. Refer to the installation instructions for complete instructions. Thanks so much for checking with us. Have a good day!
Q: side flaps
A: Yes
A: Hello pinkp - this is Nancy at GE Appliances. We're sorry to hear that the dishwasher you like apparently had some parts on backorder.

We can assure you that GE is committed to quality and should an unusual situation occur, we take action on a case-by-case basis. I hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
Q: it says front is slate. is it stainless steel?
A: I believe that the front door is stainless steel.
Q: does it have very strong smell when new and for how long?
A: Yes, the dishwasher has a very strong chemical odor. The odor was even on our dishes. We had to rewash our dishes in extremely hot water to remove the smell. We have run our dishwasher multiple times and it has not gotten any better. Avoid GE products!
