A:AnswerPretty sure that it needs a kit to convert the plumbing over as it comes as a portable. Your also may need an electrician to hook up the electricity depending on codes. And yes the casing and wheels will need to come off but does not look very difficult to do. If your house has already had a builtin dishwasher, it should not be a very difficult project, BUT make sure your opening will work with the size of the dishwasher.

A:AnswerHi Sparky- Thanks for choosing GE! If the dishwasher is new, it may not have any water in it. This can cause a "squeal" or "rattling" sound the first time it is used. If this happens, we suggest to add one quart of water to the bottom of the tub and the noise should go away. The water lubricates the pump seals.

A:AnswerHaven't had a problem when accidentally left on however I would turn it off especially if you have high water pressure. Just don't want to take the chance of a hose or a fitting developing a leak.

A:AnswerHi Stevie- Thanks for viewing! The Unicouple hose is 32" from back of unit to the Unicouple. It comes out of the back near the back left corner (same place as the power cord). Thanks for checking with us! SUEatGEA
A:AnswerHi Sharynleigh - Thanks for viewing! We suggest to view our International Directory for assistance at the following link: http://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/ge-appliances-worldwide.htm - Thanks for checking with us! SUE@GEA
A:AnswerYes, for potable use only. Comes already installed. Hose fully extended is about 3 to 4 feet. Long enough to back the dishwasher to standing in front of the sink and reaching the faucet nozzle.
A:AnswerHi bayside5353-this is Sue from GE Appliances. The racks are constructed of high quality steel wire coated with smooth, durable, plastic, that is tough yet resilient to protect your dishes and roll smoothly on an easy-glide roller system. Also, odors associated with new appliances are normal. The processes used during manufacturing often may leave a "newness" odor that may not dissipate until after several washing cycles. You can alleviate this condition by running the dishwasher through several cycles using detergent. Thanks for checking with us!
