anyone know where I can obtain instruction on dishwasher installation? Answered

You'll need a cold-water supply: stopcock and flexible hose, such as you'll probably have already for a washing machine.
If you don't have one spare you'd probably be best having a plumber fit one.
You'll also need a waste-pipe to take flexible hose from the machine, such as you'll probably have again for a washing machine. If you don't have one spare - plumber.
And an electrical socket.

You don't say which model it is but you can get the user manuals for most Hotpoint dishwashers here:-

If you can't find your model you can phone or email them & they will send you a copy, I have done it a couple of times myself.
Good luck with it.
