You will need to change the water fill hose to a connector that installs into your hot water supply line. Then, you need to put a dishwasher tee into your sink drainpipe and use a hose that fits onto it. Be sure to put a long enough hose so you can form a high loop to prevent siphoning. You will also need an electrical outlet for power.

Most portable dishwasher have a convertion kit that you can purchase to turn it into a built in.
At the side or rear of the case you will find the manufacturer, serial number and model number. Record this info and take it to a appliance repair and supply shop and they will take the info and order you the correct conversion kit. The kit will contain all the hoses, clamps, electrical connections and levellers. Buy the kit it will save you a lot of grieve because everything will fit for your pacticular model.
If your even the slightest bit mechanical the instructions are very easy to follow and easy to complete the task.

Check your owner's manual. Different brands have different set-ups. First, check the width depth and height of the unit and the opening. Often, portable units have removable tops and casters, to allow them to slide into a standard opening. After that, you need to tie in the power, water supply, and drain. You will need to tee off the sink's water supply and redo the drain with a dishwasher connection. Fittings are available at hardware and plumbing stores.

Usually when you buy a portable dishwasher, it comes with directions as to how to build it in. If you can't locate the manual, go back to where the purchase was made & ask them.

If it was me, I'd have the space ready, roll the washer in, put a couple blocks in front of the front casters and nail them down; then I might find a piece of board the color of the cabinets and cut to fit the width of the washer and just tall enough to not interfere with opening the door and put that in front.
