Also another point. It would seem that the location where I am planning to
put the dishwasher only has a plumbing fixture for hot water. Do
dishwashers
need a cold water fixture?

Most (European) dishwashers will accept a single hot feed. However, it will
usually make it more expensive to run and result in less perfect cleaning
results, although it will complete a cycle more quickly. A US dishwasher
requires a hot supply and will not work with a cold supply.
