We bought a Kenmore dishwasher at a local Sears outlet store, but it
didn't
include any parts for installation, nor any manuals for installation. We
were sent a "Dishwasher Use & Care Guide"...

Is it a big deal that we didn't have any parts included? What would have
been missing? Are they of any expense? Do I need an installation manual?

If it's a builtin, the only thing that comes with it is the new drain hose.
No a/c cord or plumbing fittings. It it was a portable, there would have
been an adapter for your sink faucet. If builtin, it goes back in the hole
the same as the old came out and uses the old a/c cord. You might have to
purchase an adapter to fit the old water line to the new inlet valve if it
is different, but like I said that wouldn't have come with the new one,
anyway.
