(Die Seite wurde neu angelegt: „'''Ernst Stickel:''' We didn’t tell the customer how it works, but rather what damage it prevents and how convenient it is. Nevertheless, it’s a very simple concept. A second inlet valve is connected to the faucet and sleeving is pushed over the inlet hose. If there’s a leak in the inlet hose, the water is guided to the appliance's base tray and an electrical signal is sent to the inlet valve, which closes immediately. In addition, the float switch…“) |

'''Ernst Stickel''': Another example is the 45 cm dishwasher. The width of 45 cm, which emerged as the desired width based on a survey of singles and employees from two-person households, was not included in the AMK (Modern Kitchen Working Group) standard. As a result, installation in customary kitchens was initially difficult. However, we quickly found a solution, and there were no protests from the kitchen furniture industry either. Thanks to the introduction of the 45 cm dishwasher, sales of small kitchens even increased on previous figures. Ultimately, this innovation was also a major success for us and we were struggling to keep up with delivery of all the orders. | |||

'''BSH Wiki:''' Was the new width not also a challenge for the design? The narrower dishwasher delivers the same performance as the model with standard dimensions. | |||

'''Ernst Stickel:''' The new 45 cm dishwasher was especially innovative. It was actually quite a challenge to accommodate all the required components, including a new heat exchanger, for example, in a 15 cm narrower washer. The key impetus came from a completely different industry: At the Hanover Fair in 1984, I was struck by the trucks whose engines could be accessed when the driver's cabs were tilted out. We also applied this technology to the 45 cm washers. We took a type of beer crate and filled its individual compartments with the relevant components. We then mounted the container on one side using a hinge and closed it, as with the driver's cab, thus clamping the components. This meant we needed fewer attachment components and screws, reduced our assembly costs and also integrated innovations, such as the instantaneous water heater and AquaStop. | |||

'''BSH Wiki:''' Mr. Stickel, as we draw to a close we would like to come back to you personally. Is there a moment in your professional career that you look back on with particular fondness? | |||

'''Ernst Stickel:''' There were actually two moments: First of all, the presentation of the innovation prize by the British trade journal ERT in London in 1988 for the new 45-cm Bosch dishwasher. Secondly, the presentation of the Environment Prize in 1998 by the then Minister for the Environment Angela Merkel. We were awarded this prize for our GV 630 dishwashers, which worked extremely efficiently for the time, saved resources and were part of an end-to-end recycling model. | |||
