In the 1970s, virtually every household in Germany had a washing machine, and many kitchens also contained a dishwasher. At the same time, there was also an increase in water damage caused by washing machines and dishwashers.[1] The operating instructions were clearly formulated and also legally unambiguous: Washing machines and dishwashers were only allowed to be operated under supervision. What's more, the faucet had to be turned off once the washing or dishwashing cycle was finished.[2] Many users did not observe this particular instruction in practice, with the faucet often being difficult to even reach in the base cabinet. When water damage occurred, it was frequently difficult to ascertain whether it was caused by a faulty appliance or negligence on the part of the user. BSH[3] was very concerned about the growing level of damage caused by home appliances. It was even sued by insurance companies in some cases of damage.

Since the sale of the Siemens shares in BSH to Robert Bosch GmbH the company’s name is now BSH Hausgeräte GmbH, but still BSH for short.
