  Spots may appear on stainless steel or silver in your Asko dishwasher due to: * Certain foods like mustard, mayonnaise, lemon, vinegar, or salt can mark stainless steel if left for too long. Rinse these foods off before starting the dishwasher or use the Rinse and hold program. * Contact between different metals (stainless steel and silver, or aluminum) during dishwashing can cause spots.

Why do the dishes have a sticky white/blue film after using my Asko Dishwasher?
- M
  Michael TurnerSep 12, 2025
  A sticky white or blue film on dishes from your Asko dishwasher indicates that the rinse aid dosage setting is too high. Reduce the dosage. If you have very soft water, you may want to dilute the rinse aid 50:50 with water.
