[Histonet] Problem with VIP 5

[Weems, Joyce]

Don't be scared. We had this problem once. The formalin was where the xylene should have been. It'll do it every time. (Check that first!)
Good luck, Joyce :>)

Jill,
how long have you had the VIP 5? I've had my machine almost 3 years and
haven't had that problem. If you don't close the lid properly, when it pumps
in fluid, the lid pops off, but we haven't had any smells.
    Please let us know what the service rep says. I always like new stories.
