"Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone has had problems with xylene fumes using Sakura
VIP Tissue processor.  Ours is currently sitting on a bench in a room with
a snorkle right above is and the smell is still really bad and is causing
headaches for people who try to work in that room.  Does anyone have any
suggestions?

Thank you,

      It sounds as though it is time to replace the carbon filter on the
VIP processor. This should be done on a regular basis depending on usage.
