[Histonet] Question about Leica Autostainer XL

[Clouse, Rosanna]

I have a question about a Leica Autostainer XL.  We are getting the most peculiar odor from it during staining and none of us can quite describe it.  One of our histotechs is very sensitive to it however.  We have changed the filters and the odor is still there.  Also, the arm mechanism is very warm--almost hot--and we were wondering if this is normal for operation.  Thanks so much for any and all comments.
