Is the paraffin level too high?  If we have more cassettes than normal
(it pushes the level higher) we always pour off some of the paraffin
prior to processing.

After 18 months in service, we are experiencing paraffin being drawn
into the vacuum tube - anyone else having this problem? Can anyone
provide help ?
 
Thanks
