I never heard of any such recommendations. DMSO doesn't react with plastics or metals, and those are the only surfaces the embedding medium comes into contact with, so I wouldn't expect any problems. In any case, from a personal perspective, I used Paraplast Plus, which contains DMSO, in my processors for many years, and never had a problem.
