bleach (N2) tank. Position the tank level gauge on the
bleach (N2) tank rack, and add water to the N2 level mark

each empty tank (N3-1 and/or N3-2). Position the tank
level gauge on the fix tank rack (N3-1 or N3-2), and add
water to the N3-1 or N3-2 level mark on the gauge. For
faster warm up, use water close to operating temperature
(31 to 41˚C [88 to 106˚F]).

the FP563SC processor (three tanks per machine). Add
the contents of one bottle to each empty tank (N4-1, N4-2,
N4-3). Position the tank level gauge on the rinse tank
rack, and add water to the N4-1, N4-2 or N4-3 level mark
on the gauge (depending on which tank is being mixed.).
For faster warm up, use water close to operating
