Filling The Tanks - Kodak M35M X-Omat Operator's Manual

Filling the Tanks

Caution
• Mix the developer first, then the fixer.
• Wash the mixing equipment thoroughly between solutions to avoid contamination of the solutions.
• Rinse the mixing and filling equipment before each use.
• Relatively small amounts of fixer can seriously contaminate the developer. If solutions are changed in both
Tanks, fill the Fixer Tank first so that any solution spilling into the Developer Tank can be thoroughly cleaned.
• Fill the Fixer Tank before filling the Developer Tank.
