Well that was left out of the instructions. However I am certain I will bleed them at least one more time.

If you have an older master, the early american rectangular adapter is a pain to use. It doesn't seal very well, I've used C-clamps to hold it down to get by. That being said, having a large reservoir of pressurized fluid is amazing when you're running the bleed by yourself. Just seal it, pump it up, then stroll to each bleeder and crack them. You have to add a couple pumps to the reservoir every now and then, but man, makes brake jobs like butter. Even purchased the tilton adapter and use it to bleed my T56 setup, takes 10 minutes start to finish, almost cheating.
Ordered !!!!!!!!
