Bleaches&Fixer Bath: Stock > 6-10min @ 75 -104°f (23-40°C)
This is a process-to-completion step. Time is minimum for completion.

Maintaining temperature is not essential beyond pouring in the 1st developer. When a temperature control bath is not available, simply preheat the 1st Developer +2ºF warmer, and the other baths will automatically process-to-completion as they cool down. Only the 1st developer is time and temperature critical because it controls contrast and color.
