I have just opened my new Moersch MT6 Gold Toner, but the instructions are in German. My German isn’t very good. Perhaps someone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction?
I’m a bit confused about the operating temperature. The instructions mention 35/40 °C. Is this correct?
Also, do I add all the extra gold chloride when it stops working?
Thanks in advance

MT6 Nelson Gold Toner
Before toning, a wet, freshly fixed print should be washed for a few minutes. Dry prints should be soaked in water.
Very carefully decant the working solution into the tray. Do not pour the sediment from the working solution into the toning tray.
For proper toning, the working solution must be maintained at a temperature between 38°C/100°F and 43°C/110°F.
Place the print to be toned in the solution and tone to the desired hue. When the desired tone has been reached (5 to 30 minutes), rinse the print in water; fix the print for 5 minutes; and finally wash the print for at least thirty minutes.
Replenishment
Exact measurements cannot be given. The quantity to be added will depend on the number of prints toned, and the duration of toning. In general, when toning to a warm brown, approximately 5–10 ml of gold solution should be added to the working solution after every fifty 8×10 prints have been toned.
