An obvious mistake by Rollei.
You need to ad a wash after bleach and again after fixer, nothing between developer and bleach.
I run 4 wash cycles after bleach and again after Fix. About 2 minutes each.

Here is a huge thread discussing the kit it probably has the answers you need plus answers to questions you haven’t thought of yet (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

I wash a total of 2 minutes after Bleach = 4 30 second cycles and again after fix so a total of 2 minutes after bleach and again 2 minutes after fix. You could extend the last wash/rinse cycle after fix but don't know if it will improve anything.
