Stick the mitivac needle into the hole where the master hose connects to the reservoir. Make sure it seats. Pull ~20" Hg on the mitivac. Get in and pump the pedal with some long strokes and short strokes until you stop seeing bubbles. Make sure the level of the reservior does not drop below the needle. When done, top off the reservoir with new fluid.
