Default Bench bleeding master cylinder

Ok.. the MC has THREE ports, 2 on the side and one on the bottom for the driver side front caliper. My question is.. when bench bleeding, do I have to put caps on all 3, or just the 2 on the side or what? I tried just putting the 2 on the side ports, filled it with brake fluid and I had fluid running down the vice onto a desk(This aint my house so I dont want a huge mess) So is that bottom port supposed to be blocked too or what?

And another thing I don't get, If I'm supposed to block the bottom one too, then why didn't I get another hose with the bleeder kit?

Yes block off the 3rd Port, most M/Cs have 2 outputs thats why the bleeder set you bought only has 2.
