Brandon that's really helpful. way easier to find than on the arcteryx website. are your instructions for a newer gamma or the older one? i'm using one from about 2007 model year.

For any Arc'teryx (and most other brands) performance fabrics, wash it warm with a tech-wash (non-detergent). A double rinse will assure there is no residue left, which will degrade the DWR. Dry it on medium heat for 20-30 mins. This will help re-charge the DWR. If you need to re-treat it for water repellency, use a spray-on re-proof and let it air dry for about 10 mins. (Arc recommends Grangers) before you put it in the dryer). If you clean your gear regularly, so as not to let oil and dirt build up, you won't need to re-treat it for a few seasons and it will maintain it's best breathability. One detail to consider, Arc'teryx has introduced a new version of the Gamma MX which is more water resistant, dries more quickly, and has a bit softer, but equally tough, face fabric.
