perature is not included within the
range indicated for the class of this
appliance, the following instruc-
tions must be observed: when the
ambient temperature drops below
the minimum level, the storage
temperature in the freezer compar-
tment cannot be guaranteed; the-
refore it is advisable to use the
food stored as soon as possible.
