temperatures,  the  appliance  cooling  system  could  be  damaged.  At 

warmer temperatures, the cooling system will not be able to reach the pre-

programmed temperature - fig. 3.

out of direct sunlight. To obtain good cooling performance, never install your 

machine in a room with an ambient temperature above 86°F.
