The manual says +/- 8 degrees both planes.  Most fridges like that are
specified as 3 one way, 6 the other, I think.

You may boil the boiler dry, in which case it will start baking some
anticorrosion stuff onto the boiler walls, which will progressively reduce
the efficiency thereof until it (permanently) quits working and needs to be
rebuilt.
