The sleeping bag pdf on this page is essential reading. It explains the whole thing in minute detail.

I would take that as a bag suitable for use -3 to -10.  add another 5 or six degrees either side of that temp and you will be getting too hot or cold in my experience.

I have a ME helium 800.  It is too warm when it is above freezing and it is en -6 comfort, en comfort limit -13, en risk extreme -32.

Earlier this month I used the bag and it was cold at night but I had to sleep with it udone and half out the bag. 

I sometimes wish I had bought a 600 bag rather than the 800...
