Leveling the Refrigerator

All ammonia absorption refrigerators (RV refrigerators) have to be
level, when stationary and turned on to any heat source,
period. Not doing so will permanently damage the cooling unit. If
stationary, on, and out of level, liquids in the cooling unit pool
in places they shouldn't and cause the boiler to overheat and plug or
crack.

All refrigerators, except the Sibir, need to be leveled on the freezer
plate (if present) or the freezer floor, if there is no freezer
plate. Use a round bubble level and level the RV so that at least half
the bubble in the level is inside the circle. The Sibir,
which has a slanting freezer floor, is leveled on the bottom shelf of
the refrigerator.

Traveling with the refrigerator on is acceptable, since the liquids in
the cooling unit are sloshing and not pooling.

They make their living from rebuilding RV fridge cooling units, so
should know.
