level refrigerator
OK, I have seen this on here before but I cannot find the answer. How many degrees each direction can your fridge be off and still be safe? I think it's 3 degrees one direction but I don't know which ...

This was the answer I got from dometic:
Hello,
I have a Dometic fridge in my truck camper, I believe it is a 2652. I've read the manual but can't seem to find anywhere that says how level the fridge needs to be. I'd like to have a number in degrees if you publish such a thing. I know that Norcold recommends being within 3 degrees sideways and 6 degrees front to back (when looking at the fridge). Would this be a reasonable limit for the Dometic as well?
thanks.

Mike,
That is a good measure to follow....we don't publish a certain degree but as long as you are comfortable and don't feel like you are having to go up or down a hill the unit should be fine....just want to make sure that when in operation the fluids in the cooling unit can cycle properly....I have attached a document so you can see how the fluid flows.
Thank you,
Sandy
