• I don't recommend moving any fridge on its side. The liquid coolant will flow backward through the lines. If you do this you should let the fridge sit upright a couple of hours before plugging it in to let the coolant flow back to the compressor. Not doing so could burn out the compressor.

• Yes! I did, just make sure it is either 1) still in the box, or if it has been used and you are transporting, 2) make sure it has completed defrosted and that there are no items stored inside. I had this sitting in the backseat of my honda civic for two days before I unloaded it and it is working great.

• There is a correct way to do this. Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbjMVtrOa_4 The compressor suction line must be pointed up which you can observe from the rear of unit.
