2021 AF 996 Refrigerator level requirements

Hey guys we just purchased a new AF 996, which has the Nor-cold 7 cf 2-way. I want to be able stop along my travels and spend the night without leveling my AF 996 unless really off level. How much off center bubble can the rig be and not cause cooling issues with the Nor-cold??
Thanks for your reply!!

ALL Norcold Fridge has SAME level limitations

Per Norcold:

The refrigerator is made to operate within 3* off-level side to side and 6* off-level front to back (as looking from the front of the refrigerator).
Operating at more then these limits can cause damage to cooling system and create a risk of personal injury or property damage.
Make sure the vehicle is level before operating the refrigerator.

While the refrigerator should be level when vehicle is stopped, performance during travel is not usually affected.


Comfortably level......


New Camper..should have Fridge Manual with that info
Norcold N7 Series??

Ok thanks Old Biscuit, I was hoping to get a idea of how much of bubble in level could be off center. Just a general rule for a quick overnight stay without a precise level for extended stay. I downloaded the copy of the manual, thanks for the link.

Bubbles can vary.

I downloaded a level app for phone, it seems to work fine.

If you're really worried about being out of level and how it could hurt the fridge, then install this device:

3* is 5.24% slope
