Can an air conditioner be turned upside down or sideways?
No, an air conditioner should remain in the upright position at all times. Failing to adhere to this will result in damage to your unit. The system contains oil and cooling fluids that when disturbed can be dispersed into areas not conducive to healthy operation. If your air conditioner has been placed on its side or upside down for any reason, you should right it and wait 24 hours before operation.
