The fridge DOES work on a slope, the only reason they say not to is because of the flame, when this is lit, and if you are on a slope it can cause the flame to heat up the side protective panel, this is OK if you have the metal guard, but some fridges where fitted with a plastic guard - and when that gets hot it melts and catches fire. I know from first hand experience. It wont light becasue the ignitor is not in the path of the flame, if you take the exterior cover off from the side of the MH, you will see the cover and ignitor. Its all good stuff going on in there(as earlier mentioned by Goldseeker)
These type of fridges do not cool down when empty, they need to have things inside them to start the process, dont ask how or why, its just the way they work. If I want to pre-cool the fridge - and I usually dont bother, I would put some water bottles that have been in the house fridge over night or in the freezer.
