The reason that a new freezer has to be switched on for 12 hours before putting any food in it is so that the freezer will have time to get to the proper temperature for food storage. The freezer is too warm when it is first turned on, and food put in would likely spoil.

Can you lay down a freezer?

Yes, I can provide general advice on how to lay down a freezer. First, make sure to empty the freezer and unplug it. Allow it to defrost completely before moving it. Use a dolly or a flat sled to carefully transport and lay down the freezer on its side, ensuring it is securely balanced to prevent damage to the compressor. Wait 24 hours before plugging it back in to allow the refrigerant to settle before turning it on.
