The instructions say to keep it vertical. I assume that this is because the inner structure isn't just a simple tube, and air bubbles can accumulate in there, which can screw up the heater.
I just give mine a good shake whenever I get air in the system, and will be rearranging things next week so that it is oriented straight up.
I don't think it's to stop air bubbles, but to keep the inner part of the heater from getting crud built-up in it. I think that's the primary reason for placing it verticle.
