Hot dishes can not be put directly in the refrigerator, it will damage the refrigerator.

Reason:

When hot dishes are put directly into the refrigerator, the temperature inside the refrigerator will rise. The compressor starts frequently and the working time is lengthened, which is not good for the long-term use of the refrigerator and has a certain impact on the service life of the refrigerator, as the wear and tear of the refrigerator is increased.

When hot food is put directly into the refrigerator, the temperature inside the refrigerator will rise. For other frozen food inside the refrigerator, the temperature rises, it loses its low-temperature preservation effect. There is a possibility that the other frozen foods inside the refrigerator may spoil.

So, if the dish is still hot, put it at room temperature first for natural cooling before putting it in the refrigerator.
