For the same reason above, never put hot food in the refrigerator.

Every man for himself
Keep the refrigerator compressor from having to work twice as hard, always place the refrigerator away from heat sources, such as the stove, oven or microwave, and it is even a good idea to keep it away from heat and sunlight.
With these easy tips you can start contributing to energy efficiency and give the planet a break.
