Allow hot foods to cool slightly uncovered before refrigerating. Leave them uncovered in the fridge until quite cool. Put a folded kitchen towel or newspaper under the dish before placing in the refrigerator to avoid the risk of the dish cracking from contact with cold shelves. Very hot foods placed in a refrigerator will adversely affect other foods stored there, and will take longer to cool because the interior of the fridge will have become warmer.

What is a bottom freezer refrigerator?
its not always at the bottom its just the way yours is made some other people have asked why is it at the TOP of the refrigerator so my answer is that its just a selective spot depending on what fridge you have. In fact, the majority of refrigerator/freezer combinations have the freezer on top. As mentioned in other posts, hot air rises and cold air sinks, so freezer-on-top models can transfer cold air to the refrigerator without using as much electricity as other models, making freezer-on-top models the most energy efficient refrigerators (generally speaking) that you can buy.
