You can put food in immediately. Even though it will take the refrigerator some time to cool to the temperature at which you have set it, food does not go bad instantly. The delay will make no difference.

If it's a brand-new fridge - It needs to stand for 24 hours after you get it - to allow the gasses in the heat-echange system to 'settle' - After that, just plug it in and let it get down to it's working temperature (typically 5oC)

You can start storing food as soon as it's at the correct temperature.
