Cloth towels
Many people often spread a cloth on the top of the refrigerator to prevent dust and dirt, but this is not the correct way to use it. Cloth towels may prevent the refrigerator from dissipating heat well, over time affecting operating efficiency and reducing device durability.
Household appliances
To save space, many people often put small appliances such as microwaves, ovens or blenders on the top of the refrigerator. However, these devices and refrigerators both generate large amounts of heat when operating, which can affect each other’s performance and even pose a risk of fire and explosion.
Ornamental plants
Ornamental plants have the ability to absorb part of the radiation from electronic devices, but placing plants on the refrigerator can cause many problems such as: attracting pests that affect food preservation. Water humidity from watering plants can affect the refrigerator, causing the device to rust.
What should be placed on the top of the refrigerator?
Some manufacturers will suggest what items users are allowed to place on the top of the refrigerator. Thereby, you can place appropriate items to ensure safety and increase the lifespan of the refrigerator. However, in reality, it is best not to put anything on the top of the refrigerator because if you place anything, whether heavy or light, there is still a potential risk of falling or fire.
