Can the fridge stand on the floor heating?
Can the fridge stand on the floor with underfloor heating? Is it forbidden to place the fridge on underfloor heating?

If the fridge will stand directly on the floor heating, it will definitely use more electricity. So it's worth thinking about some other solution.
You do not have to give up underfloor heating. You can put a thermal insulation mat under the fridge and the problem will be solved. The more so because the kitchen is usually warmer than in the rest of the house and you probably will not need to heat there all the time to the maximum.
In general, no insulation mat is needed. The refrigerator can normally stand on the floor heating. Will it use more electricity? I don't know, if so, you probably won't even feel it on your bills. If you do not find in the instructions contraindications for putting the fridge on the floor heating (and you will not find it, I did not find it at my place) then you can bet.
We have floor heating, there is a fridge on it and there is no problem with it. Refrigerators are well insulated, this will not affect the contents of the refrigerator.
Fridge probably consumes the same amount of electricity as before, i.e. we changed our electricity bill to a higher one, but this is because we moved to a larger place, we bought an additional dishwasher and more space is lit.
Currently, underfloor heating is becoming increasingly common in kitchens, and I haven't heard anyone mix a fridge with it. My brother-in-law had just built a house and has underfloor heating, and from what I can remember, the fridge is normally standing on their kitchen floor.
We have underfloor heating in the kitchen and a fridge. This is not a problem, the refrigerator works as it should be for over a year.
The refrigerator can stand on underfloor heating. One thing does not hurt the other. After all, you will not turn this floor heating on to the max.
It will probably use a little more energy, but overall it can stand. Because it will heat from below. Even when the floor is slightly adjusted.
The refrigerator can be placed on underfloor heating, but there are some considerations to take into account.
In case of large temperature differences between the environment and the temperature of the stored products, underfloor heating can increase the energy consumption of the refrigerator.
However, brackets and built-in structures underneath refrigerator provide thermal separation.
If you are planning a kitchen renovation, you should consider the placement of furniture and appliances in conjunction with underfloor heating.
If the refrigerator is placed on a warm floor, the compressor may work more actively, which may lead to overheating and shorten the life of the appliance.
To protect the refrigerator, you can put a sheet of thermal insulation material under it.
