What size fridge do I need for my kitchen?
The size of your fridge depends on your kitchen space and storage needs. Measure the designated area to ensure a proper fit and consider your household size—larger families may require taller larder fridges, while smaller homes may benefit from compact or under-counter models.
How often should I clean my fridge?
It's recommended to clean your fridge every 3 to 4 months. Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and efficiency. Wipe down surfaces, check for expired food, and ensure that seals are clean to prevent air leakage.
What is the best temperature for my fridge?
The ideal temperature for your Blomberg fridge is between 3°C and 5°C (37°F to 41°F). This range effectively preserves food freshness while inhibiting bacterial growth. For accurate monitoring, consider using an appliance thermometer placed in a glass of water on the middle shelf.

How can I improve my fridge’s energy efficiency?
To enhance your fridge's energy efficiency, consider the following tips:
- Keep the Fridge Full: A full fridge retains cold air better than an empty one. However, avoid overcrowding it, as this can restrict airflow and hinder cooling efficiency.
- Check Door Seals: Ensure that the door seals are airtight. Regularly inspect them for any damage or debris that may prevent a proper seal, as air leaks can cause the fridge to work harder to maintain temperature.
- Maintain Proper Temperature: Set your fridge to the recommended temperature (around 3°C or 37°F) and your freezer to -18°C (0°F) for optimal energy use.
- Avoid Heat Sources: Position your fridge away from heat sources like ovens, stoves, or direct sunlight. Heat can cause the fridge to work harder to maintain its internal temperature.
What should I do if my fridge is making unusual noises?
