Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Norfolk Deli in Holt was looking to upgrade its ageing, smaller display counter to better showcase their expanding range of local cheeses and charcuterie. They needed a unit that was not only larger but also had a more modern, premium feel to match their brand.
"The moment we switched it on, the difference was night and day. The lighting makes the products look incredible, and customers are definitely noticing items they would have missed before. It’s made our counter the true centrepiece of the shop."
Robert Finch – Owner, The Norfolk Deli
Since installing the Blizzard 2.5m serve over counter fridge, the deli has reported a 30% increase in sales from their chilled display section.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before it arrives, double-check your doorway and internal measurements – this is a large unit!
- Position it in its final spot, ensuring it's on a level surface to allow for proper drainage and door alignment.
- Leave a small gap around the unit for ventilation, which is crucial for the fridge to work efficiently.
- Plug it into a dedicated 13-amp socket. Avoid using extension leads. Let it run for 2-3 hours to reach temperature before stocking.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the stainless steel deck, glass, and exterior surfaces daily with a food-safe cleaner.
- Ensure the rear sliding doors are kept clean and can move freely along their tracks.
- Regularly check that nothing is obstructing the internal fans to ensure even air circulation.
- Periodically check and clean the condenser coils (when unplugged) to keep the unit running at peak efficiency.

Ever wondered how you're meant to properly clean the inside of a huge, fixed glass display? The hydraulic front glass on this unit is the clever answer. Instead of a heavy, awkward panel you have to struggle with, the front glass is fitted with hydraulic pistons. Think of it like the boot on a modern hatchback car – a gentle pull is all it takes for the glass to glide upwards smoothly and hold itself securely in place. This gives you wide-open, two-handed access to the entire display deck, making your end-of-day wipe-down faster, safer, and much less of a chore. It’s a simple feature that makes a massive difference to daily operations.
