- Pros: The sliding doors are exceptionally smooth and save a huge amount of aisle space.
- Cons: The internal fan can be a touch audible during very quiet periods.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Anchor & Compass', a bustling seaside pub in Brighton, needed to replace their old, inefficient hinged-door cooler. The tight space behind the bar meant the old doors were constantly getting in the way during busy shifts, slowing down service.
"The Blizzard BAR2SL has been brilliant. The sliding doors mean our staff aren't bumping into each other anymore, and the temperature is rock solid, even on the hottest bank holiday weekend. Our drinks are colder and our service is faster."
Michael Davies – Pub Manager
By switching to this sliding door back bar cooler, the pub has improved workflow, resulting in an estimated 15% reduction in drink serving times during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a flat, level surface that can comfortably support the cooler's full weight.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for proper air circulation.
- Once in position, let the cooler stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to let the refrigerant settle.
- Plug into a standard 13 amp socket and allow it to reach the desired temperature before loading with stock.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the interior surfaces and shelves weekly with a food-safe cleaner.
- Regularly check and clean the rubber door seals to ensure a tight closure.
- Gently brush any dust or debris from the condenser coils at the back every few months to maintain efficiency.
- Avoid blocking the internal fans with stock to ensure even air distribution.
