Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Café in Torquay, Devon, needed to expand their cold storage to cope with the busy summer season but had limited space. They chose the Best Frost BR400 for its slim profile and generous capacity.

"We were constantly running out of space for our fresh cakes and bottled drinks during peak times. This fridge fitted perfectly into a tight spot and has taken the pressure off our main kitchen unit. It's been incredibly reliable from day one."

Robert Davies – Owner

The extra storage allowed them to increase their cake and drink variety, leading to a 15% rise in high-margin cold item sales during their first month of use.

Understanding Manual Defrost: Simple, Reliable Cooling

You might see 'Manual Defrost' and think it sounds like a chore, but it’s actually a feature with some clever benefits. In a manual defrost fridge, a thin layer of ice will naturally form on the cooling element over time. Defrosting is as simple as turning the unit off, letting the ice melt, and wiping it dry. Think of it like giving your car a clean – a small bit of planned upkeep that keeps it running perfectly. The big advantage? The internal mechanics are far simpler than in an automatic defrost model. This means there are fewer complex parts that can break down, often leading to a longer, more reliable service life with fewer costly repair bills.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

After delivery, let the fridge stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Position the unit on a flat, level surface using the adjustable feet for stability.
Ensure there's at least 10cm of clear space around the sides and back for proper air circulation.
Plug directly into a standard 13 amp socket; avoid using extension cords.

Keeping It Going

Wipe the interior surfaces and door seals weekly with a mild detergent and warm water.
Every couple of months, carefully dust the condenser coils at the back to maintain efficiency.
Perform a manual defrost when ice build-up becomes thicker than 5mm (about a quarter-inch).
Regularly check that the door seal is clean and creating a tight seal to keep cold air in.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Upright Fridge

Not sure which fridge is the perfect fit for your space? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Measure Your Space

Double-check the height, width, and depth of your intended location. Remember to leave about 10cm of clearance around the unit for ventilation to ensure it runs efficiently.

Capacity vs. Footprint

This 336 litre commercial refrigerator offers great storage. Consider if your daily stock requires this much space, or if a smaller unit might suit a very tight kitchen better.

Defrost Type Matters

Manual defrost models like this one are cost-effective and have simpler mechanics. Automatic defrost models save labour but often come with a higher initial price tag.

Check the Energy Rating

A good energy rating, like this model's 'C' grade, directly translates into lower electricity bills over the fridge's lifetime – a crucial saving for any business.

Understand Climate Class

Climate Class 4 means this fridge is designed to work perfectly in ambient room temperatures up to 30°C, making it ideal for the vast majority of UK professional kitchens.
