Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender Tea Room in Harrogate needed a flexible cold storage solution to cope with their popular seasonal afternoon teas. Their existing fridge was overflowing during summer, but a dedicated large freezer felt like an unnecessary expense for the winter months.

"The Bestfrost UFF30 was the perfect fit. We use it as a fridge for all our fresh cream and sandwiches from April to September, then switch it to a freezer for our winter scone batches and festive stock. It's saved us so much space and hassle."

Robert Miller – Owner, The Lavender Tea Room

This single purchase eliminated the need for a second appliance, freeing up valuable kitchen space and improving their workflow efficiency during peak seasons.

Say Goodbye to Icy Build-Up: How Frost-Free Operation Helps Your Kitchen

Ever had to chip away at a mountain of ice inside a freezer? The 'frost-free' feature on this commercial upright refrigerator is designed to make that a thing of the past. Think of it as a clever, automatic maintenance assistant working quietly in the background. A small fan constantly circulates cold air around the cabinet, preventing ice crystals from getting a chance to form on your food or the interior walls. It’s the difference between a clear, organised unit and an icy cave where stock gets lost.

This doesn't just save you the tedious job of manual defrosting; it also means the unit runs more efficiently and maintains a far more stable temperature. Your ingredients are better protected from freezer burn, and you can always see exactly what you have in stock, saving you time, energy, and money.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

Find a well-ventilated spot on a flat, level surface away from direct heat sources.
Leave a gap of at least 10cm around the sides and back for air to circulate properly.
Once in position, let the unit stand for at least 4 hours to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Before loading with stock, plug it in and let it reach the desired temperature (fridge or freezer mode).

Keeping It Going

Regularly wipe the door seals with a damp cloth to ensure they remain clean and effective.
Clean the seven drawers with warm, soapy water as needed to maintain hygiene.
Check that the interior air vents aren't blocked by packaging to ensure good airflow.
As it's frost-free, you won't need to manually defrost, but an annual deep clean is always good practice.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Fridge Freezer

Not sure what fits your kitchen best? Let's break down the key things to consider when choosing an upright catering refrigerator 300 litre or similar model.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Make sure the internal capacity meets your storage needs, but don't forget to measure the external space you have available, including room for ventilation.

Fridge, Freezer, or Both?

Consider if your needs change seasonally. A dual-function unit like this one offers incredible flexibility, saving you from buying two separate appliances.

Understanding 'Duty Rating'

A 'light-duty' rating is perfect for most cafés, B&Bs, and small kitchens. 'Medium' or 'heavy-duty' units are for high-traffic environments with higher ambient temperatures.

Check the Energy Rating

An appliance is on 24/7, so a better energy rating can lead to significant savings on your electricity bills over the unit's lifespan.

Look for Smart Features

Features like reversible doors, alarms, and frost-free technology might seem small, but they make a huge difference to your daily operations and peace of mind.
