Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Corner Slice", a popular pizzeria in Bristol, needed to replace their ageing prep fridge. They were struggling with inconsistent temperatures and lacked a dedicated, cool surface for preparing their signature sourdough bases, which was slowing down service during busy weekend rushes.
"This Blizzard unit has been brilliant. The granite top is a dream for our dough, and the refrigeration is rock-solid. It's made our pizza prep so much smoother and more consistent, which our customers have definitely noticed. It keeps up without a problem, even on a hectic Friday night."
David Chen – Owner, The Corner Slice
Since installation, The Corner Slice has sped up its pizza prep time by an estimated 20% during peak hours, leading to faster service and happier customers.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Once in position, let the fridge stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
- Ensure there's a gap of at least 10cm around the back and sides for proper air circulation.
- Use the adjustable feet to make sure the unit is completely level for optimal door sealing and performance.
- Before loading with stock, plug it in and allow it to reach its operating temperature.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the stainless steel surfaces and door seals daily with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Clean the removable condenser filter once a month to prevent dust build-up and ensure efficiency. A quick brush or vacuum is all it needs.
- Regularly check that the internal temperature is within the correct +2°C to +8°C range.
- For cleaning the granite, use a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid acidic or abrasive products to protect the surface.
