Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Suffolk Deli" in Bury St Edmunds needed to replace an old, fixed display fridge that was inefficient and hard to clean around. They chose the Blizzard DC470 for its mobility and modern, professional look.
"The difference was immediate. Our cakes and sandwiches look so much more appealing under the LED lights, and being able to wheel the unit out to clean behind it is a massive time-saver for my team. It’s made our front-of-house operation much slicker."
Michael Davies – Owner
After installation, the deli reported a 25% increase in sales of chilled drinks and pre-packaged sandwiches within the first month.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the unit is on a level, stable surface before you start loading it.
- Use the locking castors at the front to secure the fridge firmly in place.
- Leave a gap of at least 10cm around the back and sides for proper air circulation.
- Once plugged in, let it run for 2-3 hours to reach its operating temperature before filling.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the interior surfaces and glass daily with a food-safe cleaner.
- The rear sliding doors can be removed for easier, more thorough cleaning.
- Regularly check that the rear vents are clear of dust and debris to maintain efficiency.
- Inspect the door seals periodically to ensure they are clean and creating a tight seal.

Ever noticed in some fridges how items at the back are almost frozen while things near the door feel a bit warm? That's what fan-assisted cooling is designed to prevent. Think of it like a convection oven, but for cold air. A small internal fan gently circulates the chilled air all around the cabinet, from top to bottom and corner to corner. This means there are no 'warm spots' or 'cold pockets' – every single sandwich, cake, or drink is kept at the exact same, safe temperature. It's the key to keeping your food fresher for longer and ensuring consistent quality for your customers.
