Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Slice, a bustling pizza parlour in Cardiff, needed to replace their old, inefficient drinks fridge. They wanted something that not only performed better but also looked the part in their newly refurbished customer area.
"The new display cooler immediately made our front counter look more professional. The lightbox is fantastic for our branding, and customers are definitely drawn to it. It’s quiet, reliable, and keeps everything at the perfect temperature, even on a busy Friday night."
Robert Evans – Owner, The Corner Slice
Since installing the CJ794 display cooler, the parlour has reported a noticeable uplift in drink sales, particularly high-margin craft sodas, by over 20%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Once delivered, let the unit stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerant oils to settle.
- Position the fridge on a flat, level surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources like ovens.
- Ensure there is adequate ventilation space around the back and sides of the unit (check the manual for specifics).
- Plug it in and allow it to reach its operating temperature before loading it with products.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the interior surfaces and shelves weekly with a food-safe cleaner.
- Regularly clean the user-replaceable door seals to ensure a tight closure and maintain efficiency.
- Crucially, clean the condenser coil (usually at the back or base) at least four times a year to prevent dust build-up and maintain performance.
- Check the temperature dial periodically to ensure it’s holding at your desired setting, around 4°C for best results.

Explore more from Nisbets EssentialsHow Fan-Assisted Cooling Guarantees the Perfect Sip
Ever grabbed a drink from a fridge only to find it's disappointingly lukewarm? That's often due to poor air circulation. This commercial upright display fridge solves that with fan-assisted cooling. Think of it like the difference between a still, stuffy room and one with a fan on – the fan moves the air around, making the entire space feel consistently cool. Inside the fridge, a small fan does the exact same thing with the cold air. It blows it gently around the whole cabinet, eliminating warm spots and ensuring that the bottle in the top corner is just as perfectly chilled as the one at the bottom front. It’s a simple feature that guarantees every single product you sell delivers that satisfyingly crisp, cold experience your customers expect.
