Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Urban Grind', a busy coffee and brunch spot in Manchester, needed to streamline their cramped sandwich prep station. They replaced two small domestic fridges with a single Blizzard SNC2-DRW, fitting it snugly under their main counter.
"The difference is night and day. Having all our fillings in organised drawers right where we work has made our lunch rush so much smoother. No more bending down and rummaging around in a crowded fridge. It's just a simple, well-made machine that does its job perfectly."
Tom Williams – Owner
The change has helped them reduce average ticket times by over a minute during their peak lunch service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a firm, level surface to place the unit, using the adjustable feet to stop any wobbling.
- Leave at least 10cm of clear space around the sides and back for proper air circulation.
- Plug it into a suitable 13 amp socket. Avoid using extension cords.
- Let the fridge run for a few hours to reach its target temperature before you load it with stock.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior and interior drawer surfaces daily with a food-safe cleaner.
- Check and clean the condenser coils at the back or side every month to remove dust build-up.
- Regularly inspect the drawer seals to ensure they are clean and creating a tight seal when closed.
- Avoid over-filling the drawers, as this can block airflow and affect cooling performance.
