- Cons: At 156kg, it's a two-person job to position and install.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Northern Bite', a popular café in Leeds, found their single upright fridge was creating a bottleneck during their busy lunch service. They needed a solution that allowed multiple staff to access chilled ingredients without getting in each other's way.
"We used to have staff queuing to get to the fridge. The Blizzard 6 drawer refrigerated counter means two of our team can work side-by-side without any hassle. It’s made our prep line so much more fluid and a lot less stressful."
Ben Carter – Owner
The result? Service speed during their peak 12-2pm slot has improved by an estimated 25%, allowing them to serve more customers, faster.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the unit is on a firm, level surface; use the adjustable feet to get it perfectly balanced.
- Leave at least 10cm of clear space around the back and sides to allow for proper air ventilation.
- Plug directly into a suitable 13-amp socket. We strongly advise against using extension leads.
- Let the fridge run for 2-3 hours to reach its target temperature before you start loading it with produce.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior and interior surfaces daily with a soft, damp cloth and food-safe cleaner.
- Clean the drawer gaskets (the rubber seals) weekly to ensure they remain airtight and efficient.
- Gently hoover the condenser coils at the back every month or so to remove dust build-up, which improves efficiency.
- Regularly check the digital temperature display to ensure it's holding the correct temperature.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I fit standard Gastronorm pans in the drawers?
A: Yes, absolutely. The drawers are designed specifically to accept GN1/1 trays, making it easy to swap them between your counter and other equipment.
Q: What is the temperature range of this unit?
A: It operates efficiently between +2°C and +8°C, which is the ideal range for keeping most fresh ingredients, from salads to meats, perfectly chilled.
Q: Is the stainless steel exterior easy to keep clean?
A: Yes, it's made from high-quality stainless steel which is simple to wipe down with a damp cloth and a food-safe sanitiser.
Q: Can I install this unit flush against a wall?
A: It's not recommended. For the refrigeration system to work efficiently, you should leave about 10cm of space at the back and sides for proper air circulation.
Q: Does the counter come on wheels or feet?
A: It comes with sturdy, height-adjustable legs as standard to ensure it can be levelled perfectly. Castors are available as an optional extra if you need mobility.
Q: What kind of power supply does it require?
A: It runs on a standard UK 13 amp plug, so no special wiring or electrician is needed for installation.
Q: How noisy are the drawers?
A: They are designed with a soft-closing mechanism, which helps to minimise noise and impact in a busy kitchen environment.
Q: What is R290 refrigerant?
A: R290 (Propane) is a modern, energy-efficient hydrocarbon refrigerant that has a much lower environmental impact than older refrigerant gases.
