Product Overview
Running a busy kitchen, bar, or café often means making every inch of space count. That's where the Blizzard SNC3 comes in, a brilliantly designed 3 door low height counter fridge that slides neatly under bespoke or non-standard worktops.

With a tough stainless steel interior and exterior, a generous 317-litre capacity, and three self-closing doors, it’s tailor-made for pubs, snack bars, and prep kitchens.

Expert Review and Insights
The Blizzard SNC3 is a real problem-solver. That 650mm height is brilliant for awkward spaces under bars or custom-built counters where standard units just won't go. It's not just about size, though; the ducted cooling is a standout feature at this price, giving you confidence that everything from your salads to your sauces is kept at the perfect, safe temperature.
Liam Sinclair – Refrigeration Expert View Profile →
- Pros: The ducted air system delivers excellent, uniform cooling.
- Cons: Weighing 126kg, it's definitely a two-person job to install.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Northern Cask', a craft beer pub in Leeds, needed a reliable under-bar fridge that would fit beneath their vintage oak bar top without requiring costly modifications.
"We were struggling to find a fridge that would fit under our counter. The Blizzard SNC3 slid in perfectly. The temperature is spot-on, and having three doors means we can organise our craft cans and bottles so much better during the weekend rush."
Robert Davies – Pub Manager
The new setup allowed them to increase their chilled drink range by 25%, directly boosting sales.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the unit is on a firm, level surface; adjust the feet if necessary.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for good ventilation.
- Once in position, let the fridge stand for 3-4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
- Plug into a suitable mains socket and avoid using extension cords.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe the interior surfaces weekly with a food-safe cleaner and warm water.
- Regularly check and clean the door seals (gaskets) to ensure they are free from grime.
- Every month or so, carefully brush any dust from the condenser coils to maintain efficiency.
- Ensure the doors are not obstructed and can close properly to maintain a tight seal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a GN1/1 shelf?
A: It's a standard Gastronorm size (530x325mm), meaning it fits the universal trays and pans used across the catering industry, making it easy to swap them between appliances.
Q: Can I put this fridge right up against a wall?
A: It's best to leave a small gap of around 10cm at the back and sides. This allows air to circulate freely around the condenser, which helps the fridge run efficiently.
Q: Is the stainless steel finish easy to keep clean?
A: Absolutely. Stainless steel is non-porous and very hygienic. It can be easily wiped down with appropriate cleaners to keep it looking professional.
Q: What does 'self-closing doors with dwell position' mean?
A: The doors are hinged to swing shut on their own, saving energy. The 'dwell position' means they will stay open past 90 degrees, which is handy when you're loading stock with both hands.
Q: How do I adjust the temperature?
A: The unit has a user-friendly digital controller on the front panel. This allows you to set and monitor the internal temperature with precision.
Q: What is R290 refrigerant?
A: R290 (Propane) is a modern, natural, and environmentally friendly refrigerant. It has a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it a much greener and more energy-efficient choice.
Q: Is this unit suitable for a very hot kitchen?
A: It has a Climate Class 4 rating, which means it's designed to operate effectively in ambient (room) temperatures up to 30°C and 55% humidity.
Q: Are the door gaskets easy to replace?
A: Yes, the gaskets are designed to be easily removed for cleaning and can be replaced without needing a technician, helping you maintain efficiency over the unit's lifespan.

Explore more from BlizzardHow Ducted Cooling Keeps Your Ingredients Fresher
Ever had a fridge where items at the back freeze while those at the front are barely cool? That's what a ducted cooling system prevents. Think of it like central heating, but for cold air. Instead of a single fan blasting air from one spot, this system uses special channels (ducts) to guide and distribute the chilled air evenly throughout the entire cabinet. This smart design means no more 'warm spots' or 'frozen corners', ensuring every single ingredient, from the lettuce in the front to the cheese at the back, is held at the perfect, food-safe temperature. It's the secret to consistent quality and less food waste.
