Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Clifton Cask, a popular gastropub in Bristol, was constantly running out of cold storage during their packed weekend services. They upgraded to the Blizzard HBC803 to gain both capacity and extra prep space in their tight kitchen.
"Having the three doors has totally changed our workflow. The team can grab what they need without getting in each other's way, and the extra deep counter means we can plate up more efficiently. It's just a solid, dependable bit of kit."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
The new setup has helped them reduce prep time by 20% during their busiest evening shifts.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a spot with good airflow around the unit, especially the back and sides, to help the condenser work efficiently.
- Once in position, use the lockable castors to ensure the fridge is stable and level.
- Leave the unit to stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to let the refrigerant oils settle.
- Before loading with stock, let it run for a few hours to reach its optimal operating temperature.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the door seals (gaskets) weekly with a damp cloth to prevent splits and maintain a tight seal.
- Clean the interior regularly with a food-safe cleaner to maintain hygiene standards.
- Every month or so, gently brush any dust or debris from the condenser coils to keep it running efficiently.
- Avoid overloading the shelves to ensure cold air can circulate properly around the food.

Explore more from BlizzardHow Ducted Cooling Keeps Your Ingredients Fresher for Longer
Ever noticed in some fridges how items at the back are almost frozen while things by the door feel a bit warmer? That's what a 'ducted system' is designed to prevent. Think of it like central heating for your fridge, but in reverse. Instead of a single fan just blasting cold air from one spot, a ducted system uses a series of vents to distribute the chilled air evenly throughout the entire cabinet. This means the temperature on the top shelf by the door is just as perfectly cold as the bottom shelf at the back. The result? More consistent, reliable cooling that keeps all your food safer and fresher for longer.
