Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Mill Bakery in Aberystwyth needed to upgrade from their ageing, smaller fridge that was struggling to keep up with their growing wholesale orders. They chose the Blizzard BR1SSCR for its large capacity and  GN compatibility.

"The visibility is fantastic. We can instantly see our stock levels, which has made ordering so much more efficient. Everything is kept at a perfectly consistent temperature, which gives us huge peace of mind, especially with our cream cakes."

Robert Evans – Head Baker

The bakery has since reported a 20% reduction in ingredient wastage and  can now prepare for large orders a day earlier, improving their operational workflow significantly.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Let the unit stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant gases to settle.
  • Ensure there's a gap of at least 10cm around the sides and  back for proper air circulation.
  • Position on a flat, level surface, using the lockable front castors to secure it in place.
  • Before stocking, plug it in and  allow it to reach its operating temperature (check the digital display).

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the interior surfaces and  door seals weekly with a food-safe cleaner.
  • Regularly check that the door seals are clean and  making a tight connection to prevent cold air from escaping.
  • Gently brush any dust or debris from the condenser coils (usually at the back or bottom) every few months to maintain efficiency.
  • Avoid obstructing the internal fan to ensure air can circulate freely for even cooling.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Refrigerator

Not sure which commercial fridge is the perfect fit for your business? Here are a few key things to consider to help you make the right choice.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Think about how much storage you need versus the space you have available. A tall, upright model like this 650-litre unit offers fantastic capacity on a relatively small footprint.

The Gastronorm Advantage

If your kitchen uses Gastronorm (GN) containers, a compatible fridge is a must. It allows you to move trays seamlessly between prep stations, ovens, and  fridges, saving huge amounts of time and  hassle.

Glass Door vs. Solid Door

A glass door is perfect for display or for quickly identifying contents without letting the cold air out. Solid doors offer slightly better insulation and  are great for back-of-house storage.

Energy Efficiency

Look for features like double-glazing, good insulation (60mm here), and  modern refrigerants like R290. An efficient fridge will save you a significant amount on your electricity bills over its lifetime.

Built to Last

The grade of stainless steel matters. Grade 304 is highly resistant to rust and  corrosion, making it the ideal choice for demanding, humid kitchen environments and  ensuring a longer lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does GN2/1 compatible mean?

A: It means the internal shelves are designed to hold two 1/1 Gastronorm pans side-by-side, or one full 2/1 pan. It's a standard size in professional kitchens, making it easy to swap containers.

Q: Can I adjust the height of the shelves?

A: Yes, the four shelves provided are fully adjustable, allowing you to customise the internal layout to fit taller items like bottles or larger containers.

Q: Is this unit suitable for storing fresh meat?

A: Absolutely. The temperature range of +2°C to +8°C and  the ventilated cooling system make it perfectly suitable for the safe storage of fresh meat and  poultry.

Q: How noisy is this commercial glass door refrigerator?

A: Commercial refrigerators are designed for performance and  are generally more audible than domestic units. However, the Blizzard BR1SSCR is engineered for efficiency, and  its noise level is standard for a professional kitchen environment.

Q: What is R290 refrigerant?

A: R290 (Propane) is a natural, highly efficient, and  environmentally friendly refrigerant with a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP). It helps reduce the fridge's energy consumption.

Q: Does the double-glazed door get condensation?

A: The double glazing provides excellent insulation which significantly minimises the risk of condensation, ensuring your products are always clearly visible.

Q: How do I clean the stainless steel exterior?

A: Simply use a soft cloth and  a dedicated stainless steel cleaner or a mild detergent solution. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid scratches and  maintain its shine.

Q: Is the door lockable?

A: Yes, the door comes with an integrated lock, providing security for your valuable stock, particularly for overnight storage.

Why Ventilated Cooling Makes All the Difference

Ever had a fridge where things at the back are frozen solid but items by the door feel a bit lukewarm? That’s often the case with static cooling. This Blizzard fridge uses a 'ventilated' (or fan-assisted) system, which is a bit like having a tiny, gentle fan inside. It constantly circulates the cold air around the entire cabinet, from top to bottom and  front to back. This means every single item on every shelf gets the same level of chill, ensuring consistent and  safe storage. It's especially important in a busy kitchen where the door is opened frequently, as the fan helps the temperature recover much, much faster. It's the secret to keeping your food fresher for longer.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurants & Pubs: Perfect for storing prepped ingredients in GN pans, ready to go straight from the fridge to the line.
  • High-Street Cafés & Delis: The glass door beautifully displays fresh sandwiches, drinks, and  cakes, tempting customers while keeping stock chilled.
  • Farm Shops & Grocers: An ideal ventilated commercial display fridge for showcasing local produce, cheeses, and  charcuterie in prime condition.
  • School & Office Canteens: Its large capacity and  robust build can easily handle the daily demands of storing milk, yoghurt, and  fresh items.
