Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Urban Deli" in Cardiff needed to speed up their lunchtime service as their old, smaller prep fridge was causing bottlenecks. They chose the Blizzard TOP1500-14CR to give them more capacity and  better organisation right on the main counter.

"It’s made a massive difference. Everything is organised, perfectly chilled, and  right in front of us. Our sandwich makers can fly through orders now, and  customers have commented on how much quicker the queue moves."

David Chen – Owner

The new setup has increased their lunchtime order output by over 30%, significantly reducing customer waiting times.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a sturdy, level countertop for the unit to sit on.
  • Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and  sides for proper air circulation.
  • Before plugging in, give the interior a quick wipe-down with a food-safe cleaner.
  • Once plugged in, allow the unit to reach its target temperature before loading it with ingredients.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel surfaces, inside and  out, at the end of each day.
  • Clean the glass cover regularly with a suitable glass cleaner to keep it sparkling.
  • Ensure the ventilation grilles are never blocked by boxes or other equipment.
  • Periodically check the door seals for any splits or gaps to ensure it's closing efficiently.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Prep Counter

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few pointers to help you pick the perfect refrigerated prep station for your business.

Measure Your Space

It sounds obvious, but double-check your counter dimensions. Ensure you have enough room for the unit itself, plus space for ventilation.

Check Your Pan Size

This unit is designed for 1/4 GN pans. Make sure this matches the gastronorm pans you already use in your kitchen to avoid any surprises.

Consider the Cooling

Static cooling, like in this model, is great for delicate items like salad leaves as it doesn't dry them out. Fan-assisted is better for very hot kitchens.

Glass Guard or Solid Lid?

A glass cover is perfect for front-of-house or when staff need to see ingredients quickly. A solid lid offers better insulation if it's purely for back-of-house storage.

Power Up

A 'plug and  play' 13-amp model is the easiest to install. More powerful units might require a specialist electrician, so always check the power supply.

A: This prep counter accepts gastronorm pans up to 150mm deep.

Q: Is the glass cover easy to remove for cleaning?

Why a Digital Controller Is Your Secret Weapon

You’ll see 'Dixell Digital Controller' listed, but what does that actually mean for your kitchen? Think of it like the difference between an old-fashioned thermostat dial and  a modern smart home system. Instead of guessing a temperature on a vague 1-to-5 dial, a digital controller lets you set the exact temperature you need (say, 4°C) and  it works tirelessly to maintain it. This precision means your ingredients are always held in the perfect, food-safe conditions, reducing spoilage and  waste. It takes the guesswork out of food safety, giving you consistent results and  complete peace of mind.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Sandwich Bars & Delis: Keep all your fillings, salads, and  spreads perfectly chilled and  within easy reach for rapid service.
  • Pizzerias: An ideal station for organising all your pizza toppings, from mozzarella to pepperoni, for faster assembly.
  • Salad Bars: Display a fresh, vibrant selection of ingredients hygienically under the protective glass top.
  • Mobile Caterers: Its compact, countertop design and  standard plug make it perfect for food trucks and  event catering.
