Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Slice, a popular artisan pizza spot in Cardiff, needed to replace an old, inefficient fridge that was struggling to keep up with their growing demand for fresh toppings.

"The Blizzard upright is spot on. It holds a consistent temperature, even when we're constantly opening the door during the lunch rush. It's compact but surprisingly spacious inside, which has really helped streamline our prep station."

Tom Williams – Head Chef

The new unit has allowed them to increase their fresh ingredient storage by 25%, ensuring better stock rotation and  fresher toppings for every pizza.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a level, stable surface away from direct heat sources like ovens or grills.
  • Leave a gap of at least 10cm around the back and  sides for proper air circulation.
  • Once in position, let the unit stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to let the refrigerant settle.
  • Use the digital controller to set your desired temperature between +2°C and  +10°C.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the interior weekly with a food-safe cleaner and  a damp cloth.
  • Regularly clean the door gasket (the rubber seal) to ensure it remains effective.
  • Check that the air vents inside are not blocked by food items to maintain good airflow.
  • Gently wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth to maintain its professional look.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Upright Fridge

Not sure which chiller is the right fit for your business? Here are a few key points to consider before you buy.

Measure Twice, Buy Once

Check your available height, width, and  depth. Don't forget to account for door opening space and  essential ventilation gaps at the back and  top.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Be realistic about your storage needs. A larger fridge costs more to run, so choose a capacity like this upright commercial refrigerator 320 litre model that meets your needs without wasting energy or space.

Material Matters

A stainless steel single door fridge is the industry standard for a reason: it's durable, hygienic, and  can withstand the knocks and  spills of a professional kitchen.

Check the Engine

Look at the refrigerant (like this model's eco-friendly R600a) and  power rating. An efficient unit will save you a significant amount on your electricity bills over its lifetime.

Location, Location, Location

Consider your kitchen's ambient temperature. A unit with an appropriate Climate Class will work more efficiently and  last longer.
