Blaze 20-Inch 4.3 Cu. Ft. Outdoor Rated Compact Refrigerator

Overall Dimensions: 20-1/2 in W x 22-5/8 in D x 33-1/8 in H

The Blaze 20 in 4.3 cu ft compact refrigerator (BLZ-SSRF20-4.3) is an outdoor-rated, 304 stainless steel fridge sized for the narrow bay beside a grill. It holds about 100 cans at 34 to 50 F, so it works for meat and marinades as well as drinks, and a lock and door-ajar alarm keep it secure when the kitchen is not in use.

Key Specifications

Dimensions and Cutout

What Is Included and What You Will Need

• Blaze BLZ-SSRF20-4.3 20 in compact refrigerator with shelves, door racks, lock and keys
• You will need: a dedicated grounded 115 V outlet (GFCI protected outdoors) and, for a built-in, an island bay sized to the cutout with rear ventilation

Installation Notes

Blaze designs this unit to run freestanding or built in. When you recess it into an island, Blaze's manual calls for at least 2 in of clearance at the sides and top, ventilation at the back for the compressor and condenser, and a completely unobstructed front grille. Let it stand upright for about 24 hours before plugging it in, then level it with the four legs.

It needs a dedicated, grounded 115 V outlet on a 15 A circuit with no extension cord; outdoor outlets should be GFCI protected and installed by a licensed electrician. Blaze recommends an area that stays between about 60 F and 90 F and is sheltered from wind, rain and water spray, so a covered patio or a recessed island bay will give the best performance and the longest life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it go under a countertop?

Yes. At 33-1/8 in tall it fits under a standard outdoor countertop; leave 2 in at the sides and top and keep the front grille clear.

Is it cold enough for meat?

Yes. It holds 34 to 50 F, which covers both raw meat storage and drinks.

Should I unplug it for winter?

In freezing climates Blaze recommends winterizing: empty, clean and dry it, prop the door and store it in a dry place.
