Product Description
The Polar G-Series double door counter fridge is a compact under-counter refrigeration unit designed to keep chilled ingredients close to the preparation area. Built in a painted steel finish with a stainless steel worktop, the black colourway makes it a practical choice where appearance matters — front-of-house prep counters, service stations, or open-kitchen environments where equipment is visible to customers or staff.
Fan-assisted cooling circulates air evenly throughout the cabinet, which helps maintain a consistent temperature across all shelf levels during a busy service. Recovery after door openings is reasonably prompt for a unit in this class, making it suitable for moderate-throughput kitchens where the fridge is accessed regularly but not continuously. The digital temperature controller allows precise adjustment within the dairy-safe range, and climate class 4 means it is rated to perform in warmer ambient kitchen conditions.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Stainless steel worktop provides a durable, cleanable surface directly above the unit
- Full 1/1 GN compatibility means standard gastronorm trays drop straight in without adapters
- Two adjustable shelves allow the interior to be configured around ingredient types and container sizes
- Removable door seals simplify cleaning and help maintain hygiene standards
- Compact footprint suits kitchens where under-counter space is the only available refrigeration position
Installation is straightforward — the unit is freestanding and requires only a standard mains connection. At 83kg it is manageable to position, though access to the condenser for routine cleaning should be factored into where it is sited. The R600a refrigerant carries a low global warming potential, which is worth noting for operators with sustainability reporting requirements. Ventilation clearance around the unit should be maintained as per the manufacturer's guidance to avoid affecting performance.
This counter fridge is well suited to small cafés, sandwich bars, grab-and-go counters, or as a secondary prep fridge in a larger kitchen. The 240-litre capacity is appropriate for day-to-day ingredient storage rather than bulk holding. For sites running higher service volumes or requiring continuous door access throughout a full shift, a larger or higher-specification model may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your counter space, service pattern, or ambient kitchen temperature, the team is happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For a kitchen running two services, the 240-litre capacity is generally adequate for daily ingredient prep storage, provided you are restocking from a larger walk-in or upright fridge rather than using this as your sole refrigeration. If the unit is being opened very frequently throughout both services, consider whether a larger-capacity model would offer better temperature stability under that level of use.
- Climate class 4 means the unit is rated to operate correctly in ambient temperatures up to around 38°C. This makes it suitable for most commercial kitchen environments, including those without air conditioning. If your kitchen runs significantly hotter than this — for example, near a bank of cooking equipment with limited ventilation — it is worth discussing the installation position before purchasing.
- Yes — the unit ships with two adjustable shelves as standard, and additional shelves and runners can be purchased separately to increase configuration options. Alternatively, the shelves can be removed entirely and full-size 1/1 GN pans slid directly into the cabinet, which suits kitchens already working with a standard gastronorm system.
