Polar G-Series Saladette Counter Fridge 240Ltr

The Polar G-Series Saladette Counter Fridge is a refrigerated prep counter designed to keep chilled ingredients accessible at the point of service. The top section holds a combination of full-size 1/1 GN pans and smaller 1/6 GN pans — practical for separating toppings, salad components, or sandwich fillings without moving between the counter and a remote fridge. Below the pan rail, the interior cabinet provides further chilled storage on adjustable shelving, giving operators both service-ready access and backup capacity in a single unit.

In a busy kitchen environment, the value of a saladette lies in how well it holds temperature during prolonged service. The G-Series uses fan-assisted cooling to maintain consistent chilled conditions across the interior, and it is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 32°C — a meaningful consideration in kitchens where heat from cooking equipment can be significant. The R600a refrigerant is an environmentally lower-impact choice and is standard across much of the current commercial refrigeration market.

From an operational standpoint, this unit suits kitchens where the build station and service point need to be the same place. Typical applications include:

• Pizza prep counters where topping variety needs to be immediately to hand
• Deli and sandwich counters requiring quick access to multiple chilled fillings
• Salad bars or cold starters where plating speed matters during service
• Smaller kitchens needing combined counter workspace and refrigerated storage

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. It runs on a standard single-phase supply and does not require a dedicated water connection or specialist ventilation, though adequate air circulation around the unit should be maintained. At 83kg the cabinet is heavy enough to require two people for positioning, and the 900mm width should be checked carefully against your available run of counter space before ordering.

The G-Series sits in the mid-range of Polar's commercial refrigeration line and is well matched to cafés, pizzerias, delis, and small-to-medium restaurant kitchens with moderate daily throughput. Sites running extended service periods or very high volume prep may find a heavier-duty model with greater pan capacity better suited to their needs.
