Polar G-Series Single Door 2 Drawer Slimline GN Refrigerator

The Polar G-Series slimline upright refrigerator combines a single hinged door with two lower drawers in one cabinet, giving operators both open shelf access and a separate drawer zone for prepped ingredients or portioned items. At 292 litres capacity and built in stainless steel, it is designed to hold full-size 1/1 GN gastronorm trays across three adjustable shelves, making it a practical fit for standard prep environments.

Forced air cooling distributes temperature evenly throughout the cabinet, which is particularly useful where the unit will be opened repeatedly during a busy service. Automatic defrost runs without manual intervention, and the self-closing door helps maintain a stable internal temperature when staff are working quickly and door closure is not always a priority.

From an operational standpoint, this cabinet offers a number of practical advantages for commercial kitchens:

• The reversible door allows left- or right-hand opening, which helps when fitting into tight or reconfigured layouts
• Drawer storage beneath the main compartment keeps frequently used prepped items separate and accessible without opening the full cabinet
• Accurate digital controls simplify temperature setting and monitoring during daily checks
• Stainless steel construction throughout supports hygiene compliance and withstands routine commercial cleaning

At 484mm wide, this is a slimline unit by upright refrigerator standards. That footprint suits smaller kitchens, tight run configurations, and prep areas where a full-width cabinet would not be practical. Weighing 120kg when empty, it will require a level, solid floor surface. The unit operates on a standard electrical supply, but ventilation clearance around the cabinet should be confirmed prior to installation — particularly in enclosed or built-in positions. Climate class 5 means it is rated for warmer ambient environments, which is worth noting for kitchens running high ambient temperatures.

This cabinet is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, and prep kitchens where GN compatibility and a compact footprint are priorities. It is less suited to high-volume operations that require rapid restocking of large quantities, where a wider or higher-capacity upright model may prove more practical over a full service day.
