Polar U-Series 1 Door 2 Drawer Counter Fridge | 314 Ltr

The Polar U-Series counter fridge combines a single door compartment with two gastronorm-compatible drawers in a single under-counter unit. With a 314-litre net capacity and a stainless steel construction throughout, it is designed to provide flexible, organised chilled storage at the point of preparation — keeping different ingredients accessible without repeatedly opening the main compartment.

In a working kitchen, this kind of layout earns its place at the pass or on the prep line. The drawer section lets chefs reach frequently used ingredients quickly during service without disturbing the main door storage, which helps maintain more consistent internal temperatures under heavy use. The forced-air cooling system is rated for ambient conditions up to 43°C (Climate Class 4), making it suitable for kitchens where heat from cooking equipment is a factor. Recovery after door opening is handled efficiently, which matters during sustained service periods.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are worth noting:

• Two GN-compatible drawers allow mise en place to be stored directly in service containers
• The stainless steel worktop provides a hygienic prep or equipment-resting surface above the unit
• Digital controls give straightforward temperature monitoring without guesswork
• The easy-clean interior reduces the time needed for end-of-service hygiene routines
• An Energy Rating of B helps keep running costs reasonable for a unit of this capacity

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type — it runs on a standard electrical supply and requires adequate ventilation clearance to the rear. At 108kg, positioning should be planned before installation, particularly in tighter kitchen layouts. The 1360mm width means it occupies a meaningful section of counter run, so confirming available space against your kitchen plan before ordering is worthwhile.

This unit suits restaurants, cafés, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where counter space is limited but the workflow demands both quick-access drawer storage and a larger chilled compartment. It works particularly well on prep lines or behind a pass. For very high-volume operations with greater storage demands, a larger or multi-door configuration may be worth considering. Equally, smaller sites with simpler requirements might find a single-door-only unit sufficient.
