The Polar U-Series single-drawer counter unit is a dual-temperature refrigeration base designed to sit beneath countertop equipment in a commercial kitchen. It operates as either a refrigerator or a freezer — selectable via the front-mounted digital control panel — and accepts up to three full-size 1/1 GN pans in a single drawer. The stainless steel construction is built to take the weight of heavy countertop equipment above it, making it a practical choice where worktop space is already in use.

In a working kitchen, the ability to switch between chilled and frozen storage without a separate unit can be genuinely useful when service demands shift, stock priorities change, or you need temporary additional capacity in one temperature zone. Polar's forced-air cooling system maintains consistent internal temperatures even in warm kitchen environments, which matters in busy services where the drawer is being opened frequently. The climate class 5 rating confirms this unit is specified for ambient conditions that regularly exceed those of a cooler, air-conditioned kitchen.

  • Switchable between fridge and freezer modes via front digital panel
  • Forced-air cooling maintains stable temperatures during frequent drawer access
  • Sturdy stainless steel build supports heavy countertop equipment above
  • Climate class 5 rated — suitable for hot kitchen ambient conditions
  • R290 refrigerant with a low charge weight, in line with current environmental standards

Installation is relatively straightforward for a unit of this type — it is self-contained and does not require a remote condenser or external water supply. However, at 90kg it requires proper handling on delivery, and the 1230mm width means you should confirm the space carefully before ordering. Ventilation clearance at the front must be maintained; blocking the front grille will affect performance. The unit draws power from a standard single-phase supply, though confirming your circuit capacity with an electrician before installation is always sensible.

This unit is well suited to small to medium-sized kitchens — restaurants, cafés, hotel satellite kitchens, or any operation that needs flexible under-counter refrigeration without committing to fixed fridge or freezer capacity. Where a kitchen runs consistently high volumes of frozen or chilled stock and needs dedicated, higher-capacity drawer refrigeration, a larger multi-drawer configuration may be the more appropriate choice.

If you're unsure whether this unit fits your layout or service requirements, our team is happy to talk through the options before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Can this unit genuinely switch between fridge and freezer, or is it fixed at purchase?

The temperature mode is fully selectable via the front digital control panel, so you can reconfigure it between refrigeration and freezing as your needs change. This makes it useful where temporary additional frozen or chilled capacity is needed without installing a separate unit, though it is worth noting it operates in one mode at a time — it is not simultaneously fridge and freezer.

What are the practical installation requirements for this unit?

The unit is self-contained and connects to a standard single-phase electrical supply — no water connection or remote condenser is required. You do need to maintain clear ventilation at the front grille, and at 90kg it needs careful handling during positioning. We'd recommend confirming your circuit capacity with a qualified electrician before installation, particularly if the circuit also serves other high-draw equipment.

Is this unit suitable for a high-volume kitchen that accesses refrigeration very frequently during service?

The forced-air cooling and climate class 5 rating mean it handles frequent door openings and warm ambient conditions reasonably well for a counter unit of this size. That said, if your operation demands continuous high-volume access to chilled or frozen stock throughout a long service, a multi-drawer or larger-capacity unit may maintain temperatures more reliably. It's worth discussing your service volume with us before deciding.
