The Polar U-Series Double Drawer Counter is an under-counter refrigeration unit with two independently controlled drawers, each capable of running as either a fridge or a freezer. Combined, they accommodate up to six full-size 1/1 gastronorm pans. Temperature mode is set via front-mounted digital controls, meaning a kitchen can reconfigure cold and frozen storage to match the demands of a particular service without any tools or engineer involvement.

In a working kitchen, that flexibility has genuine operational value. A prep section that needs more frozen capacity during an evening service can reassign a drawer without reorganising the layout or sourcing additional equipment. The forced-air cooling system supports consistent temperature retention even with frequent access — important in a busy prep environment where drawers are opened repeatedly throughout service. The unit is rated for ambient conditions up to 43°C (Climate Class 5), which makes it suitable for hot kitchen environments where standard refrigeration units may struggle to hold safe temperatures reliably.

The drawer format itself offers practical advantages over hinged-door counters in tight spaces:

  • Drawers open directly into the workspace, not across a walkway or adjacent station
  • GN pan access is quicker during service — no reaching around a door
  • Front controls are straightforward to read and adjust at a glance
  • Stainless steel construction throughout supports routine cleaning and hygiene compliance
  • Castors allow repositioning and cleaning underneath without heavy lifting

Installation is self-contained — the unit runs on a standard electrical supply with no gas or water connection required. At 131kg, floor loading and delivery access are worth thinking through before it arrives. The unit uses R290 refrigerant, a low global-warming-potential option that is increasingly relevant for operators tracking environmental compliance. The energy rating is G, which is typical for dual-temperature units of this type and worth factoring into running cost calculations, particularly on sites with a large refrigeration estate.

This unit suits small-to-medium operations where under-counter space is limited and the ability to switch between fridge and freezer storage adds real day-to-day flexibility — a hotel kitchen, a café prep area, or a restaurant pass where fast GN access matters. Kitchens running high covers across multiple sections with significant cold storage demands may find they need greater overall capacity; it is worth assessing total storage requirements before committing to a single unit.

If you would like to talk through whether this configuration fits your kitchen's cold storage needs, the team is glad to help before you place an order.

Frequently asked questions

Can each drawer be set to a different temperature independently?

Yes — each drawer has its own digital temperature control, so one can run as a fridge while the other operates as a freezer simultaneously. You can also set both drawers to the same mode if your storage needs change, without any specialist tools or engineer involvement.

What are the installation requirements for this unit?

The unit is self-contained and connects to a standard electrical supply — there is no gas or water connection required. At 131kg it is a substantial piece of equipment, so it is worth confirming floor loading capacity and planning delivery access routes in advance, particularly in basement or mezzanine kitchens.

Is this unit suitable for a high-volume kitchen running multiple services?

It is well suited to small-to-medium operations where under-counter space is at a premium and the ability to flex between fridge and freezer storage is genuinely useful. Sites running high covers across several sections with significant cold storage demands across the kitchen may find a larger-capacity solution more appropriate — it is worth reviewing your total storage requirements before deciding.
