Polar G-Series Countertop Prep Fridge 4x GN 1/3

The Polar G-Series countertop prep fridge is a compact refrigerated unit designed to keep portioned ingredients chilled and accessible at the point of preparation or service. It sits on a worktop or counter, holds up to four GN 1/3 pans within a 67-litre chilled space, and features a curved glass hinged lid with an integrated chopping and prep board on top. The unit is finished in stainless steel and glass, and is built to handle the demands of everyday commercial kitchen use.

In practice, this type of unit suits operations where ingredients need to be kept cold and within easy reach throughout a service period — sandwich assembly, pizza topping, deli counter work, and self-service or assisted buffet formats are all common applications. The pan configuration is flexible, accepting 1/6, 1/3 and 2/3 GN pans, which allows operators to balance pan sizes according to which items turn over fastest. The unit is rated to climate class 4, meaning it maintains its temperature range reliably in ambient kitchen temperatures up to 32°C — a useful assurance in warmer kitchens or during summer service.

From an operational standpoint, the G-Series unit offers several practical advantages:

• Keeps ingredients at safe serving temperatures without interrupting workflow
• Flexible GN pan configuration to match menu and volume requirements
• Integrated prep board reduces the need for additional worktop equipment
• Low 105W running requirement helps keep energy costs manageable
• Suitable for front-of-house display or back-of-house prep use

Installation is straightforward — the unit requires a standard 13A mains connection and no specialist plumbing or ventilation. At 22.5kg it is light enough to reposition if your counter layout changes. GN pans are sold separately, so it is worth factoring that into your setup if you are equipping from scratch. The unit operates on R600a refrigerant, which is worth noting if your site has any specific refrigerant restrictions.

This unit is well suited to smaller food businesses — sandwich shops, delis, cafés, and pizza counters — where a single countertop unit covers prep and display in one footprint. For larger operations running high-volume topping stations or multiple service points, a higher-capacity unit or additional units in parallel may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this configuration matches your service volume or counter layout, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.
