Polar G-Series 2 Drawer Counter Fridge 240Ltr

The Polar G-Series two-drawer counter fridge is a under-counter refrigeration unit built for continuous use in commercial kitchen environments. Rather than a hinged door, it uses two pull-out drawers to give direct access to refrigerated GN containers without needing to crouch or swing a door open into a busy pass or prep run. The 240-litre capacity is spread across both drawers and is fully compatible with 1/1 GN containers, meaning standard food prep trays slot straight in without decanting.

In service, the drawer format works well in kitchens where speed of access matters — garnish stations, pastry sections, or prep areas where staff are pulling ingredients repeatedly throughout service. The unit holds a working temperature range of 2°C to 5°C, suitable for dairy, prepped proteins, and most chilled mise en place. The G-Series is rated to operate in ambient conditions up to 32°C (Climate Class 4), which makes it a practical choice for kitchens that run warm during service.

Practical advantages for day-to-day operation include:

• Drawer access reduces the need to move other items to reach refrigerated stock
• 1/1 GN compatibility means no need to transfer food into separate containers
• Stainless steel interior and exterior support quick cleaning between services
• The worktop surface provides usable counter space above the unit
• R600a refrigerant and a C energy rating keep running costs reasonable in continuous operation

Installation is straightforward — the unit runs on a standard single-phase supply and requires adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation. At 74kg it is heavy enough to require two people for positioning. The 900mm width suits most standard counter runs, though it is worth confirming the available run length and ventilation clearances before ordering.

This unit is well suited to small to medium-sized kitchens — cafés, pub kitchens, hotel prep areas, and restaurant sections where accessible under-counter chilled storage is needed without taking up valuable floor space. For sites with higher throughput or more demanding temperature control requirements, a larger-capacity or higher-specification unit may be worth considering.
