Product Description
The Polar G-Series counter fridge with two GN drawers is a compact under-counter refrigeration unit designed for use in professional kitchen prep and service stations. The two 1/1 GN-compatible drawers sit beneath a stainless steel worktop, allowing the unit to double as useful preparation surface while keeping chilled ingredients directly to hand. At 65 litres capacity, it is intended for kitchens where space is limited rather than those with high-volume cold storage demands.
Fan-assisted cooling maintains consistent internal temperatures throughout the cabinet, including during busy periods when the drawers are opened and closed repeatedly. The front-mounted digital display provides a continuous temperature readout, which helps kitchen teams monitor conditions without interrupting workflow. The unit is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 32°C, making it suitable for warm kitchen environments where some under-counter refrigeration units begin to struggle.
In practical terms, the G-Series drawer fridge is well suited to use as a dedicated station fridge — keeping prepped garnishes, dairy, or portioned protein close to the cook without requiring trips to a walk-in or upright cabinet. Key operational advantages include:
- GN drawer compatibility allows direct use of standard prep containers
- Stainless steel construction supports thorough cleaning between services
- Front-access controls and display reduce time spent checking temperatures
- Compact footprint fits beneath most standard-height counters
- Fan-assisted cooling aids temperature recovery after frequent drawer access
Installation is relatively straightforward — the unit requires a standard 13A mains connection and no external drainage. It is self-contained and freestanding, so it can be positioned wherever a suitable power point is available. At 51kg, two people should be able to position the unit without specialist equipment, though the relatively shallow 478mm width means it fits into tight runs where full-width under-counter fridges would not.
This unit is best suited to smaller operations — cafés, sandwich bars, small restaurant kitchens, or bar food preparation areas — where one or two station points need reliable chilled access during service. It is less suited to high-volume kitchens that need to store large quantities of prepped product close to the pass; sites with those demands would typically benefit from a larger-capacity drawer unit or a full under-counter refrigerator.
If you are weighing up whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk through the options with you before you commit to a purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, the 2°C to 8°C operating range covers standard chilled storage requirements for both dairy and raw protein. The fan-assisted system helps maintain stable temperatures even when the drawers are accessed frequently, which is important during a busy service period. That said, at 65 litres total capacity, this unit is better suited to holding prepped or portioned product at the station rather than acting as primary cold storage for a high-volume kitchen.
- The unit is self-contained and requires only a standard 13A mains socket — there is no external drainage or water connection needed. It is freestanding and can be positioned beneath a counter or used as a worktop unit in its own right. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit, particularly at the rear, to allow the refrigeration system to operate efficiently.
- The drawer configuration is the main practical difference — drawers allow you to access GN containers directly from above or from the front without fully opening a door, which can suit tight or busy pass areas where space in front of the unit is limited. The trade-off is that 65 litres of drawer capacity is less than most full-door under-counter units in the same footprint, so if bulk storage at the station is the priority, a door unit may offer more usable space.
