Polar G-Series Double Door Slimline Upright Fridge 960Ltr

The Polar G-Series double door slimline fridge is a full-height upright refrigeration cabinet designed for commercial kitchens where usable floor space is restricted. At 710mm deep, it occupies significantly less floor depth than a standard double-door cabinet while still offering a genuine 960 litres of total storage capacity — a combination that makes it a practical choice when the available run of wall or corner space is limited but storage demand is high.

In busy kitchen environments, this unit is well suited to sustained daily use. The G-Series range is built for frequent door access across a full service day, and the climate class 4 rating confirms it can operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 32°C — relevant for kitchens where ventilation is imperfect or seasonal temperatures are a consideration. The R290 refrigerant and self-closing, lockable doors support consistent temperature maintenance between -2°C and 5°C, which covers dairy, prepared foods, and general chilled storage.

From an operational standpoint, the cabinet offers several practical advantages:

• Slim 710mm depth frees up aisle or prep space without sacrificing storage volume
• Self-closing doors reduce the risk of temperatures drifting during a busy service
• Lockable doors suit kitchens where stock security or compliance requires it
• Digital temperature control allows straightforward monitoring without specialist knowledge
• Heavy-duty castors enable repositioning and thorough cleaning underneath the unit

Installation is relatively straightforward — this is a plug-in unit requiring a standard electrical supply, with no gas or water connections needed. At 165kg, positioning should be planned before the unit is fully loaded, and the castors are designed to assist with this. The stainless steel and aluminium construction is practical for cleaning and holds up well in demanding environments. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the condenser for airflow; restricted ventilation will reduce efficiency and place unnecessary load on the compressor.

This cabinet is well suited to small to medium-sized restaurants, cafés, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where space is at a premium but a meaningful chilled storage volume is still required. It is less likely to be the right choice for high-turnover sites with very large daily prep volumes — operations of that scale may find a deeper, higher-capacity cabinet more appropriate for their throughput.
