Polar G-Series Refrigerated Counter Fridge 9 Drawer 368Ltr

The Polar G-Series nine-drawer refrigerated counter is an under-counter chilled storage unit designed to keep ingredients accessible at the point of preparation. Each drawer accepts a full-size 1/1 GN pan, so portioned and prepped ingredients sit exactly where they are needed without breaking workflow. The worktop surface above doubles as usable prep space, which makes this a practical dual-purpose unit in kitchens where bench room is limited.

In a working service environment, the drawer format earns its place through speed and organisation. Pans pull directly out at waist height, ingredients are physically separated by drawer, and there is no need to open and close a single door repeatedly during a busy service. The unit carries a climate class 4 rating, meaning it will hold its operating temperature reliably in ambient kitchen conditions up to 32°C — a meaningful consideration in any kitchen running multiple heat sources simultaneously.

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

• Nine individual drawers support clear separation of raw, ready-to-eat, and allergen-sensitive ingredients
• GN-compatible storage allows pans to move directly from fridge to cook line without decanting
• Digital temperature display provides a continuous read-out for food safety monitoring and compliance records
• Stainless steel construction throughout simplifies daily cleaning and holds up to the rigour of a commercial kitchen
• Integrated worktop adds prep surface without requiring additional bench space

Installation requires a standard single-phase electrical connection and adequate clearance around the condenser for ventilation. At 140kg the unit should be positioned before service begins; it needs a solid, level floor. The 1365mm width fits most continental prep lines, but it is worth confirming this against your run before ordering. This unit is not intended for positions where ambient temperatures regularly exceed 32°C, so poorly ventilated back-of-house areas or plant rooms need careful consideration.

This counter suits restaurants, hotel kitchens, gastro pubs, and contract catering operations where mise en place discipline and ingredient separation are part of daily service. It works particularly well at a meat or fish station, or configured as a dedicated allergen-control unit. For smaller operations with lighter throughput, a fewer-drawer configuration may be a better fit. For high-volume sites with extended service periods and very frequent drawer access, it is worth a conversation about whether a higher-specification unit would be more appropriate.
