Product Description
The Polar U-Series double door counter freezer provides 282 litres of usable frozen storage in an under-counter format, making it a practical choice for kitchens where floor space is limited but storage demand is genuine. It operates on R290 refrigerant and uses forced air cooling to maintain consistent temperatures throughout the cabinet, even when the doors are opened frequently during a busy service.
In a working kitchen environment, consistent temperature recovery matters. The forced air system circulates cold air evenly across all shelves, which helps protect the quality and safety of stored produce when staff are regularly accessing the unit. The climate class 4 rating means the unit is designed to perform in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, making it suitable for kitchens that run hot — a common consideration in busy back-of-house environments.
From a day-to-day operational perspective, the unit is designed with the kitchen team in mind:
- Removable door seals make cleaning straightforward and reduce the risk of bacterial build-up over time
- Front-mounted filters can be accessed and cleaned without moving the unit
- The built-in digital control panel provides clear temperature monitoring at a glance
- The stainless steel worktop is a practical preparation surface or a stable platform for small equipment such as a microwave or bain marie
Installation is straightforward in most kitchen layouts, though it is worth confirming that adequate ventilation clearance is available around the unit, particularly at the rear and sides. At 98kg, positioning will require two people and should be planned before delivery. The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply.
This counter freezer is well suited to small to medium commercial kitchens, cafés, delis, and pub kitchens where under-counter frozen storage is needed close to the service or prep area. For operations with significantly higher frozen storage demands, or where the unit will be accessed almost continuously throughout service, a larger upright or multi-door model may be a better fit.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your storage requirements or kitchen layout, our team is happy to talk through the options with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the U-Series carries a climate class 4 rating, meaning it is designed to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 43°C. This makes it a practical choice for kitchens where heat from cooking equipment raises the background temperature significantly during service.
- The forced air cooling system helps prevent excessive frost build-up during normal use. Routine maintenance primarily involves cleaning the front-mounted filters regularly to maintain airflow efficiency, and wiping down the removable door seals to prevent residue accumulation. Both tasks are designed to be carried out without specialist tools or moving the unit.
- For a small to medium operation — a café, deli, pub kitchen, or compact restaurant — 282 litres of under-counter frozen storage is typically sufficient for daily mise en place and short-term stock. Kitchens with higher throughput, larger menu ranges, or longer delivery intervals between orders may find they need additional or larger capacity, and it is worth discussing your specific volume requirements before deciding.
