The Polar U-Series Double Drawer Counter is an under-counter refrigeration unit with two independently controlled drawers, each capable of operating as a fridge, a freezer, or one of each simultaneously. Built in stainless steel and rated to climate class 5, it is engineered to hold stable temperatures in hot kitchen environments where ambient temperatures can climb to 43°C — a condition that disqualifies many lighter-duty units from safe use on the cookline.

Both drawers use forced-air cooling, which means temperature recovery after frequent access remains consistent throughout a busy service. Each drawer accepts two full-size 1/1 GN pans, giving four pan positions in total. Because each drawer is controlled independently, the configuration can be adjusted to match whatever the service demands — split fridge-freezer for a standard prep station, both drawers chilled for a pastry section, or both frozen during high-volume prep shifts. That adaptability is genuinely useful in kitchens where storage requirements shift between services or as menus change seasonally.

Practically speaking, the unit offers a number of operational advantages:

  • Independent temperature zones on each drawer, adjustable without affecting the other
  • Full 1/1 GN compatibility across all four pan positions, aligning with standard cookline organisation
  • Forced-air cooling maintains consistent temperatures during high-frequency drawer access
  • Castors fitted as standard, supporting cleaning routines and repositioning on the floor
  • Stainless steel throughout, standing up to daily cleaning without surface deterioration

At 113kg, this unit requires careful planning before installation. Castors give practical manoeuvrability on a level surface, but access routes, doorway widths, and floor thresholds should all be confirmed in advance. No specialist drainage connection is required under normal operation, though the electrical supply should be verified as suitable before the unit goes in. The R290 refrigerant charge is modest, and the unit carries a climate class 5 rating, making it appropriate for kitchens that run hot by design.

This unit is well suited to small-to-medium restaurant, café, and pub kitchens where a single under-counter position needs to cover both chilled and frozen storage close to the prep or pass area. It works best where GN compatibility with adjacent cookline equipment is important and where moderate drawer access frequency is the norm. For higher-volume operations with more intensive daily use or greater GN storage demands, a heavier-duty multi-drawer configuration may be worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your counter run, service pattern, or kitchen layout, our team are glad to help before you make a decision.

Frequently asked questions

Can both drawers really run at different temperatures at the same time?

Yes — each drawer has its own independent temperature control, so one can run as a fridge and the other as a freezer simultaneously. You can also set both to the same mode if your service requires it, and adjust the configuration as menu or prep demands change.

Is this unit suitable for placement on a hot cookline?

The U-Series carries a climate class 5 rating, meaning it is designed to maintain stable temperatures in ambient conditions up to 43°C. That makes it appropriate for positioning in hot kitchen environments, though it should not be placed directly against heat-emitting appliances without adequate clearance — standard installation guidance applies.

What should I check before installation?

At 113kg the unit is heavy, so access routes, doorway widths, and any floor thresholds should be measured and confirmed before delivery. You will also need to verify that the electrical supply meets the unit's requirements. No specialist drainage connection is needed under normal operation, which simplifies positioning within the counter run.
