Why this prep counter earns its place
The Polar G609 is a countertop refrigerated topping unit, sized to hold up to seven 1/4 GN pans of chilled ingredients (sold separately) directly at a sandwich or salad prep station, with a glass sneeze screen surround keeping the contents protected through service.
It runs +2°C to +8°C on R600a refrigerant, drawing 150W from a 230V supply. Cooling is static, with a continual evaporator preventing water build-up in the well rather than relying on periodic defrost, and manual defrost is simple when needed. It's rated for reliable running across a wide 5°C to 43°C ambient band — genuinely hot-kitchen capable, not just a cool back room.
Stainless steel construction runs throughout, with sturdy feet for stable countertop positioning, and GN trays up to 150mm deep fit the well. The glass surround requires some assembly at installation, since it's shipped loose to prevent transit damage. Digital controls give a clear, user-friendly temperature readout. It weighs 57kg gross and carries a 2-year parts and labour warranty.
