Why this counter fridges/freezer earns its place
The DA996 is a Polar U-Series dual-temperature counter fridge freezer with two drawers holding 4 x 1/1 gastronorm pans (179 litres gross, 102 litres usable). Because it is dual temperature, the drawers can be set to chill or freeze, so a kitchen holds fresh and frozen prep in a single under-counter footprint at the line.
At 905mm wide and 700mm deep, it fits a narrower counter run than the 6-pan version. That flexibility suits busy service: run both drawers cold, both frozen, or split the unit as the menu demands. Built to climate class 5, it holds temperature in warm, hard-working kitchen ambients rather than only cool rooms. The G energy rating (9.07 kWh per 24 hours) means you can calculate running cost directly; it draws 460W and runs on 230V.
At 113kg and sitting at counter height, it installs into a standard run rather than taking floor space. The R290 refrigerant is the low-GWP option. For a capacity plan against your covers and menu, plus running cost and finance calculations, use the tools below.
