Why this counter fridge earns its place
The Polar U-Series UA100 is a four-drawer gastronorm counter fridge designed to streamline kitchen workflow by putting chilled ingredients exactly where they're needed. The durable stainless steel countertop doubles as extra prep space, while the four gastronorm-compatible drawers below — each taking a 1/1GN tray — keep the most-used items within easy reach, cutting unnecessary movement during a busy service.
Cooling is handled by a forced air system holding a working range of -2 to +8°C, with net capacity of 105 litres across the four drawers. Recovery after each drawer opening is rapid, keeping food safety and quality consistent through service, and automatic defrost keeps the unit running efficiently with minimal input. Energy Class B rating puts annual consumption at 631.5 kWh, drawing 300W on a 220-240V supply — an EEI of 30.7%.
Construction is stainless steel throughout, built to withstand daily wear in a demanding prep area, with 60mm insulation reducing running costs and improving efficiency. A user-friendly digital controller with an always-on LED display makes temperature monitoring straightforward, and sturdy lockable castors allow the 118kg unit to be moved easily for cleaning. It's backed by 2 years parts and labour warranty.
