Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Hotel in Torquay needed to upgrade its kitchen's cold storage to cope with a surge in summer bookings and an expanded menu. Their collection of smaller, under-counter fridges was inefficient and causing bottlenecks during prep.
"We were constantly juggling space and struggling to keep stock organised. The Polar CC663 gave us one central, massive cold store. It's simplified our ordering, reduced our food waste, and our chefs can find what they need in an instant."
David Chen – Head Chef
By consolidating their refrigeration, the hotel saw a 40% reduction in time spent on daily stock management, allowing chefs to focus more on service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, check the unit for any transit damage before signing.
- Position the fridge on a flat, level surface, leaving a 20cm gap around the sides and back for air circulation.
- Let the unit stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
- Once plugged into a standard 13 amp socket, allow it to reach the desired temperature before loading with produce.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the interior shelves and walls weekly with a food-safe cleaner.
- Check the door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and making a tight connection to prevent energy loss.
- Gently brush or vacuum the condenser coils (usually at the back or bottom) every month to remove dust build-up.
- Ensure the automatic defrost drain is clear and unblocked to prevent water pooling inside.

Explore more from PolarWhy Fan-Assisted Cooling is a Kitchen Essential
Ever noticed how a standard home fridge can have warmer spots, especially near the door? That's a real problem in a professional kitchen. 'Fan-assisted cooling' solves this by actively circulating cold air throughout the entire cabinet, a bit like how a convection oven uses a fan to spread heat for even baking. This means there are no weak spots or temperature fluctuations. Every tray of prepped veg, every fillet of fish, and every bottle of sauce is kept at the exact same, safe temperature, no matter where it's placed. It’s your best defence against food spoilage, especially when staff are opening and closing the door constantly during a hectic service.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Restaurants: Ideal for storing bulk produce, meats, and prepped items for a full week's service without daily top-ups.
- School & University Kitchens: Perfect for holding large quantities of dairy, fresh fruit, and prepared meals safely and hygienically.
- Farm Shops & Delis: A fantastic professional kitchen upright fridge for keeping cheeses, cured meats, and fresh goods at their best.
- Central Production Kitchens: Provides the huge, reliable chilling capacity needed for preparing and dispatching food to multiple sites.
