Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'Freshly Squeezed', a popular juice bar and  lunch spot in Leeds, needed to upgrade from several smaller fridges to streamline their service and  expand their bottled drink offering. The single, large footprint of the Polar GP486 triple door multideck display fridge was the ideal solution.

"Since installing the Polar multideck, our grab-and-go area looks so much more professional and  appealing. Customers can see the entire range at a glance, and  we’re spending far less time restocking during the chaotic lunch service. It's made a huge difference to our workflow."

Robert Green – Owner, Freshly Squeezed

The improved visibility and  capacity led to a measurable outcome: Freshly Squeezed saw a 30% increase in bottled drink sales within the first two months of installation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the final location is a firm, level surface that can support the unit's weight (202kg plus stock).
  • Leave adequate space around the unit (at least 20cm) for ventilation to prevent overheating.
  • Once in position, let the fridge stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerant to settle.
  • Use the handy castors for initial positioning, then lock them in place for stability.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down interior shelves and  surfaces weekly with a food-safe sanitizer.
  • Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and  making full contact to prevent cold air from escaping.
  • 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 not blocked by debris.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Multideck Fridge

Not sure if this is the perfect fit for your business? Here are a few things to consider when choosing a commercial multideck fridge.

Size & Capacity

Measure your available floor space and  doorway access first! Consider your stock volume – it's better to have a little extra space than to be constantly cramming shelves.

Energy Efficiency

Look at the Energy Rating (this one is a 'C'). A more efficient unit might cost more initially but will save you hundreds of pounds on electricity bills over its lifetime.

Door Type

This model has self-closing hinged doors, which are great for energy saving. Open-front models offer easier access but use significantly more power to run.

Lighting

Good lighting sells products. LED lighting, like on the GP486, is energy-efficient, long-lasting, and  makes your display look premium and  inviting.

Positioning

Where will it go? A unit near a heat source like a griddle or in direct sunlight will have to work much harder, increasing energy consumption and  wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I adjust the height of the 12 shelves?

A: Yes, the shelves are fully adjustable, allowing you to customise the layout to fit different sized products like large bottles or small snack pots.

Q: What does 'Automatic Defrost' mean for me?

A: It means the fridge automatically heats its cooling elements periodically to melt any ice build-up, preventing it from affecting performance. It’s a low-maintenance feature that keeps the unit running efficiently.

Q: Can I change the colour of the LED lights?

A: Yes, this model comes with a remote control that allows you to change the colour of the internal LED lighting to best suit your branding or the products on display.

Q: Does the Polar GP486 fridge come on wheels?

A: Yes, it is fitted with heavy-duty castors, which makes it much easier to move for cleaning or repositioning within your store.

Q: Are the doors lockable?

A: Yes, the three doors are lockable, providing excellent security for your stock when your business is closed.

Q: What is the benefit of self-closing doors?

A: Self-closing doors ensure that cold air isn't lost if a customer (or staff member) forgets to close them fully. This helps maintain a stable temperature and  improves energy efficiency.

Q: What is 'Climate Class 4'?

A: This is a professional rating indicating the unit is designed to operate effectively in ambient temperatures up to 30°C and  55% humidity, typical of a busy commercial kitchen or shop.

Q: What is the exterior made of?

A: The exterior is a durable and  easy-to-clean black coated steel, while the interior is finished in hygienic aluminium.

How Forced Air Cooling Keeps Food Fresher

Ever noticed in an old fridge how drinks at the back are icy but items by the door feel lukewarm? That’s because of static cooling. The Polar GP486 uses 'Forced Air Cooling' to solve this problem. Think of it like a convection oven, but for cold. A fan actively circulates the chilled air throughout the entire cabinet, from top to bottom and  front to back. This constant airflow eliminates warm spots, ensuring every sandwich, salad, and  bottle of pop is held at a consistent, safe temperature. It means better food safety and  happier customers enjoying a perfectly chilled product every time.

    Perfect for showcasing a huge range of drinks, milk, and  sandwiches to attract daily commuters and  local shoppers.
