Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Slice, a busy pizzeria in Manchester, upgraded from a chest freezer to the Polar G-Series display unit to better showcase their take-home frozen dough balls and  garlic bread.

"It's made a massive difference. Customers can see our frozen retail options as soon as they walk in, rather than us having to tell them. It looks professional and  the sales speak for themselves."

Ben Carter – Co-Owner

The business reported a 25% increase in add-on sales of their frozen retail products within the first two months.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position on a completely flat, level surface away from heat sources like ovens or direct sunlight.
  • Leave a gap of at least 20cm around the sides and  back for essential air circulation.
  • Let the freezer stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
  • Allow the unit to reach its target temperature (chill down) before you start loading it with stock.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the interior surfaces and  door seals weekly with a food-safe cleaner.
  • The most important job: you must clean the condenser coil at least four times a year to maintain efficiency.
  • Regularly check the door gasket is clean and  forms a tight seal to prevent cold air from escaping.
  • The auto-defrost system manages ice, but ensure the small drainage port inside remains clear of debris.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Display Freezer

Not sure what fits best? Here are a few pointers to help you find the perfect freezer for your spot.

Measure Twice, Buy Once

Check the freezer's external dimensions against your doorways, corridors, and  final location. Don't forget to account for ventilation space around the unit!

Glass Door vs. Solid Door

Glass doors like this one are unbeatable for boosting impulse sales. Solid doors can be slightly more energy-efficient but hide your products from view.

Consider Running Costs

Look at the Energy Rating and  the annual kWh consumption. A more efficient unit might cost more initially but will save you significant money on electricity bills over its life.

Check the Climate Class

This freezer has a Climate Class of 4, meaning it's designed to work effectively in ambient kitchen temperatures up to 32°C. Hotter kitchens may need a Class 5 unit.

Think About Your Customers

An illuminated display panel and  bright internal lighting, as featured here, are proven to attract customer attention and  encourage them to buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the ideal temperature setting for this upright glass door freezer Polar?

A: For best results and  food safety, you should aim for a temperature between -18°C and  -22°C, which is easily set with the digital controller.

Q: Can the door be reversed to open the other way?

A: No, the door on the GH428 model is fixed with a right-hand hinge and  is not reversible. Please plan your placement accordingly.

Q: How many shelves does it come with?

A: It is supplied with five strong, adjustable shelves, allowing you to customise the interior layout to fit your specific products.

Q: Is the internal light replaceable?

A: Yes, it uses energy-efficient LED lighting. While long-lasting, replacement strips are available if one ever fails.

Q: Does the freezer have a lock for security?

A: Absolutely. The door is fitted with a lock, allowing you to secure your valuable frozen stock overnight or when unattended.

Q: How often does the automatic defrost cycle run?

A: The off-cycle defrost runs periodically throughout the day as needed to prevent frost from building up on the evaporator coil.

Q: What is the actual usable capacity?

A: The total capacity is 412 litres. The net, or usable, capacity will be slightly less to account for shelves and  internal components.

Q: Is this model suitable for a very hot kitchen?

A: It's designed for an ambient temperature up to 32°C (Climate Class 4). For kitchens that regularly exceed this, a higher-spec model may be required.

No More Manual Chipping: How Automatic Defrost Saves You Time

Ice build-up is a freezer's worst enemy; it forces the motor to work harder, uses more electricity, and  can even affect food quality. This freezer's Automatic Off-Cycle Defrost system is like having a tiny, clever maintenance assistant built-in. A few times a day, it pauses the cooling cycle and  gently warms the internal coils just enough to melt away any frost that has formed, all without raising the temperature inside the cabinet. The resulting water simply drains away and  evaporates. This means the freezer is always running at peak efficiency, saving you energy and, most importantly, freeing you from the thankless task of manual defrosting.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Convenience Stores & Grocers: Perfect for showcasing frozen pizzas, ice cream tubs, and  ready meals right in the aisle.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Display your frozen artisan pies, local veg, or bake-at-home goods with fantastic visibility.
  • Dessert Parlours & Cafés: An ideal unit for beautifully presenting a wide range of ice creams and  frozen cakes.
  • Service Stations & Canteens: A reliable freezer for offering grab-and-go frozen treats and  snacks to a high volume of customers.
