Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

Dough & Co., a popular pizzeria in Manchester, was finding their small, outdated prep fridges couldn't keep up with their booming weekend trade, leading to delays and  frustrated chefs. They upgraded to the Polar G605 Pizza Prep Counter to centralise their preparation workflow.

"It’s completely streamlined our pizza line. Everything is cold, everything is within reach, and  service is so much smoother. We’re getting pizzas out of the door faster and  the team is less stressed."

Anya Sharma – Owner, Dough & Co.

The result was a measurable 25% increase in their order output during peak Friday and  Saturday night services.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the unit in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like ovens and  grills.
  • Leave at least a 20cm gap around the unit for air to circulate properly – this is crucial for performance.
  • Once in place, let it stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
  • Give the interior and  stainless steel worktop a good wipe-down with a food-safe cleaner before use.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe up any spills immediately to keep your workspace hygienic and  prevent stains.
  • Regularly clean the magnetic door seals with warm, soapy water to ensure they maintain a tight seal.
  • Gently brush or vacuum the condenser coils (usually at the back or base) every month to remove dust build-up.
  • Avoid overloading the shelves inside; allow air to move freely to ensure even cooling throughout.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Prep Counter

Not sure which prep station is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider to make sure you get it right first time.

Space & Layout

Measure twice, buy once! Check the unit's dimensions against your available space, remembering to leave room for ventilation.

Pizza vs. Salad

This model's stainless steel top is a fantastic, hygienic all-rounder. Some pizza chefs prefer granite for handling dough, so consider your primary use.

Capacity & Volume

How busy are you? This 390L unit is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses. High-volume kitchens may need a larger model.

Kitchen Environment

All refrigeration works harder in hot kitchens. This unit is rated for ambient temperatures up to 32°C, so ensure you have decent ventilation.

GN Pan Configuration

Think about your ingredients. This counter is designed for 1/4 GN pans, which is great for a wide variety of toppings. Check this matches your needs.

How Fan-Assisted Cooling Keeps You Ahead of the Rush

Ever notice how a fridge struggles to stay cold when you're constantly opening the door during a manic service? That's where fan-assisted cooling makes all the difference. Unlike standard static cooling which relies on natural air convection (which is slow), this system uses an internal fan to actively circulate cold air throughout the cabinet.

Think of it like the difference between a gentle breeze and  a powerful fan on a hot day. The powerful fan cools you down much faster. This pizza preparation fridge does exactly the same for your ingredients. Every time you open a door and  warm air gets in, the fan kicks in to rapidly pull the temperature back down, keeping your cheese, meats, and  veg safer and  fresher for longer. It's a simple feature that has a huge impact on food safety and  quality during your busiest hours.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Pizzerias: The perfect commercial pizza prep counter for building signature pizzas quickly and  hygienically under pressure.
  • Busy Cafés & Delis: Use it as a refrigerated salad counter for crafting fresh, crisp salads and  sandwiches to order.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: A robust and  reliable unit for keeping a wide range of ingredients perfectly chilled on the move.
  • School & Workplace Canteens: Easily handle high-volume lunch rushes with an organised, refrigerated space for fillings and  sides.
