  • Cons: The GN pans for the top section need to be purchased separately.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'Salad Days', a popular lunch spot in Cardiff, found their old setup was causing bottlenecks during the midday rush. They needed a single unit to store and  prep ingredients to speed things up.

"The Polar G606 has totally streamlined our workflow. Having everything chilled and  right in front of us means we can get orders out so much faster. The counter is sturdy, the fridge is reliable, and  it’s made a massive difference to our service speed."

Ben Carter – Owner, Salad Days

Since installing the unit, Salad Days has seen a measurable improvement, successfully reducing average order assembly time by over 30% during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the counter on a flat, stable surface to ensure it runs efficiently and  the doors close properly.
  • Leave at least a 20cm gap around the unit for good ventilation, especially around the back where the condenser is.
  • Plug it directly into a suitable 13 amp mains socket – avoid using extension leads.
  • Allow the unit to get down to its operating temperature for a few hours before you load it with produce.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces, including the interior and  prep board, daily with a food-safe cleaner.
  • Clean the removable door seals weekly with warm, soapy water to maintain a tight seal and  prevent mould.
  • Gently brush any dust or debris from the condenser coils every month or so to maintain peak efficiency.
  • Regularly check that the automatic defrost drain hole is clear of any blockages to prevent water build-up.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Refrigerated Prep Counter

Not sure which prep counter is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Measure Your Space

It sounds obvious, but always double-check your dimensions. Make sure you have enough room not just for the unit, but also for vital air circulation around it.

Consider Your Menu

Think about your most popular ingredients. Match the GN pan capacity and  configuration on top to the items you'll need to access most frequently during service.

Check the Ambient Temperature

Kitchens get hot! Ensure the counter's maximum ambient temperature rating can handle the heat of your specific working environment to avoid overworking the motor.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features that make your life easier. Stainless steel construction, removable seals, and  rounded internal corners will save you tonnes of time on cleaning.

Power Supply

Before you buy, check you have a suitable 13 amp or 3-phase socket nearby. Avoid relying on extension cords, as they can be a safety hazard and  affect performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the Gastronorm (GN) pans for the top included with the unit?

A: No, the GN pans are sold separately. This allows you to choose the exact sizes you need for your specific menu items, up to a maximum depth of 150mm.

Q: What does 'automatic defrost' actually do?

A: The unit automatically heats the cooling element for short periods to melt any ice build-up. This prevents the system from getting clogged with ice and  ensures it runs efficiently without you needing to manually empty and  defrost it.

Q: Can I place this unit directly against a wall?

A: It's not recommended. For the refrigeration system to work correctly and not overheat, you should leave a gap of at least 20cm around the sides and  back for air to circulate freely.

Q: What kind of plug does the Polar G606 use?

A: It comes fitted with a standard UK 3-pin, 13 amp plug, so you can plug it straight into a regular mains socket.

Q: How do I clean the stainless steel?

A: For daily cleaning, a soft cloth with a food-safe detergent and  warm water is ideal. For a streak-free finish, wipe with a dry microfibre cloth. Avoid using abrasive scourers which can scratch the surface.

Q: Is the chopping board removable?

A: Yes, the white polyethylene chopping board that sits on top is removable, making it very easy to take away for thorough cleaning and  sanitising.

Q: What is the maximum ambient temperature this counter can work in?

A: This unit is designed to operate effectively in ambient temperatures up to 32°C, making it suitable for most commercial kitchen environments.

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

A: Yes, the two shelves inside the refrigerated cabinet are adjustable, so you can configure the storage space to best suit the height of your containers and  ingredients.

How Fan-Assisted Cooling Keeps Your Ingredients Fresher

Ever noticed in some fridges that items at the back are colder than those at the front? That’s often down to 'static cooling', where cold air simply falls from a cooling element at the top. A commercial salad prep fridge with fan-assisted cooling, like this Polar G606, is a different beast entirely. It has a small internal fan that actively circulates the cold air around the entire cabinet.

Think of it like the difference between a still, muggy day and  a pleasantly breezy one. That breeze (the fan) makes sure the cool air gets into every nook and  cranny, eliminating warm spots and  ensuring a consistent temperature from top to bottom. This is vital in a busy kitchen where doors are opened frequently, as the fan helps the temperature to recover much, much faster, keeping your food safer and  fresher for longer.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Sandwich Bars & Delis: Essential for keeping fillings fresh and  assembling bespoke orders on the integrated prep board in seconds.
  • Pizza Takeaways: An ideal station for organising and  quickly accessing all your fresh pizza toppings during the evening rush.
  • Busy Cafés: Perfect for streamlining the lunch service by having salads, cheeses, and  meats chilled and  ready to go.
  • Mobile Caterers & Event Stalls: A compact and  dependable refrigerated prep counter for efficient food prep at festivals and  outdoor events.
