The cooling is spot-on, and the workspace saves us so much time. EasyEquipment’s support was top-notch—they even followed up after delivery to ensure it was working perfectly. Polar’s quality and their service make this a win for us!

13+ years experience

"When it comes to Polar refrigeration, you're not just buying a fridge – you're investing in consistent cooling that keeps your stock safe and your kitchen running smooth. Always check the ambient temperature rating – it’s the difference between chilled perfection and a meltdown during service!"

How Commercial Polar Refrigeration Equipment Works

Polar refrigeration keeps your commercial kitchen running smoothly through clever cooling technology. These units use powerful compressors to circulate refrigerant—a special fluid that absorbs heat when it evaporates and releases it when condensed. Digital thermostats maintain precise temperatures (typically between 2°C and 5°C for fridges, -18°C to -22°C for freezers), while efficient fan systems ensure even cooling throughout. Unlike domestic fridges, commercial Polar units are built with rapid temperature recovery, meaning they quickly return to optimal cooling after door openings—essential during busy service periods when staff are constantly accessing ingredients!

Safety Guidelines

  • Monitor Temperatures Check daily with external thermometers—ensures food safety.
  • Power Management Avoid extension leads—direct connection prevents overloading.
  • Ensure Ventilation Keep air vents clear—prevents overheating and fire risks.
  • Clean Spillages Wipe immediately—prevents slip hazards and contamination.
  • Secure Doors Check locks function properly—preserves temperature integrity.
  • Professional Servicing Schedule annual maintenance—ensures safety compliance.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Polar Refrigeration Equipment

To maximize your Polar refrigeration investment, establish a regular cleaning schedule for door seals and condenser coils—this maintains efficiency and extends lifespan. Organize contents with clear labelling systems and consider gastronorm containers for standardized storage. Never overload units, as this blocks air circulation and forces compressors to work harder. For bar fridges, stock during quiet periods and rotate bottles for even cooling. Remember to check temperatures daily with external thermometers for food safety compliance.
