Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Slice, a popular artisan sandwich shop in York, needed to upgrade their tired old drinks fridge to something more modern and eye-catching to drive sales at their new checkout counter.
"We wanted a fridge that looked the part and kept everything perfectly cold. This Polar unit is brilliant. It’s quiet, stylish, and our customers are definitely noticing the new craft sodas we've stocked in it. It just works."
Robert Davies – Co-Owner, The Corner Slice
Since installing the fridge, the shop has seen a noticeable 30% uplift in sales of high-margin chilled drinks.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Position on a flat, stable counter, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like ovens.
- Ensure at least 20cm of space around the sides and back for proper ventilation.
- Once in place, let the unit stand for a few hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerant to settle.
- Clean the interior and shelves with a food-safe cleaner before you start stocking it.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the interior surfaces and door seals weekly to keep them hygienic.
- Regularly check and clear the ventilation grilles of any dust or debris to maintain airflow.
- The automatic defrost handles ice build-up, but ensure the drainage hole is clear.
- Avoid overloading the shelves to allow air to circulate freely for even cooling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this fridge noisy when it's running?
A: The Polar C-Series is designed for light-duty commercial use and operates at a low noise level, making it perfectly suitable for front-of-house areas where customers are present.
Q: What does 'Climate Class 4' mean?
A: This indicates the fridge is designed to operate effectively in ambient temperatures up to 30°C and 55% humidity, which covers most indoor commercial environments in the UK.
Q: Can I adjust the temperature easily?
A: Yes, it features simple digital thermostat controls and a clear temperature display, allowing you to set and monitor the internal temperature with precision.
Q: Are the shelves removable for cleaning?
A: Absolutely. The two shelves are fully adjustable and can be easily removed for thorough cleaning or to accommodate taller items.
Q: How many standard 330ml cans can it hold?
A: While the exact number depends on stacking, a 100Ltr unit like this can typically hold around 80-100 standard 330ml cans, leaving enough room for air to circulate.
Q: What is 'off-cycle defrost'?
A: It's an automatic system where the cooling cycle periodically pauses, allowing any minor ice build-up on the evaporator coil to melt and drain away, reducing the need for manual defrosting.
Q: Is the door reversible?
A: On this specific model, the door is not reversible. It is hinged on the right-hand side.
Q: Does the LED light stay on all the time?
A: The internal LED light has a separate switch, so you can choose to have it on to attract customers or turn it off overnight to save energy.

Explore more from PolarHow Forced Air Cooling Keeps Everything Perfectly Chilled
Ever bought a drink from a fridge only to find it's disappointingly lukewarm at the back? That's often the result of 'static' cooling. This Polar C-Series display fridge, however, uses Forced Air Cooling. Think of it like a convection oven, but for keeping things cold. A small, quiet fan constantly circulates the chilled air around the entire cabinet. This means there are no 'warm spots' and every single bottle, can, or sandwich is kept at the exact same, perfect temperature. It also means that when you open the door to serve a customer, the fridge gets back down to its set temperature much, much faster once closed. The result? Happier customers and safer, better-quality food and drink.
Who Should Buy This?
- Independent Cafés: A perfect black countertop display fridge for café settings to showcase cakes, bottled drinks, and sandwiches right at the till.
- Pubs & Bars: Ideal for placing on the back bar to display premium bottled beers, ciders, and mixers attractively.
- Village & Farm Shops: A great commercial display fridge small enough to fit in tight spaces for local cheeses, pâtés, and deli items.
- Hotel Reception Areas: Offer guests chilled water, soft drinks, and snacks as a welcoming, convenient, and profitable touch.
