Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling tea room in Bath, needed to replace an old, inefficient drinks cooler. They wanted a compact, stylish unit to sit on their main service counter to display their selection of local juices and premium soft drinks.
"We chose the Polar C-Series 68L display fridge because it fitted the small space we had perfectly. The clean white design looks brilliant, and the LED light really makes the products stand out. It’s quiet, efficient, and our customers have definitely noticed the new selection."
Robert Davies – Owner, The Copper Kettle
After installation, the tea room noted a 30% increase in sales of high-margin chilled drinks in just two months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Position the unit on a flat, stable countertop away from direct sunlight or heat sources like ovens.
- Leave at least 5cm of space around the sides and back to allow for proper air circulation.
- Before plugging in, give the interior and shelves a quick wipe down with a food-safe cleaner.
- Once plugged in, let the fridge reach its set temperature for an hour or two before you stock it up.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe up any spills immediately to keep the interior clean and hygienic.
- Regularly clean the door seal with a damp cloth to ensure it closes tightly and efficiently.
- Every month or two, gently brush or vacuum any dust from the condenser coils at the back.
- Use a soft cloth and mild detergent for cleaning; avoid abrasive chemicals that could damage surfaces.

Explore more from PolarHow Forced Air Cooling Keeps Your Stock Perfectly Chilled
Ever noticed how some fridges have colder spots than others? That's often down to 'static' cooling, where cold air simply falls from a cooling element. This Polar fridge uses Forced Air Cooling, which is a far smarter system. It uses a small, internal fan to actively circulate the chilled air around the entire cabinet, ensuring every corner, from top to bottom, is at the same consistent temperature.
Think of it like a fan oven versus a conventional one, but for cooling. It means that when a customer opens the door and warm air gets in, the fridge can get back down to temperature much, much faster. This is vital in a busy commercial setting for keeping your products safe, fresh, and perfectly ready to serve.
