Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Whitby, North Yorkshire, wanted to introduce a line of locally-made gelato but was tight on space behind the bar. They chose the Polar PC008 for its compact undercounter footprint and attractive display.
"We slotted it straight under the counter and it looked like it was made to be there. Customers immediately started asking about the gelato because they could see it so clearly. Our dessert sales have shot up, and it’s so quiet we forget it’s running."
Michael Edwards – Co-Owner
The bistro successfully launched its gelato range, increasing dessert-related revenue by over 30% in the first two months of operation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Leave a gap of at least 20cm around the unit for air to circulate properly – this is vital for performance.
- Place the freezer on a flat, level surface to ensure the door seals correctly and the motor runs smoothly.
- Once in position, let it stand for a few hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant gases to settle.
- Clean the interior with a mild detergent before you start loading it with stock.
Keeping It Going
- Schedule a regular manual defrost. Frost build-up makes the freezer work harder and use more energy.
- Wipe down the door seals (gaskets) weekly to ensure they are clean and creating a tight seal.
- Clean the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a proper steel cleaner to keep it looking sharp.
- Gently dust the condenser coils at the back every few months to maintain peak efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I defrost this freezer?
A: We recommend manually defrosting whenever the ice build-up reaches about 5-6mm thick. For most businesses, this might be every couple of months, but it depends on usage.
Q: Are the shelves adjustable?
A: No, this model comes with two fixed shelves, which are designed for maximum stability and to support a consistent weight.
Q: Can this freezer be built-in or fully integrated?
A: No, this is a freestanding undercounter unit. It must have adequate space around it (especially at the back) for ventilation to prevent overheating.
Q: What is the best way to clean the stainless steel?
A: Use a soft, damp cloth and a specialised stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid scratches and keep it looking its best.
Q: Is this unit noisy to run?
A: No, as it uses a static cooling system rather than fans, it's designed for quiet operation, making it ideal for front-of-house areas.
Q: Does the glass door ever fog up?
A: The double-glazed door is designed to minimise condensation, but in very humid environments, some light fogging may occur temporarily when the door is opened.
Q: How easy is it to move for cleaning?
A: It's very straightforward. The freezer is fitted with rear castor wheels, so you can easily pull it out from under the counter to clean behind it.
Q: What is the ideal temperature setting?
A: For general frozen goods and to comply with food safety standards, you should aim for -18°C or below. The digital controller makes this easy to set and monitor.

Explore more from PolarHow Static Cooling Keeps Your Products Perfect
Ever wondered what 'static cooling' actually means? Think of it as the most natural way to keep things frozen. Unlike fan-assisted models that blow cold air around, a static cooling system, like the one in this Polar freezer, chills the interior using plates in the walls. The cold air then circulates gently through natural convection.
Why does this matter? It's much quieter, for a start! But more importantly, the lack of a powerful fan means your products aren't constantly being blasted with dry air. This is a huge plus for delicate items like unwrapped cakes, pastries, or artisan bread, as it prevents them from drying out or getting 'freezer burn' on the surface. It’s the gentle approach to freezing that keeps your food looking and tasting its best.
Who Should Buy This?
- Independent Cafés: Perfect for displaying frozen cakes, smoothie packs, or tubs of ice cream right by the till point.
- Village Pubs & Bars: Ideal for undercounter storage of frozen snacks, cocktail ice, or bags of chips.
