Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Siren, a popular seafood bistro in Padstow, Cornwall, needed to consolidate their wine storage. They were using two separate, inefficient coolers and wanted a single, stylish unit to fit their newly refurbished bar area.
"The Polar dual zone fridge has streamlined our entire bar operation. Staff can find what they need instantly, and the display has definitely encouraged customers to try more of our premium wines. It looks the business and performs flawlessly, even on a hectic Saturday night."
Eleanor Vance – General Manager
Since installing the GM628, the bistro has reduced energy waste and reported a 20% uplift in sales of their higher-margin wines.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- After delivery, let the unit stand upright for at least 12-24 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
- Position the cooler on a flat, level surface, using the adjustable feet to ensure it's stable.
- Leave a gap of at least 10cm around the back and sides for proper ventilation to prevent overheating.
- Keep it away from direct sunlight and sources of heat like grills, ovens, or radiators.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the door seals weekly with a damp cloth to ensure they remain clean and effective.
- Clean the interior regularly with a mild, food-safe detergent and rinse with clean water.
- Every few months, carefully dust or vacuum the condenser coils at the back to maintain efficiency.
- The auto-defrost system handles ice, but occasionally check the drainage hole inside is clear of debris.

A: Yes, the 13 wooden shelves are designed to slide out, making it easy to load, organise, and Select bottles.

Explore more from PolarWhy Two Zones are Better Than One: Understanding Dual Temperature Control
Ever wondered why a commercial wine fridge dual temperature system is so important? It's all about flavour. Red and white wines thrive at very different temperatures – serving a complex red too cold will mute its flavour, while a crisp white served too warm will taste flat. This fridge solves that problem by acting like two separate cellars in one sleek cabinet. You can set the upper zone to a cooler temperature (e.g., 5-12°C) perfect for whites, rosés, and sparkling wines, while the lower zone can be set slightly warmer (e.g., 12-20°C) for your range of reds. Think of it like having separate climate controls for different rooms in a house; it ensures every single bottle is stored and served in its optimal condition, unlocking its true aroma and taste profile for your customers.
