Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Patisserie in Oakham was looking for a replacement for their old, noisy display fridge. They needed a more modern and energy efficient display refrigerator that would both improve their front-of-house look and reduce their overheads.
"The Polar G-Series GP294 has been a brilliant addition. It's so much quieter, and customers have commented on how great the cakes look under the LED lights. Our energy bills have noticeably dropped, which is a massive bonus for a small business like ours."
Michael Davies – Owner
Since installation, the patisserie has cut its refrigeration energy consumption by an estimated 15% and reported a visible increase in cake and pastry sales.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Position the unit on a flat, level surface, leaving a 20cm gap around the sides and back for air to circulate.
- Once in position, lock the front castors to keep it firmly in place.
- Before plugging in, give the interior a quick wipe-down with a food-safe cleaner.
- Plug it in and let it run for at least 2-3 hours to reach its operating temperature before you start loading it with stock.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the interior surfaces and shelves daily with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Clean the glass inside and out regularly to ensure your display always looks its best.
- Every few weeks, gently brush any dust from the condenser coils at the back to maintain efficiency.
- Regularly check that the door seals are clean and creating a tight seal to prevent cold air from escaping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I adjust the height of the shelves?
A: Yes, this model comes with two fully adjustable shelves, so you can customise the interior space to fit taller items like bottles or larger cakes.
Q: What is 'off-cycle defrost'?
A: Off-cycle defrost is an automatic system where the cooling cycle periodically pauses, allowing any minor ice build-up on the evaporator coil to melt and drain away.
Q: Is the internal light always on?
A: The internal LED light can be switched on or off independently using the digital controller, allowing you to have it on during opening hours and off overnight.
Q: How do I clean the curved glass front?
A: Use a soft cloth and a standard glass cleaner. Avoid using abrasive cloths or scouring pads as they could scratch the surface.

A: No, this is a freestanding countertop unit. It requires at least 20cm of ventilation space around the unit to operate correctly and should not be enclosed.

Explore more from PolarHow Forced Air Cooling Keeps Your Food Fresher
Ever noticed how some fridges have cold spots and warmer areas? Forced air cooling solves that. Think of it like a convection oven, but for cold. A small, powerful fan constantly circulates the chilled air around the entire cabinet. This means there are no safe havens for bacteria to grow in warmer patches, and every single item—whether it's at the top, bottom, front, or back—is kept at the exact same, safe temperature. It also means that when you open the door to serve a customer, the fridge recovers its cool temperature much, much faster once closed. It's a simple feature that makes a massive difference to food safety and quality.
