- Top Marks for Access: The sliding doors are a dream in narrow aisles.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Daily Grind', a busy coffee shop in Manchester, needed to replace their ageing, single-door drinks fridge which couldn't keep up with demand during the lunch rush.
"The Polar GM814 has been brilliant. It looks so much more professional, the sliding doors are fantastic for our narrow layout, and we can fit almost double the stock in. Customers are definitely buying more because everything is so well-lit and appealing."
Robert Green – Owner, The Daily Grind
Since installation, the shop has reported a 30% increase in chilled drink sales and significantly less time spent restocking during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a flat, level surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources like ovens.
- Leave a gap of at least 20cm around the unit for good air circulation – this is vital!
- Once in position, lock the castors to keep it steady.
- Plug it in and let it run for a few hours to reach the correct temperature before you load it up.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the interior shelves and surfaces weekly with a food-safe cleaner.
- Clean the user-replaceable door seals regularly to ensure they create a tight seal.
- Crucially, schedule a quarterly clean of the condenser coil to remove dust build-up. This keeps it running efficiently.
- Check that the internal drainage hole is clear of any debris to prevent blockages.

Explore more from PolarWhy Self-Closing Doors Are a Lifesaver
Ever walked past a fridge in a shop and felt a blast of cold air because the door was left slightly ajar? That's wasted energy and a potential food safety risk. The self-closing doors on this Polar sliding door fridge cleverly solve that problem. Think of it like a gentle, invisible assistant who always remembers to shut the door properly, even when staff and customers are in a hurry.
This simple mechanism uses gravity or a spring to ensure the door glides shut on its own, trapping the cold air inside. This means the compressor doesn't have to work overtime to bring the temperature back down, which saves a surprising amount on your electricity bill and keeps your products consistently and safely chilled all day long.
