  • Pros: The 8-pan capacity is brilliant for organising complex prep stations.
  • Cons: Manual defrost means you'll need to factor in some planned downtime.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'Plymouth Pizza Co.', a busy waterfront pizzeria in Plymouth, were struggling with a cramped and  inefficient prep area. They needed a way to speed up their service on packed Friday nights and  keep their wide range of fresh toppings in prime condition.

"The Polar G610 prep unit has sorted us right out. Everything is laid out perfectly, the temperature is consistent, and  the kitchen flow is so much better. Our pizza makers can now work faster and  with less stress, even when the orders are flying in."

Jenna Davies – Owner

Since installing the unit, Plymouth Pizza Co. has increased their peak-hour output by over 20% and  significantly reduced ingredient spoilage.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable countertop away from direct heat sources like grills or fryers.
  • Ensure there's at least 20cm of space around the unit for proper air circulation.
  • Carefully assemble the glass sneeze screen following the instructions provided.
  • Once in place, let the unit stand for an hour before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel surfaces and  glass screen daily with a soft cloth and  food-safe sanitiser.
  • Regularly check that the condensing unit's air vents are clear of dust and  debris.
  • When ice build-up becomes noticeable, perform a manual defrost by switching the unit off and  allowing the ice to melt naturally.
  • Always ensure GN pans are clean before placing them in the unit to maintain hygiene.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Refrigerated Prep Unit

Not sure what to look for in a countertop servery? Here are a few pointers to help you find the perfect match for your kitchen.

Consider Capacity

Think about how many different ingredients you need chilled at once. This Polar G610 refrigerated prep unit holds eight 1/4GN pans, which is great for complex menus like pizza or extensive sandwich options.

Measure Your Space

These units are designed to be compact, but you still need to check the dimensions. Make sure you have enough counter space and  remember to leave room for ventilation around the sides and  back.

Prioritise Hygiene

Features like a glass sneeze guard and  easy-to-clean 304 stainless steel are not just nice-to-haves; they are essential for meeting food safety standards and  keeping your customers safe.

Check the Temperature Range

A range of 2°C to 8°C is ideal for most chilled ingredients, from dairy and  meats to salads and  vegetables. Ensure the unit can handle the ambient temperature of your kitchen.

Think About Power

A model with a standard 13-amp plug, like this one, offers fantastic flexibility. You can place it almost anywhere without needing a specialist electrician for installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the Gastronorm (GN) pans included with the unit?

A: No, the 1/4GN pans are sold separately. This allows you to choose the depths and  types that best suit your needs.

Q: What is the maximum depth of GN pan I can use?

A: This unit can accommodate 1/4GN pans with a maximum depth of 150mm.

Q: How do I clean the stainless steel?

A: For best results, use a soft cloth and  a designated stainless steel cleaner or a mild detergent with warm water. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid scratches.

Q: What does 'manual defrost' involve?

A: Manual defrost is a simple process. You'll need to empty the unit, switch it off, and  allow any ice build-up on the evaporator to melt naturally. Once melted and  wiped dry, you can switch it back on.

Q: Can I install this myself?

A: Absolutely. The unit comes fitted with a standard 13-amp plug, so no professional electrical work is required. Just plug it into a suitable socket and  you're good to go.

Q: Can I place this unit right next to my oven or fryer?

A: It's not recommended. For the refrigerator to work efficiently, it needs to be in a well-ventilated area away from direct sources of heat.

Q: What is R600a refrigerant?

A: R600a is a natural, eco-friendly refrigerant that has a low environmental impact (Global Warming Potential of 3) and  is very energy efficient, helping to keep your running costs down.

Q: How heavy is the unit?

A: The unit weighs 49kg. We'd recommend two people are on hand to lift it safely into position on your countertop.

More Than Just Glass: How a Sneeze Screen Protects Your Food

You'll notice this unit comes with a glass surround, or 'sneeze screen', and  it’s one of its most important features. But what does it actually do? In simple terms, it's a transparent shield that provides a physical barrier between your fresh ingredients and  the outside world. This is crucial in any kitchen, especially one open to customers, as it protects the food from airborne contaminants like coughs, sneezes, and  dust. Think of it as a personal bodyguard for your toppings, ensuring that the only things that go into your customers' food are the fresh, quality ingredients you put there. It's a key part of maintaining top-notch food hygiene standards and  showing your customers you take their safety seriously.
