Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a bustling café in the heart of Bristol, was struggling with limited display space for their popular range of homemade quiches and  salads. They needed a solution that would fit on their existing counter and  improve the visibility of their chilled options.

"The Polar topper has been fantastic. It's freed up so much space in our main fridge and  our chilled items look so much more appealing now. We've definitely seen more people choosing a salad or a slice of tart with their coffee since we got it."

David Chen – Owner, The Copper Kettle

Since installing the Polar GD875, The Copper Kettle has reported a 25% increase in sales of their high-margin chilled food items.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, level surface for the unit, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like ovens.
  • Ensure there's at least 20cm of space around the unit for proper air circulation – this is key for efficiency!
  • The glass sneeze screen requires some simple assembly. It's best to have two people to fit it safely.
  • Once in position, plug it in and  let it run for a few hours to reach the correct temperature before loading it with food.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel surfaces and  glass daily with a soft cloth and  food-safe cleaner.
  • Regularly check that the door seals are clean and  making a tight connection to keep the cold air in.
  • This unit has manual defrost. Schedule a time to empty it, switch it off, and  allow any ice build-up to melt away naturally.
  • Keep the condenser coils at the back free of dust and  debris to ensure it continues to run efficiently.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Countertop Chilled Food Display

Not sure which model is right for your space? Here are a few things to consider when you're looking for a commercial refrigerated servery topper.

Mind the Footprint

Measure your counter space carefully! Consider not just the width and  depth, but also the height, especially if you have overhead shelving.

Check Your Capacity

Think about what you'll be displaying. A unit with flexible gastronorm compatibility like this one gives you lots of options for different food types and  portion sizes.

Defrosting Duties

Automatic defrost units are convenient but cost more. Manual defrost, like on this model, saves money but requires you to schedule time to clear out ice build-up.

Temperature is Key

Ensure the unit's temperature range (e.g., 2°C to 8°C) is suitable for the types of food you plan to store. This range is ideal for most pre-prepared chilled goods.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for smooth, stainless steel surfaces and  removable parts where possible. A unit that's easy to clean will save you a huge amount of time and  help you maintain top hygiene standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do the gastronorm pans come with the unit?

A: No, the GN pans are sold separately. This allows you to choose the 1/3 and  1/2 size pans in the material and  depth (up to 150mm) that best suits your needs.

Q: How do I clean the glass screen?

A: The glass and  stainless steel can be easily cleaned with a soft cloth and  a suitable food-safe glass or multi-surface cleaner.

Q: Is this unit noisy?

A: It operates with a low hum, typical of a commercial refrigerator. It's designed for a bustling commercial environment and  isn't considered disruptive.

Q: How often does it need to be defrosted?

A: As a manual defrost unit, the frequency depends on usage and  ambient humidity. We recommend checking for ice build-up weekly and  defrosting as needed to maintain efficiency.

Q: Can I place it right next to my coffee machine?

A: It's best to leave some space between the chiller and  any heat-producing equipment to ensure the refrigerator doesn't have to work overtime to stay cool.

Q: What temperature should I set it to for sandwiches and  salads?

A: A temperature between 3°C and  5°C is ideal for keeping pre-prepared items like sandwiches, salads, and  drinks perfectly chilled and  safe.

Q: Can I build this unit into my counter?

A: No, this is a freestanding countertop unit. It requires adequate ventilation on all sides to operate correctly and  should not be enclosed.

Q: Does the glass screen fog up?

A: In very humid conditions, some condensation can occur, which is normal for any refrigerated display. The continual evaporator helps manage moisture within the unit itself.

Why R600a Refrigerant is a Smarter, Greener Choice

Think of it like using a more efficient, cleaner fuel in your car. R600a has a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP), meaning it has a minimal impact on the environment compared to older refrigerants. It's also incredibly energy-efficient, which means this refrigerated servery topper uses less electricity to stay cold. So, not only are you making a greener choice for the planet, but you're also saving a bit on your energy bills month after month. It's a win-win.
