Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Deli in York needed to streamline their chaotic lunch service. Their old, mismatched containers weren't keeping ingredients at a consistent temperature, leading to waste and  slower service. They invested in the Polar GD876 refrigerated gantry for gastronorm pans to create a dedicated, chilled prep line.

"It has completely organised our workspace. Everything is perfectly chilled, easy to access, and  our customers can see how fresh our ingredients are. The lunch rush is so much smoother now."

Mark Riley – Owner, The Corner Deli

The new setup has helped reduce their daily food prep time by 30% and  improved customer throughput during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, level countertop to prevent rocking and  ensure the door seals properly.
  • Leave adequate space around the unit (at least 20cm) for ventilation to prevent the motor from overworking.
  • The glass sneeze screen requires simple assembly. Follow the instructions carefully to ensure a secure fit.
  • Once plugged in, allow the unit to reach its target temperature before loading it with food products.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down all interior and  exterior stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and  food-safe cleaner.
  • Regularly check the door seals are clean and  intact to ensure the unit remains efficient.
  • Perform a manual defrost as needed. Switch off the unit, remove all food, and  allow ice to melt naturally.
  • Ensure the ventilation grilles are kept clear of dust and  obstructions to maintain airflow and  cooling performance.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Refrigerated Topper

Not sure which refrigerated servery topper is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to think about before you buy.

Capacity & Layout

Consider what you'll be storing. The GN pan system is flexible, but check if the unit's configuration (e.g., 1/3 vs 1/2 pans) matches your most-used ingredients.

Counter Space

Measure your available space carefully! Remember to account for ventilation room around the back and  sides, not just the unit's footprint.

Temperature Needs

This unit is great for general-purpose chilling (2°C to 8°C). If you need to store specialist items like raw fish, you might need a unit with a lower temperature range.

Hygiene & Display

A glass sneeze guard is essential for front-of-house use. It protects food from contamination while keeping it visible to customers.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason – it's durable and  easy to clean. Consider if you prefer an auto or manual defrost model based on your staffing.

Why a Continual Evaporator Is a Clever Touch

Ever noticed a puddle of water inside a fridge and  wondered where it came from? That's condensation. A 'Continual Evaporator' is a smart feature designed to deal with this automatically. Think of it like a tiny, built-in dehumidifier for your refrigeration unit. As the system cools, it naturally pulls moisture out of the air, which would normally collect and  pool in the bottom of the unit, requiring you to mop it up. Instead, this system automatically evaporates that condensation, so it disappears without you having to do a thing. It’s a simple but brilliant feature that prevents watery messes, reduces cleaning time, and  helps maintain a more hygienic environment for your food.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Sandwich & Salad Bars: Perfect for displaying a wide array of fresh fillings and  toppings right at the point of service.
  • Hotel Buffets: Ideal for keeping breakfast items like yoghurts, fruits, and  cold cuts perfectly chilled and  presentable.
  • Pizzeria & Kebab Shops: A must-have for organising and  chilling pizza toppings or kebab salad options, speeding up preparation.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Superb for showcasing fresh olives, cheeses, and  other delicatessen items in a hygienic refrigerated countertop food display.
