Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Deli in York was struggling to keep up with the lunchtime rush. They needed a larger, more reliable refrigerated topper to expand their popular sandwich menu without compromising on freshness.

"Our old unit just couldn't cope, and  we were wasting so much time refilling small containers. The Polar GD877 has streamlined our entire prep line. Everything is right there, perfectly chilled and  ready to go."

David Chen – Owner, The Corner Deli

The new setup has cut down their average sandwich prep time by about 30% and  allowed them to introduce four new premium fillings, boosting sales.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable countertop away from direct heat sources like grills or fryers to ensure it works efficiently.
  • Carefully assemble the glass sneeze screen following the instructions provided. It's a two-person job to be safe!
  • Leave at least 20cm of space around the sides and  back of the unit for proper air circulation.
  • Once plugged in, let it get down to the right temperature for about an hour before loading it with your ingredients.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and  a food-safe sanitiser.
  • Clean both sides of the glass sneeze screen regularly to keep it looking professional and  spotless.
  • Empty and  thoroughly clean the gastronorm pans at the end of each day's service.
  • Periodically check that the air vents are clear of dust and  debris to keep it cooling effectively.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Servery Topper

Struggling to decide which refrigerated topper is right for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider to make sure you get the perfect fit.

Check Your Space

Measure your counter space carefully before you buy. Don't forget to leave at least 20cm of breathing room around the unit for ventilation.

Capacity is Key

How many different ingredients do you need to display? This 8x 1/3GN model is brilliant for variety, but smaller or larger options are available if needed.

Power Up

This unit uses a standard 13 amp plug, so it's ready to go in most commercial kitchens. Always double-check your sockets can handle the load.

Temperature Range

Ensure the unit's temperature range (2°C to 8°C) is suitable for the specific foods you plan to store to meet food safety standards.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features like stainless steel construction and  removable pans. They make the daily clean-down much quicker and  easier for your staff.

What's a Continual Evaporator and  Why Does It Matter?

Ever had a refrigerated unit where a puddle of water collects at the bottom? That's condensation, and  it can be a real pain to clean up. A 'continual evaporator' is a clever, hidden system that automatically deals with this for you. Think of it like a tiny, built-in dehumidifier for your fridge topper.

It works by gently heating up the collected condensation, turning it back into vapour which then dissipates harmlessly into the air. This means no more manual draining, no messy puddles, and  a more hygienic environment for your food. It’s one of those simple, background features that saves you a daily chore and  helps prevent bad odours from building up.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Sandwich Bars & Delis: Ideal for keeping fillings like meats, cheeses, and  salads fresh and  visible for quick assembly.
  • Pizzerias: A perfect station for organising and  chilling all your pizza toppings, from pepperoni to peppers.
  • Hotel Buffets: Great for breakfast services, holding yoghurts, fruits, and  cold cuts at safe temperatures.
  • Salad Bars & Cafés: Allows you to display a wide variety of fresh ingredients for a popular 'build-your-own' setup.
