Product Information

Full details

The Polar U-Series 700Ltr Upright Freezer is designed for professional kitchens and catering environments requiring high-capacity, reliable frozen storage. Its key benefit is the combination of a massive 700-litre volume with a C energy rating, helping busy establishments balance storage needs with operational efficiency. One caveat is that its heavy-duty construction and 40C climate class rating make it best suited for demanding back-of-house areas rather than tight, restricted spaces.

FAQs

Does this freezer accommodate 2/1 gastronorm pans?

Yes, the interior is specifically designed to be compatible with both 1/1 and 2/1 gastronorm tray sizes.

Can I use this freezer outdoors?

No, this unit is designed for indoor professional kitchen environments, even though it is rated for high ambient temperatures.

How do I lock the unit?

The unit comes with a built-in lock on the door. Ensure you keep the keys in a secure, accessible location for authorized staff.

How often should I clean the condenser?

For optimal efficiency, clean the condenser coils every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the kitchen environment is particularly dusty.

What is the benefit of the Climate Class 5 rating?

It means the freezer is tested to maintain internal temperatures even when the external environment is as hot as 40C, providing stability in busy kitchens.

Troubleshooting

Temperature inside is higher than setpoint

Check that the door is closing properly and the gasket is clean. Ensure the air intake and exhaust are not blocked by stored goods.

Unit is making unusual noises

Check that the unit is level on the floor. Verify that no items inside are vibrating against the internal walls or fan guard.

Internal LED light does not turn on

Ensure the power supply is active and the unit is fully switched on. If power is confirmed, contact an authorized service technician for a component check.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, level surface with at least 20cm of clearance on all sides to allow proper airflow to the compressor.
  2. Allow the appliance to stand for 24 hours after delivery before plugging it into a dedicated electrical outlet to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Regularly clean the exterior stainless steel with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and a mild detergent.
