Polar DL916-A U-Series 2 Door Counter Freezer with Upstand 282Ltr

The Polar DL916-A is a commercial undercounter freezer built for the demands of busy kitchens, bars, cafes and restaurants. Constructed from stainless steel throughout, it offers 282 litres of frozen storage within a compact counter-height footprint, with a sturdy stainless steel worktop that doubles as a prep surface. The 100mm rear upstand prevents ingredients and utensils from falling behind the unit, keeping the workspace tidy even during the most hectic service periods.
