Overview

Polar DA996-A U-Series 2 Drawer Dual Temperature Counter Fridge Freezer 4xGN

The Polar DA996-A is a dual temperature counter fridge freezer from the premium U-Series range, designed to deliver reliable chilled and frozen storage directly at the point of preparation. Built entirely in stainless steel and sitting on lockable castors, it fits neatly under a standard bench or operates as a standalone worktop unit, making it ideal for commercial kitchens, bars, cafes and restaurants where bench space is at a premium.

Each of the two heavy-duty drawers is independently temperature controlled, meaning one can be set as a fridge and the other as a freezer simultaneously, eliminating the need for two separate units. With capacity for two full-size 1/1 GN pans per drawer, fan-assisted forced-air cooling, and automatic defrost, the DA996-A is engineered for consistent performance under the high-access demands of busy service.

Key Benefits

• Independently controlled drawers let you run one as a fridge and the other as a freezer at the same time, giving you flexible dual-temperature storage in a single compact footprint
• Fan-assisted forced-air cooling ensures rapid temperature recovery after every drawer opening, protecting ingredients during high-frequency access throughout service
• Automatic defrost function maintains consistent cooling efficiency and reduces manual maintenance requirements, extending the working life of the unit
• Gastronorm-compatible drawers accept standard 1/1 GN pans, making ingredient changeovers fast and keeping prep workflows organised
