Overview

Polar DA997-A U-Series Double Drawer Counter Fridge Freezer 6xGN

The Polar DA997-A U-Series double drawer counter fridge freezer is a dual-temperature undercounter unit designed to maximise refrigerated or frozen storage in compact commercial kitchen spaces. Each of the two drawers accommodates up to three full-size 1/1 GN pans (up to 150mm deep), giving a total capacity of six full-size gastronorm pans, and each drawer can be independently configured as either a fridge or freezer via front-mounted digital controls across a temperature range of -20°C to 17°C.

Constructed from robust stainless steel and mounted on four lockable castor wheels, this unit is straightforward to reposition, clean, and press into service as an additional prep surface or equipment base. Fan-assisted forced-air cooling ensures rapid temperature recovery after each drawer is opened, making it well suited to high-frequency access during busy service. The DA997-A is part of Polar's premium U-Series refrigeration range, built to the highest commercial specifications to reliably protect your most valuable produce.

Key Benefits

• Independent drawer temperature control lets you store both chilled and frozen ingredients in a single unit, eliminating the need for two separate appliances and saving valuable floor space.
• GN compatibility with pans up to 150mm deep means ingredients can be loaded and accessed right at the workstation, reducing movement between stations during busy prep and service.
• Fan-assisted forced-air cooling restores target temperature quickly after each drawer is opened, keeping food safe and reducing waste even during high-frequency access.
• Heavy-duty stainless steel drawers each support loads of up to 60kg, while the sturdy top surface is strong enough to bear other catering appliances or act as an additional work surface.
• Four lockable castor wheels make it effortless to reposition the unit anywhere in the kitchen and lock it securely in place once positioned.
• Auto defrost function reduces routine maintenance demands and supports long-term reliability in a busy commercial environment.
• Smooth stainless steel construction throughout is easy to wipe down and meets commercial hygiene standards, keeping cleaning time to a minimum.
