Overview

Polar DA548-A U-Series 6 Drawer Counter Fridge 6xGN

The Polar DA548-A is a U-Series six-drawer refrigerated counter fridge built to handle the demands of high-volume commercial kitchens, including restaurants, cafes and bars. Each of the six drawers accepts full-size 1/1 GN pans, keeping large quantities of chilled ingredients directly at the prep station and eliminating unnecessary trips across the kitchen during busy service. Forced air cooling delivers rapid temperature recovery every time a drawer is opened, and the unit maintains a consistent chill even in ambient conditions up to 43°C, making it suitable for the most demanding food service environments.

Constructed from stainless steel throughout, the DA548-A combines exceptional durability with easy cleaning, while the smooth countertop provides a generous additional work surface for meal prep or placement of kitchen appliances such as mixers and blenders. Braked castor wheels allow the unit to be repositioned with ease and locked securely in place. User-friendly digital temperature controls and a clear display make monitoring and adjusting settings straightforward, and the simple auto defrost function supports long-term reliability with minimal maintenance effort. Rated M1 and suitable for both perishable and non-perishable food items.
