The GL181 is designed for frozen bakery and patisserie production, holding up to 18 specialist 600 x 400mm trays in one upright cabinet. It is useful for bakeries and production kitchens that want to freeze or hold products on the same tray format used in preparation.

The Polar U-Series GL181 bakery freezer has an advertised capacity of 850 litre. The tray supports are made for 600 x 400mm patisserie trays, sold separately; 800 x 400mm trays are not compatible and shelves are not included.

The operating range is -22°C to -18°C. Ventilated cooling supports consistent frozen storage, and operates in ambient temperatures from 8°C to 43°C. Load only appropriately prepared stock, avoid blocking internal airflow and check the displayed temperature as part of the venue's food-safety routine.

The cabinet measures 2010(H) x 740(W) x 990(D)mm and has a net product weight of 152kg. Castors support positioning, while the reversible self-closing door needs enough clearance for full tray loading and removal. Measure the full route into position, including doorways, corners and lifts, and leave the required ventilation clearance around the cabinet.

Up to 18 specialist 600 x 400mm patisserie trays can be loaded. The trays are sold separately, 800 x 400mm trays do not fit and standard shelves are not included, so plan the tray purchase with the freezer.

Ventilated cooling and digital temperature controls support reliable frozen storage. The solid self-closing reversible door helps limit temperature gain during production, while manual defrost keeps maintenance straightforward.

The GL181 accepts 600 x 400mm patisserie trays and is not suitable for 800 x 400mm trays. Confirm the tray format used by the production kitchen before ordering so products can move through preparation and frozen storage without being transferred to different containers.

No. The freezer can accommodate up to 18 specialist trays, but the 600 x 400mm trays are sold separately and standard shelves are not included. Include enough compatible trays in the order to match the intended production and stock rotation.

Yes. The solid self-closing door is reversible, allowing the hinge arrangement to be adapted to the available workflow. Confirm the chosen direction leaves enough space to remove loaded 600 x 400mm trays safely and does not obstruct nearby equipment or walkways.

Energy Rating: D. Tested energy consumption is 7.05kWh over 24 hours and 2573kWh annually. Actual energy use will vary with loading, door openings, room temperature, ventilation and maintenance, so these figures are most useful for comparing cabinets on a consistent basis.

Follow the manual-defrost procedure, remove products and trays safely and never use sharp tools to remove ice. Clean the seal and interior regularly and prevent flour dust from building up around ventilation and condenser areas.

Confirm a suitable 230V electrical supply, the required ventilation clearance, the access route and final floor loading, and the quantity of 600 x 400mm trays required. This model uses R290 refrigerant and carries a 2 years parts and labour warranty. Installation, commissioning and servicing should follow the supplied instructions and be carried out by suitably competent personnel.
