Polar CZ785-A C-Series 150L Undercounter Glass Door Display Fridge
Showcase high-margin cold beverages, attractively merchandise grab-and-go culinary items, and drive impulse sales with the Polar CZ787-A C-Series 600L Commercial Single Glass Door Upright Chilled Display Fridge. Purpose-engineered for Australian cafes, takeaway sandwich shops, convenience stores, farm shops, pub dining rooms, sports clubs, hotel breakfast bars, and staff canteens, this 777 mm wide commercial vertical glass-door merchandiser combines an expansive 600-litre gross storage capacity with clean white aesthetics, holding stock steadily across a food-safe 2°C to 8°C operating spectrum.
Maximising front-of-house floor space is essential for retail profitability. The Polar CZ787-A features a vertical profile standing 1895 mm high on a 777 x 735 mm footprint, providing substantial display volume without crowding customer aisles. Inside, four heavy-duty, height-adjustable coated wire shelves accommodate varied inventory arrangements—from tall craft beer bottles, kombuchas, and cold-brew cans to pre-packaged salads, artisan yoghurts, gourmet sandwiches, and fresh fruit bowls. The flat base deck provides an additional fifth display level for bulk beverage cartons and reserve stock.
Visual presentation directly drives point-of-sale buying decisions. The CZ787-A is fitted with a full-length double-glazed tempered glass door that provides clear, unobstructed product visibility while creating a dependable thermal barrier against ambient room heat. The interior is brightly illuminated by energy-efficient LED lighting, highlighting beverage packaging and food colours without transferring radiant heat into the chilled compartment.
Maintaining strict food safety compliance and preserving ingredient freshness prevents costly stock loss. The fridge features an external digital control panel with a continuous LED temperature read-out, enabling managers and staff to monitor cabinet conditions at a glance in compliance with Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) Standard 3.2.2 Food Safety Practices. Operating across a versatile 2°C to 8°C range (with an optimum food storage setting of 4°C), the cabinet maintains safe holding temperatures in indoor ambient environments up to 32°C (Climate Class 4 rated for 16°C to 30°C).
Operating sustainably with low running costs is essential for hospitality profitability. The Polar CZ787-A uses natural, eco-friendly R600a hydrocarbon refrigerant with zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and an ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP 3). Drawing an economical 185W (1.5A–1.6A), the unit connects directly to any standard Australian 230V/240V 10 Amp power point via its factory-fitted 3-pin plug and lead, requiring zero electrician call-out fees or complex wiring modifications.
Designed for quick daily turnover and simple sanitisation, the cabinet is finished in a durable, corrosion-resistant white painted exterior with clean, straight lines that wipe down effortlessly. The push-in magnetic door gasket pulls out easily by hand for thorough soaking or tool-free replacement. The solid, reversible door features an integrated key lock to secure beverage inventory during closing hours, while fixed rear roller castors allow staff to manoeuvre the 93 kg unit out smoothly for sweeping and floor mopping.

To maintain chilling efficiency, protect internal components, and comply with commercial food safety regulations:
Power Isolation: Always switch off the digital controller, isolate the wall power socket, and disconnect the 10A plug before performing any internal cleaning, shelf adjustments, or maintenance.
Quarterly Condenser Coil Cleaning (Critical Requirement): The refrigeration condenser coil must be cleaned a minimum of four (4) times per year. Dust, lint, and shop dirt accumulate on the coil fins, restricting airflow and forcing the compressor to run hotter and longer. Vacuum the fins using a soft brush attachment. Failure to clean the condenser coil regularly will significantly degrade cooling performance, increase electricity bills, and can void your warranty.
Internal Cabinet Sanitisation: Remove food containers and wire shelves during regular deep-clean routines. Wipe down the interior liner, shelf runners, and base well using warm water, a mild food-safe sanitiser, and a soft microfibre cloth. Wipe up beverage spills immediately to avoid sweet residues drying into sticky deposits. Never use abrasive scourers, steel wool, or bleach-based sprays.
Double-Glazed Glass Care: Clean the internal and external glass panes daily using a clean microfibre cloth and a streak-free commercial glass cleaner. Avoid harsh scrapers that could scratch the tempered glass.
Magnetic Door Gasket Maintenance: Wipe the magnetic door gasket weekly with warm soapy water to remove accumulated dust, syrup drips, and crumbs. A clean, supple seal ensures an airtight thermal barrier. The push-in gasket can be pulled out by hand without tools for thorough soaking or replacement.
Periodic Manual Defrosting: To keep the internal cooling surfaces free of excess frost buildup, initiate the manual defrost cycle as required. Transfer chilled items to secondary cold storage, isolate power, leave the glass door open, and allow frost to melt naturally. Wipe the internal cavity completely dry before reconnecting power and restocking.
Washdown Safety Precautions: Never spray the display fridge, rear motor housing, or digital control panel with high-pressure washdown hoses or commercial pre-rinse guns. Clean all exterior surfaces with a damp, well-wrung cloth only.
The Polar CZ787-A C-Series is engineered for front-of-house commercial merchandising, cafes, and convenience retail:
Dedicated 10A Electrical Connection: The display draws 185W on single-phase 230V power and comes factory-fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp 3-pin plug. Connect directly to an independent, dedicated commercial wall outlet. Never run commercial refrigeration units through domestic power boards or light-duty extension leads.
Floor Levelling & Roller Positioning: Roll the 93 kg cabinet into position using the fixed rear rollers. Adjust the threaded front levelling feet until the cabinet sits completely level and stable, ensuring the glass door closes flush and seals securely.
Ventilation & Airflow Clearances: Maintain at least 100 mm of unobstructed airspace around the rear, sides, and top of the cabinet to ensure warm air exhausts freely from the compressor compartment, particularly in ambient shop conditions approaching 30°C–32°C.
C-Series Usage Application: Polar C-Series display refrigeration is designed for everyday commercial use in less demanding retail environments where doors are opened intermittently by customers or staff. For intense, continuous kitchen passes with constant door openings every minute, consider the heavy-duty Polar G-Series or U-Series.
Pre-Chilled Stock Loading (FSANZ Standard 3.2.2 Compliance): Commercial display fridges are designed to maintain the temperature of pre-chilled goods; they are not blast chillers. All beverages, fresh food packs, and dairy products must be pre-chilled prior to loading. Never pack stock so tightly against the rear wall that convective air circulation is blocked.
Sunlight & Climate Restrictions: Avoid positioning the glass-door display in direct outdoor sunlight, adjacent to exterior entryways, or directly beside high-heat equipment (such as ovens, espresso machine boilers, or fryers). Direct heat and UV light cause thermal gain through the glass and increase power draw.
Standard commercial road freight delivery is available Australia-wide to commercial business addresses with level ground access or loading docks. Due to the 1895 mm height, 93 kg net weight, and tempered glass construction of this upright display fridge, delivery via a hydraulic tail-lift truck or to a commercial loading dock with pallet handling equipment is standard. For deliveries to residential, home-based business, or non-commercial addresses, please contact our friendly commercial sales team prior to placing your order to obtain a customised courier quote and confirm delivery logistics.
Can the Polar CZ787-A plug into a standard Australian 10 Amp power point?
Yes. Operating on single-phase 230V power with an efficient 185W (1.5A–1.6A) draw, the display fridge comes factory-fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp 3-pin plug and lead.
Can the glass door hinge be reversed?
Yes. The double-glazed glass door is field-reversible, allowing you to configure the hinge to open from the left or right to suit your store layout and customer walking traffic.
How often does the condenser coil need to be cleaned?
The condenser coil must be inspected and cleaned at least 4 times a year (quarterly). Dust and fluff build up on the coil restricts heat dissipation, which degrades cooling efficiency, increases energy bills, and places unnecessary strain on the compressor.
What is the difference between Climate Class 4 and the 32°C ambient rating?
Climate Class 4 is an international standard testing condition specifying that the unit maintains internal temperatures within limits at 30°C ambient room temperature and 55% relative humidity. The overall maximum operational ambient ceiling for this appliance is 32°C.
Can the door be locked overnight to protect stock?
Yes. The glass door features an integrated key cylinder lock located at the base of the frame, allowing retail managers to secure cold beverages and food after closing.
How long are spare parts available for this model?
Polar guarantees that replacement parts—including door handles, hinges, gaskets, control knobs, and wire shelving—remain available to professional and end users for a minimum of eight (8) years after the model is discontinued from the market.
What commercial warranty is provided with the Polar CZ787-A?
The unit is backed by a comprehensive Commercial Parts and Labour Warranty across Australia.
