Polar GE998-A 198L Double Solid Door Back Bar Cooler | 850mm High

The Polar G-Series 198L Double Solid Door Back Bar Cooler (GE998-A) is a dependable, compact commercial undercounter beverage and ingredient refrigerator engineered specifically for busy Australian bars, pubs, clubs, hotels, and restaurants. Measuring 900 mm Wide x 520 mm Deep x 850 mm High, this heavy-duty underbench unit pairs a generous 198-litre capacity with space-efficient solid double doors, allowing hospitality venues to store and organise high-volume beverages and prep items right at the point of service.

Why operators choose the Polar GE998-A:

• Compact undercounter profile — 850mm height fits beneath standard commercial bars and countertops, maximising floor space and keeping stock within immediate reach.

• Self-closing solid doors — insulated solid doors close automatically to minimise cold air loss, reduce energy consumption, and maintain steady interior temperatures during peak service rushes.

• Flexible 4-shelf interior layout — includes 4 heavy-duty adjustable wire shelves to customise bottle, can, and garnish storage without frequent restocking.

• Energy-saving LED lighting — bright, low-heat interior illumination provides clear visibility in dim back-bar service areas.

• Hard-wearing steel construction — painted steel exterior and robust interior components withstand frequent daily use and wipe down easily at closing.

• Dependable commercial temperature holding — maintains a food-safe range of +2°C to +8°C in ambient Australian conditions tested from 5°C up to 38°C.

• Secure key-lockable doors — integrated cylinder locks keep valuable alcohol, mixers, and stock protected overnight.

• Plug-and-play 10A operation — runs on eco-friendly R600a natural refrigerant, plugging directly into any standard Australian single-phase 230V 10 Amp wall outlet.

Yes. With an external height of 850mm and depth of 520mm, it is built to slide under standard commercial bar counters and kitchen benches while leaving room for operator movement.
