EP1 3L Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/3L is a three door undercounter freezer designed for commercial kitchens where frozen storage needs to sit close to the preparation area. With 435 litres of capacity spread across three sections, it allows multiple users to access different storage zones without disrupting each other — a practical advantage during busy service.
Foster's G3 range has a strong track record in professional kitchen environments. The updated condenser design, which Foster calls +stayclear, is engineered to resist build-up over time, helping the unit maintain its efficiency rather than gradually degrading as blocked condensers often do in working kitchens. The Airlines ventilation system assists compressor cooling, which in a hot kitchen environment can make a measurable difference to running time and energy draw. The unit is also rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, making it suitable for warmer kitchen environments where cheaper units can struggle.
From an operational standpoint, the G3 counter offers several worthwhile advantages:
- The compact footprint recovers usable worktop space above the unit
- 304 stainless steel on doors and covers stands up to heavy daily contact
- PureControl LED display provides clear temperature readout and supports gateway connectivity where monitoring is needed
- Cyclopentane foam insulation helps maintain thermal stability between door openings
- The helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be moved away from the wall for cleaning without strain on the cable
Installation requires a standard electrical supply and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser. Like all undercounter refrigeration, placement in a well-ventilated position away from direct heat sources — ovens, grills, fryers — will support the unit's efficiency and working life. The three door configuration means a wider footprint than a single or two door counter, so run-lengths and surrounding equipment positions need to be confirmed before ordering.
This counter is well suited to mid-size kitchens in restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations that need reliable undercounter frozen storage within the prep line. For smaller operations with tighter runs, a single or two door variant may be more practical. For higher-volume sites where refrigeration demand is more intensive, a larger capacity solution may be worth considering.
If you're unsure whether this model fits your kitchen layout or service volume, our team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit.

EP1 3L Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The Foster EcoPro G3 is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which covers most commercial kitchen environments including those with significant heat from cooking equipment. That said, positioning the unit away from direct heat sources such as ovens or fryers will still help it run more efficiently and extend its working life.
- The unit requires a standard electrical supply and sufficient ventilation clearance around the condenser — Foster's installation guidelines should be followed for exact clearance distances. Because it's a three door counter, the run length is wider than a single or two door model, so it's worth confirming your available wall run before ordering to avoid complications on installation day.
- A three door counter works well where multiple staff are working the same prep line simultaneously, as each door section can be designated for different product types without the whole unit needing to be opened at once. The trade-off is a wider overall footprint, so it suits kitchens with a reasonable run of undercounter space rather than tighter or galley-style layouts.
