Product Description
The Atosa EPF3472HD is a three-door under-counter freezer built for use as a prep counter base in commercial kitchens. With stainless steel throughout — interior and exterior — it provides a hygienic, cleanable working surface at counter height while maintaining frozen storage directly beneath. The side-mounted compressor keeps the cabinet workable in tight prep lines and makes servicing straightforward without disturbing the unit's position on the floor.
In a busy kitchen environment, reliable temperature holding is what matters most in a counter freezer. The EPF3472HD uses a heavy-duty Embraco compressor with a hydrocarbon refrigerant, which is well regarded for consistent performance and longevity under sustained commercial use. The three-door configuration means staff can access specific sections without exposing the entire cabinet to ambient heat — a practical advantage during service when the freezer is being opened repeatedly.
From an operational standpoint, this unit offers a number of day-to-day advantages:
- Stainless steel interior and exterior is durable, easy to clean, and resists the knocks of a working kitchen
- Self-closing doors with magnetic gaskets help maintain temperature and reduce compressor load
- Recessed door handles keep the front profile clean and reduce the risk of snagging in tight spaces
- Pre-installed castors make repositioning and deep cleaning behind the unit practical
- Bridging shelves between door sections allow flexible storage organisation across the full cabinet width
Installation is straightforward — this is a plug-in unit that runs on a standard single-phase supply. No specialist gas or water connections are required. It is worth confirming that the space has adequate ventilation around the compressor housing, as heat generated during operation needs to dissipate freely. Cabinet weight and castors should both be considered when planning placement on tiled or uneven floors.
This counter freezer is well suited to small to medium kitchens — gastro pubs, café kitchens, hotel prep areas, and similar operations where frozen ingredient storage needs to sit within the working line rather than in a separate cold room. For larger operations running multiple prep stations or requiring significantly higher frozen storage capacity, a wider or taller undercounter unit or a multi-door upright cabinet may be a better fit.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your prep layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the stainless steel top is designed to double as a prep surface, which is why units like this are commonly positioned within the working line. That said, it is worth considering whether your workflow places heavy cutting or impact work directly on the lid, as this can affect the cabinet and lid seal over time. A separate chopping board is advisable for heavy prep work.
- The EPF3472HD runs on a standard single-phase mains supply, so no specialist electrical installation is required. The main practical consideration is ventilation — the side-mounted compressor generates heat during operation and needs clear airflow around it to run efficiently. Fitting the unit flush against a wall on the compressor side without adequate clearance can cause the unit to work harder and may shorten compressor life.
- The three-door layout is a real advantage here — staff can open only the section they need rather than exposing the full cabinet interior. The self-closing doors and magnetic gaskets help limit temperature fluctuation between openings. Under sustained peak demand, the Embraco compressor is well regarded for recovery performance, though like all counter freezers it will work harder in a hot kitchen environment, so ambient temperature is worth factoring into placement decisions.
