EP1 2M Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/2M is a two-door under-counter refrigerator built specifically for meat storage in commercial kitchen environments. It operates within the temperature range required for raw meat holding, making it a practical choice for kitchens that need dedicated, compliant cold storage at prep counter level rather than sharing space in a general-purpose fridge.
In busy kitchens, the G3 counter range is well regarded for consistent temperature maintenance during service. The improved ventilation system cools the compressor more efficiently, which reduces running time and helps sustain performance even in warm kitchen environments — Foster rates it for ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which covers the majority of commercial kitchen conditions in the UK. The +stayclear condenser is a practical addition; it resists build-up over time, which helps the unit maintain its efficiency without requiring frequent engineer attention.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the G3 offers several tangible advantages for kitchen teams:
- Counter-height design integrates directly into prep workflows without disrupting layout
- 304 stainless steel on doors and covers handles heavy daily use and cleans down easily
- PureControl LED display is clear and straightforward to read in a busy kitchen environment
- Cyclopentane foam insulation maintains thermal efficiency over the unit's working life
- Floating lock mechanism reduces the risk of damage if a key is left in the lock
Installation requires a standard mains connection and adequate ventilation clearance around the unit. The helicoil mains lead allows the counter to be moved for cleaning without disconnecting, which is a practical detail in kitchens where floor hygiene is regularly audited. The compact footprint is well suited to kitchens where space is constrained, though it is worth confirming the available run of counter and door swing clearance before ordering.
This model is best suited to restaurants, hotels, and catering operations with a regular throughput of meat that justify dedicated cold storage at point of use. It is particularly practical where food safety compliance requires separation of raw meat from other chilled goods. For very high-volume operations processing large quantities of meat daily, a larger capacity upright or multi-door solution may be worth considering instead.
If you're unsure whether this counter suits your layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

EP1 2M Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The EP1/2M operates within the temperature range required for raw meat holding under UK food safety guidelines, making it appropriate for beef, pork, poultry, and similar raw proteins. If your operation involves cured meats or charcuterie that require a slightly different temperature band, it is worth checking the specific holding requirements against the unit's operating range before ordering.
- The G3 counter requires a standard mains electrical connection and sufficient ventilation clearance to allow the condenser to function correctly — restricting airflow around the unit will reduce efficiency and shorten component life. It does not require a water connection or specialist drainage. The helicoil lead gives a degree of flexibility for positioning, but you should confirm the available space and door swing clearance in your layout before installation.
- The G3 is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which covers most commercial kitchen environments in the UK even during summer service. The Airlines ventilation system actively cools the compressor during high-load periods, helping the unit recover temperature efficiently after door openings. For kitchens running consistently at very high ambient temperatures, it is worth discussing your specific conditions with us to confirm suitability.
