EP1 4H Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/4H is a four-door refrigerated counter unit from Foster's established EcoPro G3 range. Designed to sit beneath a prep surface, it provides chilled storage directly at the point of use — keeping ingredients and prepared items at the right temperature without operators moving away from the line. The four-door configuration gives practical access to divided storage zones, which suits kitchens that need to separate product types or keep different sections of a prep team independently stocked.
In a busy kitchen environment, counter fridges take considerable punishment — doors opening repeatedly during service, ambient temperatures rising, and heavy containers stacked and unstacked throughout the day. The G3 range is built with this in mind. The +stayclear condenser is designed to resist the grease and dust build-up that can degrade refrigeration efficiency over time, helping the unit maintain consistent performance rather than gradually losing effectiveness between service intervals. The Airlines ventilation system supports compressor cooling, which contributes to reduced running time and lower energy draw over the course of a shift.
From an operational standpoint, a few features are worth noting:
- PureControl LED display offers clear temperature monitoring without unnecessary complexity
- 304 stainless steel on doors and covers stands up to the wear of a working kitchen
- Cyclopentane foam insulation helps sustain thermal efficiency under repeated door opening
- Fully floating lock resists breakage during heavy daily use
- Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be moved for thorough cleaning without strain on the cable
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type, but it is worth confirming that the space allows adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser — restricted airflow is a common cause of reduced efficiency and premature wear. The unit is rated to perform in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which makes it suitable for kitchens where the environment warms considerably during service. Confirm your electrical supply is appropriate before installation.
This counter is well suited to mid-sized to larger kitchens — restaurants, hotels, contract catering operations, and similar sites — where a dedicated prep line benefits from under-counter refrigeration with meaningful capacity. For smaller operations where a two-door unit would suffice, or for high-volume sites where worktop-height refrigeration alone may not be enough, there are alternatives in the range worth considering.
If you're unsure whether this configuration suits your kitchen layout or service model, we're happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

EP1 4H Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The EP1/4H works well in mid-sized to larger operations such as restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering sites where a busy prep line needs reliable under-counter refrigeration. For very high-volume environments where demand on chilled storage is particularly intense, it's worth discussing whether additional capacity or a different configuration would serve the site better.
- Confirm there is adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser — restricted airflow is one of the most common causes of reduced efficiency and can shorten equipment life. You should also verify your electrical supply is suitable and that the installation position allows the helicoil mains lead to be managed safely, particularly if the unit needs to be moved for cleaning.
- The EcoPro G3 is designed to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which makes it appropriate for commercial kitchens where the surrounding environment can rise significantly during service. The combination of the Airlines ventilation system and the +stayclear condenser is intended to maintain stable performance even when conditions are demanding.
