EP1 2H Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/2H is a two-door refrigerated counter offering 280 litres of chilled storage at worktop level. It sits within Foster's established EcoPro G3 counter range and is built to keep ingredients accessible directly on the prep line, reducing the need for repeated trips to a remote cold room during a busy service.
In a working commercial kitchen, consistent temperature holding under sustained use is where this unit earns its place. The ventilation system actively cools the compressor, helping the counter maintain stable temperatures even when ambient kitchen heat is high. The improved condenser design also resists the gradual efficiency loss that can affect heavily used counters over time — a practical consideration for both running costs and food safety compliance across a long service life.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the G3 offers several worthwhile advantages:
- Stainless steel doors and covers hold up well under heavy daily use
- Cyclopentane foam insulation retains thermal performance throughout the unit's working life
- PureControl LED display gives clear temperature visibility at a glance
- Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled out for cleaning without disconnecting the supply
- Compact footprint suits tighter kitchen layouts without sacrificing usable storage
Installation is generally straightforward, but a few points are worth confirming before ordering. Allow adequate clearance around the condenser for airflow, ensure the floor is level and capable of supporting the loaded weight, and check overhead height clearance if the unit is to sit beneath an existing counter run. Your installer should verify the exact electrical supply requirements at the point of fitting.
The EP1/2H suits cafés, restaurant kitchens, hotel operations, and contract catering sites that need reliable under-counter refrigeration on a working prep line. It is well matched to medium-volume services. Higher-throughput sites or larger prep teams may find it worth considering a greater-capacity configuration, while smaller or lower-volume operations may not require this level of storage.
If you would like to talk through whether this counter fits your layout, service pattern, or existing refrigeration setup, the team is happy to help before you commit.

EP1 2H Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The EP1/2H is well suited to medium-volume operations — busy restaurants, café kitchens, and hotel prep areas where ingredients need to be close to hand during service. For larger prep teams or sites running extended service periods with high door-opening frequency, it is worth discussing whether a greater-capacity counter configuration would be a better fit for your throughput.
- Before the unit arrives, confirm that you have a level hard floor capable of supporting the loaded weight, adequate clearance around the condenser for airflow, and sufficient overhead height if the counter is to sit beneath an existing run. Your installer should verify the electrical supply requirements on site, as local conditions can vary.
- The G3's ventilation system actively cools the compressor, which helps the unit maintain stable internal temperatures even when the surrounding kitchen environment is warm. The improved condenser design also resists the gradual performance degradation that can develop in heavily used counters over time, making it a practical choice for kitchens where ambient heat is a regular factor.
