HR240 Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster HR240 is a two-door under-counter refrigerator offering 240 litres of chilled storage within a compact stainless steel cabinet designed to sit beneath standard worktops. It operates at dairy temperatures and is built for kitchens where floor space is limited but consistent, reliable refrigeration remains a priority.
Under-counter refrigeration earns its keep by placing chilled ingredients at the point of preparation without consuming valuable standing space. The HR240 is rated for ambient temperatures up to 40°C, which gives it practical dependability in warmer kitchen environments where less capable units can drift off temperature during a busy service. Its front-breathing refrigeration system — drawing and expelling air from the front rather than the sides or rear — is one of its more operationally useful features. This allows the cabinet to be installed within an enclosed under-counter run or a built-in configuration without requiring ventilation clearances at the sides or back.
- Front-breathing design suits installation in enclosed under-counter runs
- GN 1/1 compatible interior supports standard gastronorm storage
- Rear roller castors and front levelling bolts allow repositioning and precise levelling
- Aluminium interior is easy to clean and holds up well under daily kitchen use
- A-rated energy classification helps keep running costs manageable across long operating hours
The unit runs from a standard single-phase supply and requires no water connection. The front grille must remain clear for adequate airflow. Before ordering, it is worth confirming that your existing worktop height and run configuration will accommodate the cabinet properly.
The HR240 is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and smaller prep areas where dairy storage is needed close to the bench or pass. It is also commonly used as supplementary refrigeration in larger operations. Where higher capacity or a wider temperature range is required, Foster's upright and multi-door cabinets are worth considering.
If you'd like to talk through whether this cabinet fits your layout or service pattern, our team is happy to help you work it out.

HR240 Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the front-breathing refrigeration system draws and expels air from the front of the unit, which means it does not require clearance at the sides or rear. The front grille must remain unobstructed, but the cabinet can otherwise be fitted flush within an enclosed run or built-in configuration.
- The HR240 is well suited to smaller operations where dairy-temperature storage is needed close to the preparation area. For higher-volume sites running extended services or storing larger quantities of perishables, a heavier-duty upright or larger-capacity cabinet may serve better — it is worth having a conversation with us if you are unsure.
- The unit runs from a standard single-phase electrical supply and requires no water connection or drainage. There is no need for rear clearance due to the front-breathing design, but you should confirm your worktop height and run dimensions before ordering to ensure the cabinet fits correctly.
