EP700HL Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700HL is a full-height, two-door upright cabinet that combines refrigerated and frozen storage in a single unit. One compartment operates as a chiller, the other as a freezer, each independently controlled — allowing operators to maintain correct temperatures across both storage environments without requiring two separate cabinets.
In a busy commercial kitchen, this kind of dual-temperature configuration earns its place on the floor plan. It suits services where space is at a premium and where fridge and freezer demand is broadly balanced — such as small to medium restaurant kitchens, hotel back-of-house areas, or prep kitchens running a compact footprint. The independent refrigeration circuits mean the chiller and freezer sections do not compromise one another during service, and the unit is designed to perform reliably in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, making it a practical choice for warm or poorly ventilated kitchen environments.
Foster's G3 generation brings a number of considered improvements that translate well in day-to-day kitchen use:
- The +stayclear condenser resists lint and grease build-up, helping the unit maintain its efficiency over time with less intervention
- The improved Airlines ventilation system manages compressor heat more effectively, reducing running time and energy draw
- PureControl LED display offers clear temperature monitoring and is connectivity-ready with the addition of a gateway
- 304-grade stainless steel on doors and covers — the higher-specification grade — holds up to heavy daily use and routine cleaning
- The helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be moved out for cleaning without straining the connection
Installation is straightforward for a self-contained upright cabinet of this type, though the unit will need adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation — especially in warmer kitchen environments. It runs on a standard single-phase supply. The dual-temperature design does mean two separate door seals and two independent systems to maintain over time, which is worth factoring into a planned maintenance schedule.
This cabinet is well suited to operators who need both chilled and frozen storage but cannot justify the floor space for two separate uprights. It works particularly well in smaller professional kitchens, satellite prep areas, and event catering set-ups. If your operation runs a heavier throughput with distinct high-volume chiller and freezer demands, a pair of dedicated single-temperature cabinets may give you more flexibility and redundancy.
If you are unsure whether the capacity split or configuration suits your service pattern, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

EP700HL Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- It depends on how your storage demand is distributed. The EP700HL works well where fridge and freezer needs are broadly balanced and space is limited. If your operation places significantly heavier demand on one temperature zone — for example a high-volume pastry section requiring substantial frozen storage — a pair of dedicated single-temperature cabinets will typically give you better capacity management and operational redundancy.
- The EP700HL is a self-contained refrigeration unit running on a standard single-phase electrical supply, so there is no specialist gas or water connection required. You will need adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation — particularly at the rear — and this becomes more important in warmer or enclosed kitchen spaces. Check the unit's footprint against your available floor run before ordering, as full-height cabinets of this type require consistent overhead clearance as well.
- Traditional condensers in commercial refrigeration can accumulate grease and airborne particles relatively quickly in a busy kitchen, which gradually reduces efficiency and increases energy use. Foster's +stayclear condenser is designed to resist this build-up, meaning the unit holds its performance for longer between services. It does not eliminate the need for periodic condenser checks, but it does reduce the frequency with which intervention is typically needed.
