EP1 2L Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/2L is a two door under-counter freezer providing 280 litres of frozen storage at worktop height. It is designed to sit within a commercial prep or service line, keeping frozen product immediately accessible without requiring a separate floor-standing unit. This is a workday freezer built around the practical demands of a busy kitchen rather than a domestic or light-use environment.
Foster's EcoPro G3 range has a well-established reputation in professional kitchens for consistent holding temperatures and solid energy performance across extended operating periods. The improved ventilation design reduces the time the compressor needs to run, which contributes to meaningful energy savings over a full week of service. The +stayclear condenser is engineered to resist the dust and grease build-up that is unavoidable in a working kitchen, helping the unit hold its efficiency over time rather than gradually degrading — a common problem with lower-cost alternatives.
From an operational standpoint, the G3 counter offers several practical advantages for busy teams:
- PureControl LED display is easy to read and adjust quickly during service
- 304 stainless steel construction on doors and covers stands up well to daily cleaning and physical use
- Cyclopentane foam insulation maintains thermal performance throughout the unit's working life
- Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be moved clear for cleaning underneath without disconnecting from the wall
- Fully floating lock mechanism reduces the risk of damage if a key is left in and the door is knocked during service
The unit is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which makes it a practical choice for warmer kitchen environments where less robust units can struggle to hold temperature reliably. It sits at a standard worktop height, so the surface above can be used as active prep space — a useful consideration where floor area is limited.
The EP1/2L is well suited to small and medium commercial kitchens, café kitchens, pub and restaurant prep areas, and grab-and-go operations where under-counter frozen storage is needed close to the cooking or assembly line. For higher-volume sites running extended service across multiple prep stations, it is worth considering whether a larger under-counter unit or an upright freezer cabinet would better meet the demand.
If you would like to talk through whether this model is the right fit for your kitchen layout and service pattern, the team at Advantage is glad to help before you make a decision.

EP1 2L Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- Yes, the G3 counter is designed for continuous commercial use and holds temperature reliably through back-to-back services. It performs well in small to medium kitchens where frozen product needs to stay accessible throughout a full day's operation. If your service volume means you are regularly restocking the unit mid-service, it may be worth discussing whether a higher-capacity unit would suit you better.
- The EP1/2L requires a standard UK mains electrical supply and should be positioned with adequate clearance at the rear and sides to allow airflow around the condenser. It is designed to integrate into a counter run at standard worktop height. As with all refrigeration equipment, it should be installed on a level surface, and the surrounding ambient temperature should be within the unit's rated operating range.
- In a working kitchen, grease and dust accumulate quickly on condenser fins, which forces the compressor to work harder and can lead to temperature instability and early component wear. The +stayclear condenser is designed to resist this build-up, helping the unit maintain its efficiency without requiring frequent manual cleaning of the condenser itself. Over the working life of the unit, this contributes to more consistent performance and lower running costs.
