EP1 2M Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/2M is a two-door under-counter refrigerator designed specifically for raw meat storage in commercial kitchen environments. Rather than doubling up a general-purpose fridge for meat holding, this unit operates within the temperature range required for dedicated raw meat compliance, sitting neatly at prep counter level where it can be accessed without interrupting workflow.
The G3 counter range has a solid track record in busy kitchens for maintaining consistent temperatures during service. Foster's improved ventilation design allows the compressor to run more efficiently, which helps the unit hold performance even in warm kitchen environments — a genuine consideration in kitchens where ambient temperatures can climb significantly during a busy service. The +stayclear condenser resists build-up over time, reducing the frequency of engineer callouts and helping the unit sustain efficiency throughout its working life.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the G3 offers several practical advantages:
- Counter-height design integrates directly into prep areas without disrupting kitchen layout
- 304 stainless steel on doors and covers withstands heavy daily use and cleans down quickly
- PureControl LED display is easy to read in a demanding kitchen environment
- Cyclopentane foam insulation maintains thermal performance throughout the unit's working life
- Helicoil mains lead allows the counter to be moved for floor cleaning without disconnecting
Installation requires a standard mains connection and adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation. The floating lock mechanism is a thoughtful detail that reduces the risk of damage if a key is left in the lock — a small but practical consideration in a busy kitchen. Before ordering, it is worth confirming available counter run length and door swing clearance to ensure the unit fits the intended position cleanly.
This model is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and catering operations with a consistent throughput of raw meat that warrants dedicated cold storage at point of use. It is particularly relevant where food safety procedures require the physical separation of raw meat from other chilled goods. For very high-volume operations processing large quantities of meat daily, a larger upright or multi-door solution may be worth considering instead.
If you'd like to talk through whether this unit fits your kitchen layout and service requirements, our team is glad to help before you place an order.

EP1 2M Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The EP1/2M has a compact two-door counter footprint that is designed to fit into constrained kitchen layouts. That said, it is worth measuring your available counter run and checking door swing clearance before ordering, as these are the most common fit issues we see on installation.
- The unit runs from a standard mains connection and does not require specialist utilities. You will need to ensure adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet — particularly at the rear and top — to allow the improved ventilation system to operate efficiently and protect compressor life.
- The G3's improved ventilation design is intended to keep the compressor cooler, which reduces run time and helps the unit hold its target temperature even when ambient kitchen temperatures are elevated. For kitchens that run particularly hot, it is worth discussing your environment with us so we can confirm this model is the right fit.
