EP700HL Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700HL is a full-height, two-door upright cabinet that combines refrigerated and frozen storage within a single unit. One compartment operates as a chiller, the other as a freezer, with each section independently controlled — allowing operators to maintain correct holding temperatures across both storage environments without the floor space commitment of two separate cabinets.
In busy service conditions, the dual-temperature configuration performs reliably because the two refrigeration circuits operate independently. The chiller and freezer sections do not compromise one another during peak demand, and the unit is engineered to cope with ambient temperatures up to 43°C — a practical consideration in warm or poorly ventilated kitchen environments where many standard cabinets begin to struggle. The G3 generation also introduces Foster's +stayclear condenser, which resists lint and grease accumulation and helps the unit sustain efficiency between scheduled servicing intervals.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the cabinet brings together a number of considered features:
- Independent refrigeration circuits keep the chiller and freezer sections stable without one affecting the other
- The Airlines ventilation system manages compressor heat more effectively, reducing running time and energy draw over long service periods
- PureControl LED display gives clear temperature visibility at a glance and is connectivity-ready with the addition of a gateway
- 304-grade stainless steel on doors and covers withstands daily cleaning routines and heavy kitchen use
- The helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be moved for cleaning without stressing the cable connection
Installation is straightforward for a self-contained upright of this type. It runs on a standard single-phase supply and requires adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation — particularly important in warmer kitchen spaces. As a dual-temperature unit, it does carry two independent systems and two door seals, both of which are worth including in any planned preventive maintenance schedule.
This cabinet is well suited to smaller professional kitchens, hotel back-of-house areas, satellite prep rooms, and event catering set-ups where both chilled and frozen storage are needed but floor space is limited. Where an operation carries a significantly heavier throughput with distinct high-volume demands across both temperature zones, a pair of dedicated single-temperature uprights may offer greater flexibility and operational redundancy.
If you are weighing up whether the capacity split suits your service pattern, our team is glad to talk it through with you before you make a decision.

EP700HL Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- Yes, this is one of the situations the EP700HL is well designed for. By combining chilled and frozen storage in a single upright footprint, it suits kitchens where both temperature zones are needed but a pair of full-size cabinets cannot be accommodated. It works best where fridge and freezer demand is broadly balanced — if one zone sees significantly heavier use than the other, a dedicated single-temperature cabinet may serve that demand better.
- The EP700HL runs on a standard single-phase electrical supply and is self-contained, so there is no requirement for remote refrigeration or pipework. It does need adequate clearance at the rear and sides to allow proper ventilation — this is particularly important in warmer or enclosed kitchen environments. If you are installing it into a tight alcove or a hot kitchen, it is worth discussing ventilation clearances before positioning the unit.
- Because the unit houses two independent refrigeration circuits, there are two sets of components — including two door seals and two condensers — to include in any planned maintenance programme. The +stayclear condenser design helps reduce the frequency of condenser cleaning, but routine checks on both systems should be factored into your kitchen maintenance schedule from the outset. This is standard practice for any dual-temperature cabinet and not a reason to avoid the configuration, but it is worth planning for.
