XR3H Counter Refrigerator Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster XR3H is a three-door under-counter refrigerator from Foster's XR range. It provides chilled storage at worktop height across three separately accessed sections, giving kitchen teams direct reach to ingredients and prepped items without stepping away from the line. With 435 litres of usable capacity, it sits at a practical size for kitchens where refrigerated storage needs to be close to the point of use without dominating floor space.
In a working kitchen environment, the XR3H holds up reliably through a standard service period. Fan-assisted cooling distributes temperature evenly across the cabinet, which helps maintain consistent conditions even when doors are opened repeatedly during a busy shift. Auto defrost removes the need for manual intervention between services, keeping the unit running efficiently without adding to the team's workload.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the XR3H offers several practical advantages:
- Stainless steel construction withstands the knocks and cleaning regimes typical of a commercial kitchen
- Adjustable gastronorm-compatible shelving allows flexible storage layouts to be reconfigured as needed
- Three separate door sections allow access to one area without exposing the full cabinet to warm air
- Replaceable door gaskets simplify maintenance and help extend the working life of the unit
- Auto defrost reduces routine intervention demands on kitchen staff during and between services
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. It requires a standard single-phase electrical connection and adequate clearance for ventilation. The unit is designed to sit flush within a counter run, so it is worth confirming your available run length and plinth height requirements before ordering. As with all refrigeration, avoid positioning directly adjacent to high-heat appliances without appropriate thermal separation.
The XR3H is well suited to pub kitchens, café operations, smaller restaurant prep areas, and similar environments where reliable under-counter refrigeration is needed at a practical scale. For higher-volume sites with more demanding throughput, a heavier-duty or larger-capacity model within the Foster range may be worth considering.
If you want to talk through whether this unit fits your kitchen layout or service pattern before committing, the team is glad to help.

XR3H Counter Refrigerator Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The XR3H is a reliable choice for kitchens running steady service volumes — pub kitchens, café operations, and smaller à la carte restaurants are typical environments where it performs well. For high-volume sites with consistently heavy throughput and frequent door opening across long service periods, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity or heavier-duty unit would be a better fit for the workload.
- The unit runs on a standard single-phase electrical supply and needs adequate ventilation clearance — check the condenser configuration to confirm whether clearance is required at the rear or top. It is designed to integrate into a counter run, so confirm your available run length and plinth height before ordering, and ensure it will not be positioned directly next to high-heat cooking equipment without thermal separation.
- Having three separate door sections means staff can access one zone of the cabinet without exposing the full interior to ambient kitchen heat. During a busy service when doors are opened repeatedly, this helps the unit maintain stable temperatures more efficiently and reduces unnecessary load on the refrigeration system.
