EP700H Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700H is a single door upright refrigerator offering 600 litres of usable storage capacity. It sits within Foster's well-established EcoPro G3 cabinet range — a line designed from the ground up with energy efficiency and durability as the primary engineering priorities, rather than as afterthoughts. The stainless steel construction throughout reflects the standard expected of professional kitchens where hygiene and longevity matter.
In a busy service environment, consistent temperature retention is what separates a dependable refrigerator from a liability. The G3 uses high-performance cyclopentane foam insulation to maintain thermal efficiency over the product's working life, which helps keep the compressor from cycling unnecessarily during a heavy service. The +stayclear condenser is designed to resist dust and grease build-up — a practical consideration in commercial kitchens where airflow around units is not always ideal. This helps maintain efficient operation without requiring constant engineer attention to keep running costs in check.
From an operational standpoint, this cabinet offers a number of advantages worth noting:
- A-rated energy performance helps reduce ongoing electricity costs across the kitchen
- PureControl LED controller provides clear, accurate temperature monitoring with low power draw
- Improved Airlines ventilation system reduces compressor running time during ambient temperature peaks
- 304 stainless steel on doors and covers provides durability at the heaviest-use contact points
- Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be moved out for thorough cleaning without disconnecting at the socket
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type, though adequate clearance around the condenser is important for the ventilation system to work as intended. The cabinet is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which makes it appropriate for kitchens where summer heat or proximity to cooking equipment raises the ambient temperature. It is worth confirming your available floor space and ventilation setup before ordering, as performance in a poorly ventilated corner will always be compromised regardless of the unit's specification.
This refrigerator is well suited to mid-size catering operations — hotel kitchens, restaurant back-of-house, pub kitchens, and contract catering sites where a reliable, energy-conscious upright cabinet is needed without the footprint of a larger multi-door unit. For very high-volume sites with significant dairy or chilled goods throughput, a higher-capacity cabinet may be a better fit. Equally, if space is the primary constraint, a counter or undercounter unit from the same G3 range may be worth considering.
If you are weighing this against other options in your refrigeration setup, we are happy to talk through what would work best for your kitchen's layout and service demands.

EP700H Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The EP700H handles the demands of a busy restaurant kitchen well, particularly where a dedicated upright refrigerator is used alongside other chilled storage rather than as the sole unit. For very high-throughput sites or kitchens storing large volumes of dairy and prepared ingredients across extended services, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity cabinet would reduce the frequency of restocking runs and better protect temperature stability when doors are opened frequently.
- The EP700H requires a standard mains electrical connection and sufficient floor space with clearance around the condenser for the ventilation system to work correctly — restricted airflow will reduce efficiency and may affect temperature performance. It is designed as a freestanding unit, so no fixed installation is required, but placing it near heat sources or in a poorly ventilated corner will work against its energy-efficient design.
- Commercial kitchens produce grease-laden air and dust that can clog condenser fins over time, forcing the compressor to work harder and increasing energy consumption. Foster's +stayclear condenser is designed to reduce that build-up, helping the unit maintain its rated efficiency for longer between services. This translates to more stable running costs and less reliance on engineer call-outs to restore performance.
