EP1 2H Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/2H is a two-door refrigerated counter providing 280 litres of chilled storage at worktop level. It sits within Foster's established EcoPro G3 counter range and is designed to keep ingredients accessible directly on the prep line, reducing the need for repeated trips to a remote cold room during service.
In busy kitchen environments, consistent temperature maintenance under sustained use is where this unit earns its place. The ventilation system actively cools the compressor, reducing running time and helping the counter hold stable temperatures even when the kitchen ambient is high. The improved condenser design also resists the gradual efficiency loss that can affect heavily used counters over time, which makes a practical difference to both running costs and food safety compliance across a long service life.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the G3 offers several worthwhile advantages:
- Doors and high-contact covers finished in 304 stainless steel for durability under heavy daily use
- Cyclopentane foam insulation retains thermal performance throughout the unit's working life
- PureControl LED display provides clear temperature visibility with connectivity options available
- Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled out for cleaning without disconnecting the supply
- Compact footprint suits tighter kitchen layouts without sacrificing usable storage capacity
Installation is straightforward, but a few practical points are worth confirming before ordering. Ensure adequate clearance around the condenser for airflow, a level hard floor capable of supporting the loaded weight, and correct height clearance if the unit is to sit beneath an existing counter run. Your installer should verify the exact electrical supply requirements at the time of fitting.
The EP1/2H is a practical choice for cafés, restaurant kitchens, hotel operations, and contract catering sites that need reliable under-counter refrigeration on a working prep line. It suits medium-volume operations well. Higher-throughput sites or larger prep teams may find it worth exploring a greater-capacity configuration, while smaller or lower-volume kitchens may not require this level of storage.
If you would like to talk through whether this counter fits your layout, service pattern, or existing refrigeration setup, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.

EP1 2H Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The G3 counter is well suited to medium-volume operations and handles sustained daily use reliably. For kitchens running very high throughput, large prep teams working simultaneously, or extended multi-service days, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity counter or a multi-section configuration would better match the workload — the team can help assess this based on your service pattern.
- The main points to confirm are the height clearance between the unit top and any overhang, adequate airflow space around the condenser, a level hard floor capable of supporting the loaded weight, and access to an appropriate mains supply. Your installer should verify the electrical requirements on site before fitting.
- The EcoPro G3 is designed to operate in ambient conditions up to 43°C, which makes it a practical option for kitchens that generate significant heat during service. The active compressor ventilation system helps the unit maintain stable internal temperatures without working harder than necessary, which also contributes to its long-term efficiency.
