EP1 2L Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/2L is a two door under-counter freezer offering 280 litres of frozen storage at worktop height. It is designed to sit within a commercial prep or service line, keeping frozen product immediately accessible without the footprint of a floor-standing cabinet. This is a unit built around the day-to-day demands of a working kitchen, not a domestic or light-use environment.
Foster's EcoPro G3 range has earned a solid reputation in professional kitchens for holding consistent temperatures across long operating periods. The improved ventilation design reduces compressor run time, which contributes to meaningful energy savings over a full week of service. The +stayclear condenser is engineered to resist the dust and grease build-up that is unavoidable in a commercial kitchen environment — a common source of efficiency loss in lower-cost alternatives — helping the unit maintain its performance throughout its working life.
From an operational standpoint, the G3 counter offers several practical advantages for busy kitchen teams:
- PureControl LED display is straightforward to read and adjust quickly during service
- 304 stainless steel on doors and covers holds up well to daily cleaning and physical contact
- Cyclopentane foam insulation maintains thermal integrity over the long term
- Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be moved for cleaning underneath without disconnecting from the wall
- Fully floating lock mechanism reduces the risk of door damage if a key is caught during service
The unit is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which makes it a practical choice for warmer kitchen environments where less robust units can struggle to hold temperature reliably. At standard worktop height, the surface above can serve as active prep space — a useful consideration where floor area is at a premium.
The EP1/2L is well suited to small and medium commercial kitchens, café kitchens, pub and restaurant prep areas, and grab-and-go operations where under-counter frozen storage needs to sit close to the cooking or assembly line. For higher-volume sites running extended service across multiple prep stations, it is worth considering whether a larger capacity unit would better meet demand.
If you would like to talk through whether this model fits your kitchen layout and service pattern, the team at Advantage is happy to help before you commit to a purchase.

EP1 2L Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The EP1/2L is well suited to small and medium operations where under-counter frozen storage is needed close to the line. For sites running continuous service across multiple stations with high stock turnover, a larger under-counter or upright freezer cabinet may provide better capacity and access — it is worth discussing your service pattern with us before deciding.
- The unit requires a standard single-phase mains connection and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser to operate efficiently. It is designed to integrate into a counter run at standard worktop height, but it is worth confirming the available space and ventilation arrangement in your kitchen before installation, particularly in enclosed counter configurations.
- In a busy commercial kitchen, grease-laden air and dust will gradually clog a standard condenser, forcing the compressor to work harder and reducing efficiency over time. Foster's +stayclear condenser is designed to resist this build-up, helping the unit hold its energy performance and temperature consistency across years of daily use rather than degrading gradually as many lower-cost units do.
