EP1 3L Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/3L is a three door undercounter freezer designed to sit within the prep line, keeping frozen storage accessible at the point of use rather than requiring staff to break away to a separate cold room. The 435-litre capacity is divided across three independently accessed sections, which makes it practical during busy service periods — different users can reach different zones simultaneously without blocking one another.
Foster's G3 range has earned a solid reputation in working kitchens, and a few specific design decisions make a meaningful difference in day-to-day operation. The +stayclear condenser is built to resist the gradual build-up that quietly degrades performance over time in busy environments. The Airlines ventilation system supports compressor cooling, which matters in kitchen conditions where ambient temperatures can place real stress on refrigeration. The unit is designed to cope with high ambient temperatures, making it dependable in the kinds of service conditions that cause less robust equipment to cut out or underperform.
From a practical standpoint, the G3 counter offers several operational advantages worth noting:
- Three separate door sections allow simultaneous access across zones during service
- 304 stainless steel on doors and covers stands up well to constant daily contact
- PureControl LED display provides a clear temperature readout with remote monitoring connectivity where required
- Cyclopentane foam insulation helps maintain stable internal temperatures between door openings
- Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled forward for cleaning without stressing the cable
Installation requires a standard electrical connection and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser. As with any undercounter refrigeration, positioning away from direct heat sources — ovens, fryers, grills — will protect performance and extend working life. The three door configuration has a wider footprint than a single or two door counter, so it is worth confirming run lengths and surrounding equipment positions before ordering, particularly in kitchens where space is tight.
This unit is well suited to mid-size restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations that need reliable undercounter frozen storage integrated into the prep line. For smaller operations or tighter counter runs, a single or two door variant is worth considering. For higher-volume sites with more intensive refrigeration demands, a larger capacity solution may be a better match.
If you would like to talk through how this counter fits your kitchen layout and service requirements, our team is happy to help you work through the options before you commit.

EP1 3L Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The three door layout carries a notably wider footprint than a single or two door counter, so it is worth measuring your available run carefully before ordering. If your counter space is tight or broken up by equipment, a smaller door configuration may give you more flexibility without sacrificing much usable storage.
- The Airlines ventilation system is designed to support the compressor in high-ambient conditions, which is a genuine consideration in kitchens where heat from cooking equipment can stress refrigeration units. Positioning the counter away from direct heat sources such as fryers and ovens will further protect efficiency and working life.
- The EP1/3L is commonly used in mid-size restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where frozen storage needs to be integrated into the prep line rather than tucked away in a separate area. It is less well suited to very small kitchens where the footprint would be difficult to accommodate, or to very high-volume sites that may benefit from a larger capacity solution.
