EP700HL Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700HL is a full-height, two-door upright cabinet that provides both refrigerated and frozen storage within a single footprint. Each section operates on its own independent refrigeration circuit, with its own temperature controls, so the chiller and freezer compartments can be managed correctly without one influencing the other. For kitchens where floor space is genuinely constrained, it removes the need to accommodate two separate cabinets.
In busy service conditions the independent circuits are a practical advantage — peak demand in one zone does not pull performance from the other. The G3 generation is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which matters in warm or poorly ventilated kitchen environments where standard equipment can begin to struggle during service. Foster's +stayclear condenser is designed to resist the build-up of lint and grease between service intervals, helping the unit sustain efficiency without requiring constant attention.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the cabinet includes several features worth noting:
- Independent refrigeration circuits keep both temperature zones stable regardless of load
- Airlines ventilation system manages compressor heat, reducing running time over long service periods
- PureControl LED display gives clear temperature readings and is connectivity-ready with a gateway addition
- 304-grade stainless steel on doors and covers stands up to daily cleaning and heavy kitchen use
- Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled out for cleaning without stressing the cable
Installation is straightforward for a self-contained upright of this type. It runs on a standard single-phase supply and requires adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation — especially relevant in warmer kitchen spaces. Carrying two independent refrigeration systems and two door seals, both are worth including in any planned preventive maintenance schedule to keep performance consistent.
This cabinet is well suited to smaller professional kitchens, hotel back-of-house areas, satellite prep rooms, and event catering environments where both chilled and frozen storage are needed but a full two-cabinet solution is not practical. Where an operation runs significantly higher throughput with distinct volume demands across both temperature zones, separate dedicated uprights would offer more operational flexibility and redundancy.
If you are unsure whether the capacity split across the two compartments suits your service pattern, our team is happy to work through it with you before you commit.
Key Features
- Two independent refrigeration circuits — one chiller, one freezer in a single upright
- +stayclear condenser resists lint and grease build-up between service intervals
- Rated for ambient temperatures up to 43°C for warm kitchen environments
- PureControl LED display with optional gateway connectivity for temperature monitoring
- Helicoil mains lead allows repositioning for cleaning without cable strain
Operational Benefits
- Saves valuable floor space by combining two temperature zones in one cabinet
- Stable temperatures across both zones even during high-demand service periods
- Maintains efficiency between services, reducing energy draw over long operating hours
- Clear temperature visibility supports food safety compliance during daily operation
- Robust stainless steel construction withstands the demands of continuous commercial use

EP700HL Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- On the EP700HL the two compartments are fixed — one is configured as a chiller and one as a freezer, each with its own independent circuit and controls. The temperature within each zone can be set to your requirements, but the physical division between the two sections cannot be altered. It is worth mapping out your typical stock volumes across both temperature zones before purchasing to confirm the split works for your operation.
- The EP700HL runs on a standard single-phase mains supply, so no specialist electrical work is required in most commercial kitchen settings. The main practical consideration is ventilation clearance — adequate space at the rear and sides is needed to allow heat to dissipate effectively, and this becomes more important in warmer or poorly ventilated kitchens. If you are installing into a tight run or an enclosed alcove, it is worth discussing the layout before the unit arrives.
- The G3 generation is designed for sustained commercial use, and the +stayclear condenser helps maintain efficiency between planned maintenance visits by resisting the grease and lint accumulation that typically degrades performance in kitchen environments. As with any dual-temperature unit, the two door seals and two refrigeration circuits both warrant inclusion in a regular preventive maintenance schedule — keeping on top of seal condition in particular will protect temperature consistency and running costs over time.
