HR240 Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster HR240 is a compact, two-door under-counter refrigerator offering 240 litres of usable storage within a stainless steel cabinet designed to sit beneath standard worktops. Built for dairy temperature products, it is a practical solution where floor space is tight but reliable chilled storage remains essential.
In a working kitchen, under-counter refrigeration earns its keep by keeping ingredients close to the point of preparation without consuming valuable standing space. The HR240 is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 40°C, which makes it a credible choice for warmer kitchen environments where some units can struggle. The front-breathing refrigeration system is a notable practical consideration — because it draws and expels air from the front rather than the sides or rear, the unit can be positioned in enclosed or built-in spaces without ventilation gaps around the cabinet.
Key operational characteristics worth noting:
- Front-breathing system allows placement in enclosed under-counter runs
- GN 1/1 compatible interior suited to standard gastronorm storage
- Roller castors at the rear and levelling bolts at the front allow repositioning and precise levelling on uneven floors
- Aluminium interior is straightforward to clean and resistant to daily wear
- A-rated energy classification helps manage running costs over long operating hours
Installation is relatively straightforward — the unit requires a standard single-phase electrical supply and no water connection. The front-breathing design removes the need for rear clearance, though adequate airflow to the front grille should be maintained at all times. It is worth confirming that your worktop height and run configuration will accommodate the cabinet dimensions before ordering.
The HR240 is well suited to smaller operations — cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and prep areas — where dairy storage is needed close to the pass or prep bench. It is also commonly used as secondary refrigeration in larger kitchens. For operations requiring greater storage capacity or a wider temperature range, larger upright or multi-door alternatives within the Foster range may be worth considering.

HR240 Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the front-breathing refrigeration system draws and expels air through the front grille, so the unit does not require side or rear ventilation gaps. You do need to ensure the front grille remains unobstructed during operation for the system to work correctly.
- The HR240 works well as primary dairy refrigeration in lower-volume operations such as cafés, small restaurants, or pub kitchens, and as secondary chilled storage in larger sites. For high-volume services with significant dairy throughput, a larger upright cabinet may provide more practical capacity.
- The unit runs on a standard single-phase electrical supply and requires no water connection or drainage, which keeps installation straightforward. If you are unsure about supply requirements for your specific kitchen setup, it is worth confirming with a qualified electrician before installation.
