Blue Seal E516A-CB Evolution Series - 900mm Electric Cooktop – Cabinet Base

Blue Seal E516A-CB Evolution Series 900mm Electric Griddle Cooktop – Cabinet Base

The Blue Seal E516A-CB is a 900mm electric griddle cooktop from the Evolution Series, mounted on a cabinet base and built for demanding commercial kitchen environments. Three 3.4 kW radiant griddle elements provide 10.2 kW of total cooking power across a smooth mild steel griddle surface, with each 300mm section independently controlled by a thermostat ranging from 50 to 320°C, allowing different temperature zones to operate simultaneously for maximum kitchen flexibility.

Constructed in heavy-duty 304 stainless steel and manufactured in New Zealand, the E516A-CB is engineered for longevity and ease of daily operation. A 165mm splashback, single hinged cabinet door for storage, adjustable feet, and two additional rollers make this unit straightforward to position, level, and maintain. Optional GN 1/1 four-position racking kit and optional hot plate elements extend the unit's versatility to suit a wide range of catering applications.
