About this product
Blue Seal G516C-RB Evolution Series 900mm Gas Cooktop with Refrigerated Base
The Blue Seal G516C-RB Evolution Series combines a high-output 900mm gas cooktop with an integrated refrigerated base, delivering a complete cook-and-store solution in a single 900mm-wide unit. The cooktop features four 28MJ/hr open burners plus a 300mm right-hand griddle powered by a dedicated 20MJ/hr burner, giving a total gas rating of 132MJ/hr (36.6kW), while the ventilated refrigerated base maintains temperatures between -2°C and +8°C with digital electronic thermostat control and automatic defrost.
Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, the G516C-RB is engineered for the demands of busy commercial kitchens. Flame failure protection on every burner, push-button piezo ignition on the griddle, removable cast iron burners, vitreous enamel pot stands, and heavy-duty reinforced control knobs make the unit as safe and practical to operate as it is straightforward to clean and service. Adjustable feet and two additional rollers allow easy repositioning on the kitchen floor.
Key Benefits
- Integrated refrigerated base keeps ingredients chilled directly beneath the cooking surface, reducing unnecessary movement and speeding up service.
- Total gas output of 132MJ/hr across five burners delivers serious cooking capacity suited to high-volume commercial service periods.
- Flame failure protection on all burners automatically shuts off gas if a flame is extinguished, protecting staff and complying with commercial kitchen safety requirements.
- Automatic defrost and automatic evaporation of defrost water in the refrigerated base minimises maintenance tasks and downtime.
- Ventilated, tropical-rated refrigeration with a digital electronic thermostat provides consistent, reliable cold holding from -2°C to +8°C regardless of ambient kitchen temperatures.
- Removable cast iron burners and vitreous enamel pot stands simplify cleaning and can be swapped out quickly if required during service.
- Adjustable feet and two additional rollers allow the unit to sit level on uneven floors and be repositioned easily for cleaning or reconfiguration.
- Available in both natural gas and LPG configurations, giving flexibility across different site installations.
