Overview

Blue Seal E516A-RB Evolution Series 900mm Electric Cooktop with Refrigerated Base

The Blue Seal E516A-RB Evolution Series combines a 900mm electric griddle cooktop with an integrated refrigerated base, delivering a compact, high-output cooking and cold storage solution purpose-built for busy commercial kitchens. Three 3.4kW radiant griddle elements provide a total of 10.2kW of cooking power across a smooth mild steel surface, while energy regulator controls allow precise heat management from a single unit.

The refrigerated base maintains temperatures between -2°C and +8°C and is tropical climate rated, making it suitable for warmer kitchen environments. Two GN 1/1 drawer compartments with 100mm deep pan capacity sit directly beneath the cooking surface, keeping ingredients cold and within arm's reach during service. Constructed in heavy-duty 304 stainless steel and made in New Zealand, the E516A-RB is engineered for the daily demands of professional catering operations.

Key Benefits

• Combines a full 900mm griddle cooktop and refrigerated ingredient storage in a single 900mm footprint, reducing the need for separate equipment and saving valuable kitchen floor space.
• Tropical climate rated refrigeration holds between -2°C and +8°C, keeping perishable ingredients safe and accessible even in warm or high-ambient kitchen environments.
• Three independent 3.4kW radiant elements with energy regulator controls allow different heat zones across the griddle surface, supporting multiple cooking tasks simultaneously.
• Two GN 1/1 drawer compartments with 100mm pan capacity sit directly below the cook surface, minimising travel distance and keeping prep ingredients cold throughout service.
• Adjustable feet and two additional rollers allow the unit to be levelled precisely and repositioned with ease during cleaning or kitchen reconfiguration.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs and a robust stainless steel construction withstand the repeated daily use typical of high-volume commercial kitchens.
• Smooth mild steel griddle surface with a 20mm plate thickness provides even heat distribution and is straightforward to clean down after service.
• Optional hot plate elements offer cooking surface flexibility, allowing the unit to be configured to suit specific menu or operational requirements.
• A 165mm splashback is included as standard, protecting the wall and simplifying cleaning behind the unit.
