Blue Seal E516B-RB Evolution Series 900mm Electric Cooktop with Refrigerated Base

The Blue Seal E516B-RB Evolution Series combines a 900mm electric cooktop with an integrated refrigerated base, delivering a compact, high-performance cooking and cold storage solution for busy commercial kitchens. The cooktop features two 2.4kW radiant elements alongside a 600mm griddle zone powered by two 3.4kW elements, with the griddle positioned on the right-hand side as standard. The refrigerated underbody maintains temperatures from -2°C to +8°C and is tropical climate rated, keeping prep ingredients safely chilled directly beneath the cooking surface.

Constructed in heavy-duty 304 stainless steel and built in New Zealand, the E516B-RB is engineered to withstand the demands of daily commercial use. The refrigerated base houses two GN 1/1 drawers with 100mm deep pan capacity, providing convenient, organised ingredient access during service. Adjustable feet and two additional rollers offer flexibility in positioning, while the straightforward design makes cleaning, installation, and ongoing servicing uncomplicated for kitchen teams.
