Overview

Blue Seal E516C-RB Evolution Series 900mm Electric Cooktop with Refrigerated Base

The Blue Seal E516C-RB Evolution Series combines a high-output 900mm electric cooktop with an integrated refrigerated base, delivering a complete cook-and-store solution in a single freestanding unit. The cooktop surface pairs four 2.4kW radiant elements with a 3.4kW right-hand griddle, while the base maintains temperatures from -2°C to +8°C across two GN 1/1 drawer compartments, making it well suited to high-volume commercial kitchens in tropical climates.

Manufactured in New Zealand from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel, the E516C-RB is engineered for the daily rigours of professional catering. Reinforced control knobs, adjustable feet, and two integrated rollers make the unit practical to operate, reposition, and maintain, while a 165mm splashback and straightforward disassembly keep cleaning and servicing quick and efficient.
