Overview

Blue Seal E516D-RB Evolution Series 900mm Electric Cooktop with Refrigerated Base

The Blue Seal E516D-RB Evolution Series combines a high-output 900mm electric cooktop with an integrated refrigerated base, delivering a practical all-in-one solution for busy commercial kitchens. Six 2.4kW radiant elements provide 14.4kW of total cooking power, each individually governed by energy regulator controls, while the refrigerated base maintains a temperature range of -2°C to +8°C and carries a tropical climate rating for demanding kitchen environments.

Built from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel and manufactured in New Zealand, the E516D-RB is designed for the rigours of daily professional use. Two GN 1/1 drawers with 100mm deep pan capacity sit beneath the cooktop, offering immediately accessible cold storage at the point of cooking. Adjustable feet and two additional rollers make positioning and repositioning straightforward, and the unit is engineered throughout for easy cleaning, installation, and servicing.

Key Benefits

• Combined cooktop and refrigerated base reduces the kitchen footprint while keeping cold ingredients within arm's reach of the cooking surface.
• Six independently controlled 2.4kW radiant elements allow multiple dishes to be prepared simultaneously at different heat settings, improving throughput during service.
• Tropical climate-rated refrigeration maintains a stable -2°C to +8°C regardless of the ambient heat generated in a commercial kitchen environment.
• Two GN 1/1 drawer compartments with 100mm deep pans provide organised, hygienically separated cold storage directly below the cooking zone.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs with clear markings deliver precise, repeatable heat adjustments and resist the wear of continuous daily use.
• Adjustable feet and two integrated rollers allow the unit to be levelled accurately on uneven floors and relocated with minimal effort during a clean-down.
• Optional solid hot plate elements can replace radiant elements to suit different cooking styles without requiring a separate piece of equipment.
• Straightforward access for cleaning and servicing minimises downtime and helps maintain food safety compliance across a busy kitchen operation.
