Overview

Blue Seal E516S-CB Evolution Series 900mm Electric Cooktop Sealed Hobs - Cabinet Base

The Blue Seal E516S-CB is a 900mm freestanding commercial electric cooktop from the Evolution Series, featuring six sealed cast iron hot plate elements mounted on an integrated cabinet base. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it delivers a total output of 15.6 kW across six independent 2.6 kW cooking zones, making it well suited to high-volume professional kitchens that demand consistent, reliable performance.

The sealed hob design stops spills and food debris from penetrating internal components, significantly reducing cleaning time and maintenance requirements. The cabinet base beneath the cooktop provides enclosed storage for cookware and kitchen essentials, keeping the workspace organised and making efficient use of floor space during busy service periods.

Key Benefits

• Six independent cooking zones allow simultaneous multi-task cooking across a wide range of methods including boiling, simmering and sautéing, improving throughput during peak service.
• Sealed cast iron hot plates prevent spills from entering internal components, reducing deep-cleaning frequency and lowering the risk of damage in demanding, hygiene-focused environments.
• Each element features a six-position heat switch and a dedicated power indicator light, giving chefs precise, visible control over every cooking zone without confusion.
• Thermal protection on each cast iron element guards against overheating, extending equipment life and supporting safer kitchen operations.
• The integrated cabinet base with hinged door provides convenient on-unit storage for pots, pans and accessories, reducing bench clutter and improving kitchen workflow.
• Aluminised steel internal construction combined with a heavy-duty stainless steel exterior delivers long-term durability and resistance to the rigours of a busy commercial kitchen.
• Stainless steel legs with two adjustable feet at the front and two rear rollers make levelling straightforward and allow the unit to be repositioned with minimal effort.
• A 165 mm splashback helps protect surrounding surfaces and walls from spatter, simplifying end-of-service cleaning.
