Overview

Blue Seal E56C Evolution Series 900mm Electric Range Convection Oven

The Blue Seal E56C Evolution Series is a 900mm wide commercial electric range combining a four-element radiant cooktop with a 300mm griddle and a GN 2/1 fan-forced convection oven. Manufactured in New Zealand from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel, it is engineered to handle the sustained demands of high-volume commercial kitchens, cafes, and bakeries requiring versatile, multi-zone cooking in a single freestanding unit.

The cooktop features four 2.4kW open radiant elements offering rapid heat-up and responsive temperature adjustment across six settings plus a simmer setting, while the 3.4kW griddle element (positioned on the right-hand side as standard) provides a 300mm smooth mild steel grilling surface with a 12mm thick plate. The integrated convection oven uses 6.5kW heating elements, heavy-duty motors, and circulation fans to deliver even heat distribution across four rack positions, reducing cooking times and allowing food to be prepared at lower temperatures with consistent results.

Key Benefits

• Fan-forced convection circulates heat evenly across all four rack positions, reducing cooking times and enabling lower-temperature preparation for more consistent baking and roasting outcomes.
• Four open radiant elements with six heat settings plus a simmer setting give chefs precise, responsive control over multiple cooking zones simultaneously, supporting complex multi-dish service.
• GN 2/1 oven capacity accommodates full-size gastronorm trays, streamlining batch cooking and making the unit suitable for high-volume prep in busy kitchens.
• The integrated 300mm griddle with a 12mm thick mild steel plate delivers sustained, even searing heat ideal for proteins, vegetables, and breakfast items without requiring a separate piece of equipment.
• Cast iron sole plates within the oven ensure uniform heat distribution across the oven floor, improving consistency across all cooking modes including static and convection.
• Adjustable feet and two additional rear rollers make installation, repositioning, and routine servicing straightforward without specialist tools.
• The vitreous enamelled, fully welded oven liner resists staining and grease absorption, reducing cleaning time and effort between services.
• Modular design integrates seamlessly with other Blue Seal Evolution Series equipment, allowing kitchens to build out a coordinated cooking suite as needs grow.
• Optional solid hot plate elements provide an alternative cooktop configuration for kitchens that prefer enclosed-plate cooking surfaces over open radiant elements.
