Blue Seal G516A-RB Evolution Series 900mm Gas Cooktop with Refrigerated Base

The Blue Seal G516A-RB Evolution Series combines a 900mm gas griddle cooktop with a refrigerated base unit, delivering a compact, high-output cooking and cold-storage solution purpose-built for busy commercial kitchens. Constructed from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel and manufactured in New Zealand, this freestanding unit provides six burners across the griddle deck alongside a two-drawer refrigerated base, consolidating prep, cooking, and ingredient storage into a single 900mm footprint.

The griddle section features three 20MJ/hr burners with push-button piezo ignition and flame failure protection on every burner, while the refrigerated base operates on a ventilated R134a refrigeration system with automatic defrost and digital electronic thermostat control. Available in both Natural Gas and LPG configurations, the G516A-RB is designed for straightforward installation, easy daily cleaning, and reliable service performance across demanding kitchen environments.
