Blue Seal G516B-LS Evolution Series 900mm Gas Cooktop with 600mm Griddle – Leg Stand

The Blue Seal G516B-LS Evolution Series combines two high-output 28MJ/hr open burners with a 600mm smooth mild steel griddle powered by two 20MJ/hr burners, all mounted on a freestanding leg stand. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, this 900mm unit delivers a total gas rating of 96MJ/hr (26.6kW), making it a serious workhorse for high-volume commercial kitchens that need both open-flame and griddle cooking on a single platform.

Designed for straightforward operation and lasting durability, the G516B-LS features cast iron burners with forged brass caps for consistent flame spread, vitreous enamel pot stands with extended finger supports for small-pan stability, and push-button piezo ignition on the griddle. Flame failure protection across all burners provides an essential safety layer during peak service, while adjustable feet, two integrated rollers, and a removable component design keep installation, repositioning, and daily cleaning practical for busy kitchen teams.

Key Benefits

• High total heat output of 96MJ/hr (26.6kW) across all four burners lets kitchen teams move through large volumes of service quickly without heat recovery delays.
• Two distinct cooking zones on a single 900mm footprint – open burners for sauce work and searing, griddle for proteins and eggs – reduce the need for additional equipment and free up valuable bench space.
• Flame failure protection on every burner automatically cuts gas supply if a flame is extinguished, protecting staff and reducing gas wastage during busy, distraction-heavy service periods.
• Push-button piezo ignition on the griddle means fast, reliable startup without a separate lighter, keeping prep time to a minimum.
• Extended vitreous enamel pot stand fingers provide added stability when sliding smaller pans across the cooktop surface, reducing the risk of tip-overs.
• Adjustable feet combined with two additional rollers make levelling straightforward on uneven floors and allow the unit to be repositioned easily for cleaning or kitchen reconfiguration.
• Removable cast iron burners and vitreous enamel pot stands simplify daily cleaning and allow individual components to be replaced without retiring the whole unit, lowering long-term maintenance costs.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs with clear, non-fade markings allow precise heat adjustment from high to simmer and withstand constant use without requiring frequent replacement.
• Available in both natural gas and LPG configurations, giving operators flexibility to match their existing gas supply without modifications.
