Blue Seal G516B-RB Evolution Series 900mm Gas Cooktop with Refrigerated Base

The Blue Seal G516B-RB Evolution Series combines a 900mm gas cooktop with an integrated refrigerated base, giving commercial kitchen teams a compact, high-output cooking and cold storage solution in a single 900mm footprint. The cooktop features two 28MJ/hr open burners and a 600mm smooth mild steel griddle powered by two 20MJ/hr burners, delivering a combined gas rating of 96MJ/hr (26.6kW), while the refrigerated base holds ingredients between -2°C and +8°C directly beneath the cooking surface.

Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, the G516B-RB is engineered for the demands of busy commercial kitchens. The griddle is positioned on the right-hand side as standard, flame failure protection is fitted to all burners, and the refrigerated base includes a digital electronic thermostat, automatic defrost, and automatic evaporation of defrost water. The unit is available in natural gas or LPG configurations and connects via a 3/4 inch BSP male fitting.

Key Benefits

• Saves valuable floor space by integrating high-output gas cooking with chilled ingredient storage in a single 900mm unit, streamlining kitchen workflow.
• A combined gas output of 96MJ/hr (26.6kW) across four burners supports rapid, high-volume cooking across both open burners and the griddle simultaneously.
• Chilled ingredient storage at -2°C to +8°C directly beneath the cooking surface reduces travel time and keeps prep ingredients at safe temperatures throughout service.
• Flame failure protection on all burners automatically shuts off the gas supply if a flame is extinguished, reducing safety risk during busy service periods.
• Push-button piezo ignition on the griddle allows fast, reliable startup without the need for a separate ignition source.
• Adjustable feet and two additional rollers make it straightforward to level the unit on uneven floors and reposition it during cleaning or kitchen reconfiguration.
• Removable cast iron burners and vitreous enamel pot stands simplify cleaning and are built to withstand repeated heavy use.
• Automatic defrost and automatic evaporation of defrost water in the refrigerated base reduce manual maintenance tasks and minimise water management during service.
• Available in both natural gas and LPG, making it suitable for a wide range of commercial kitchen installations.
