Blue Seal G516C-LS Evolution Series 900mm Gas Cooktop with 300mm Griddle on Leg Stand

The Blue Seal G516C-LS is a heavy-duty 900mm gas cooktop from the Evolution Series, combining four high-output open burners with a 300mm smooth mild steel griddle, all mounted on a freestanding leg stand. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it is engineered to handle the demands of busy commercial kitchens, delivering a total combined gas rating of 132 MJ/hr (36.6 kW) across all cooking zones.

Designed with both performance and practicality in mind, the G516C-LS features flame failure protection on every burner, push-button piezo ignition on the griddle, and removable cast iron burners with vitreous enamel pot stands for straightforward cleaning and servicing. Adjustable feet and two additional rollers allow flexible positioning on the kitchen floor, while the 165mm splashback and suite-matching undershelf support integration into a modular Evolution Series kitchen configuration. Available in Natural Gas or LPG.

Key Benefits

• Four 28 MJ/hr open burners deliver a total of 112 MJ/hr of cooking power, enabling rapid boiling and high-heat frying to keep up with peak service demands.
• The integrated 300mm smooth mild steel griddle with its dedicated 20 MJ/hr burner expands cooking versatility, handling eggs, proteins and vegetables simultaneously alongside the open burners.
• Flame failure protection on all burners automatically cuts the gas supply if a flame is extinguished, reducing safety risks during unattended or high-volume cooking.
• Push-button piezo ignition on the griddle allows fast, tool-free startup without the need for a separate lighter, saving time during busy service.
• Removable cast iron burners and vitreous enamel pot stands simplify daily cleaning and resist the wear of continuous commercial use.
• Extended pot support fingers on the vitreous enamel trivets provide added stability for smaller pans and pots, reducing the risk of tip-overs during fast-paced cooking.
• Adjustable feet combined with two additional rollers make it easy to level the unit on uneven surfaces and reposition it for cleaning or reconfiguration.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs with clear, non-fade markings allow precise heat adjustment from high to low simmer, withstanding the rigours of daily chef use.
