Blue Seal G516D-B Evolution Series 900mm Gas Cooktop - Bench Model

The Blue Seal G516D-B is a 900mm six-burner commercial gas cooktop from the Evolution Series, built in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel for demanding restaurant, café, hotel, and catering kitchen environments. Six open burners each deliver 28MJ/hr of output, totalling 168MJ/hr across the cooktop, providing rapid heat-up and precise flame control for everything from high-heat searing and boiling to gentle simmering.

Engineered as a bench model, the G516D-B sits on four adjustable stainless steel legs with two rear rollers, allowing flexible placement on workbenches, chef bases, or within a modular Blue Seal Evolution Series cooking suite. Flame failure protection on every burner, removable cast iron burner components, stainless steel spill trays, and a 165mm rear splashback all contribute to a cooktop that is as straightforward to clean and service as it is to operate.

Key Benefits

• Six 28MJ/hr open burners deliver a combined 168MJ/hr, giving chefs the heat output needed to power through high-volume service quickly.
• Flame failure protection on all six burners automatically cuts gas supply if a flame is extinguished, improving kitchen safety during busy periods.
• Heavy-duty cast iron burners with forged brass caps produce a consistent, non-clogging flame spread for reliable heat distribution across all cookware.
• Thick vitreous enamel pot stands with extended finger supports create a more uniform cooking surface, letting staff slide smaller pots and pans without risk of tip-overs.
• Adjustable stainless steel feet and two rear rollers allow easy repositioning and precise levelling on uneven kitchen floors.
• Removable burners, spill covers, and stainless steel spill trays make cleaning faster and reduce downtime between services.
• Reinforced, heat-resistant control knobs with clear, non-fade markings enable precise heat adjustment from maximum output down to a low simmer.
• Modular Evolution Series design integrates seamlessly with other Blue Seal 900mm cooking equipment to build a complete, matched cooking line.
• Available in both Natural Gas and LPG configurations, offering installation flexibility across a wide range of commercial kitchen setups.
