Blue Seal G516D-CB Evolution Series 900mm Gas Cooktop with Cabinet Base

The Blue Seal G516D-CB is a 900mm commercial gas cooktop from the Evolution Series, mounted on a fully enclosed stainless steel cabinet base with a single hinged door. Designed and manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it delivers a total output of 168MJ/hr across six open burners, making it well suited to high-volume restaurants, cafés, hotels, pubs, and institutional kitchens where consistent cooking power and durable construction are non-negotiable.

Each burner features a heavy-duty cast iron body with a forged brass cap for consistent flame spread and a non-clogging design, paired with thick vitreous enamel pot stands that include extended finger supports to stabilise smaller pans during busy service. Flame failure protection on every burner, reinforced heat-resistant control knobs, removable spill trays, adjustable stainless steel feet, and two rear rollers combine to make the G516D-CB straightforward to operate, clean, and service in demanding commercial kitchen environments. As a modular unit it integrates directly into complete Blue Seal Evolution Series kitchen suites.

Key Benefits

• Six 28MJ/hr open burners deliver a total 168MJ/hr of cooking power, enabling rapid boiling, sautéing, simmering, and stockpot work across all positions simultaneously.
• Forged brass burner caps promote even, consistent flame spread across the cooking zone, reducing hot spots and improving heat control from high to gentle simmer.
• Extended finger supports on the vitreous enamel pot stands add stability for smaller pots and pans, reducing tip-over risk during fast-paced service.
• Flame failure protection on every burner automatically cuts gas flow if a flame is extinguished, improving safety for kitchen staff.
• The enclosed cabinet base with hinged door provides valuable underbench storage for cookware, trays, and utensils, keeping the workspace organised and improving service efficiency.
• Adjustable stainless steel feet and two rear rollers make positioning and levelling straightforward, and allow easy repositioning for cleaning or maintenance.
• Removable cast iron burners, vitreous enamel pot stands, and stainless steel spill trays simplify daily cleaning and reduce downtime between services.
• Available in both natural gas and LPG configurations, offering flexibility for different site gas supplies without compromising performance.
• Modular 900mm footprint aligns with other Blue Seal Evolution Series units, allowing a coherent, space-efficient commercial kitchen suite to be assembled to suit any layout.
