Overview

Blue Seal G516D-RB Evolution Series 900mm Gas Cooktop with Refrigerated Base

The Blue Seal G516D-RB Evolution Series combines a high-output 900mm gas cooktop with an integrated refrigerated base, making it a compact, all-in-one solution for busy commercial kitchens. Six open burners deliver a combined output of 168MJ/hr (46.6kW), while the refrigerated drawer base keeps ingredients chilled and within arm's reach, streamlining food preparation and service workflows. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, the unit is built to withstand the rigorous demands of professional catering environments.

Every detail of the G516D-RB is engineered for durability, safety and ease of use. Flame failure protection on all burners automatically cuts the gas supply if a flame is extinguished, while heavy-duty cast iron burners with forged brass caps and vitreous enamel pot stands provide consistent heat spread and long-term resilience. The refrigerated base features a digital electronic thermostat, automatic defrost, and automatic evaporation of defrost water, maintaining a temperature range of -2°C to +8°C for safe ingredient storage directly beneath the cooking surface.

Key Benefits

• Six 28MJ/hr open burners deliver a total of 168MJ/hr, providing ample heat output to handle high-volume cooking simultaneously across multiple pots and pans.
• Integrated refrigerated base keeps perishable ingredients at safe temperatures right at the point of use, reducing travel time and improving service speed.
• Flame failure protection on every burner automatically shuts off the gas supply if a flame goes out, reducing the risk of gas leaks and improving kitchen safety.
• Extended vitreous enamel pot stand fingers provide added stability for smaller pots and pans, reducing the risk of tip-overs during busy service periods.
• Digital electronic thermostat with a -2°C to +8°C range allows precise temperature control for the refrigerated base, supporting food safety compliance.
• Automatic defrost and automatic evaporation of defrost water minimise maintenance tasks and keep the refrigerated base operating efficiently without manual intervention.
• Adjustable feet and two additional rollers allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors and repositioned easily during cleaning or kitchen reconfiguration.
• Removable cast iron burners and heavy-duty reinforced control knobs with non-fade markings simplify routine cleaning, servicing and component replacement.
• Available in both natural gas and LPG configurations, giving operators flexibility to match the unit to their existing gas supply infrastructure.
