Overview

Blue Seal G518A-CB Evolution Series 1200mm Gas Cooktop with Cabinet Base

The Blue Seal G518A-CB is a 1200mm wide Evolution Series gas cooktop combining two 28MJ/hr open burners with a 900mm griddle section powered by three 20MJ/hr burners, all mounted on a solid cabinet base. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it is built to withstand the rigours of high-volume commercial kitchen operation and is available in both natural gas and LPG configurations.

The unit features a 20mm thick smooth mild steel griddle plate, push-button piezo ignition on the griddle, and flame failure protection across all burners for safe, reliable service. Heavy-duty cast iron burners with forged brass caps, vitreous enamel pot stands with extended finger supports, and reinforced control knobs with non-fade markings ensure consistent performance and straightforward maintenance. Adjustable feet and two additional rollers allow the unit to be levelled precisely or repositioned with ease, while fully modular construction supports a matched suite finish.

Key Benefits

• Two 28MJ/hr open burners deliver intense, responsive heat to handle large-volume cooking tasks quickly and efficiently.
• Three 20MJ/hr griddle burners provide even, high-output heat across the 900mm griddle surface, supporting simultaneous high-throughput cooking.
• Flame failure protection on every burner automatically cuts gas supply if a flame extinguishes, protecting staff and reducing safety risks.
• Push-button piezo ignition on the griddle enables fast, reliable startup without the need for a separate ignition source.
• Extended vitreous enamel pot stand fingers stabilise smaller cookware and prevent tip-overs during busy service.
• Reinforced control knobs with non-fade markings allow precise heat adjustment from high to simmer and resist the wear of constant daily use.
• Adjustable feet combined with two rollers make levelling straightforward and allow the unit to be repositioned on the floor with minimal effort.
• Fully modular design allows the G518A-CB to be paired with other Evolution Series units for a cohesive, matched suite layout.
• Removable cast iron burners, double-skin stainless steel cabinet interior, and a splashback simplify daily cleaning and routine servicing.
