Blue Seal G518A-LS Evolution Series 1200mm Gas Cooktop with 900mm Griddle on Leg Stand

The Blue Seal G518A-LS is a heavy-duty 1200mm combination gas cooktop and 900mm griddle unit from the Evolution Series, mounted on a stainless steel leg stand for freestanding use in professional commercial kitchens. It combines two high-output 28MJ/hr open burners with three 20MJ/hr griddle burners, delivering a total gas rating of 116MJ/hr (32.2kW) across a versatile cooking surface suited to high-volume service. Available in both Natural Gas and LPG configurations, it is manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel.

Designed with operator safety and ease of maintenance at the forefront, every burner is fitted with flame failure protection, while the griddle features push-button piezo ignition for quick, reliable start-up. Removable cast iron burners, vitreous enamel pot stands, a framed top for suite connection, and a fully modular design make this unit straightforward to clean, service, and integrate into a matched cooking suite. Four stainless steel bench legs with adjustable feet and two additional rollers provide stable placement and convenient repositioning.

Key Benefits

• High total output of 116MJ/hr across five burners supports fast, simultaneous cooking across both open-flame and griddle surfaces during peak service.
• Flame failure protection on all burners automatically shuts off the gas supply if a flame is extinguished, reducing safety risk in a busy kitchen environment.
• Push-button piezo ignition on the griddle allows quick, tool-free start-up without the need for a separate lighter or match.
• Removable cast iron burners simplify deep cleaning and allow individual components to be pulled out for inspection or replacement without specialist tools.
• Vitreous enamel pot stands resist staining and corrosion while providing a smooth surface that wipes down quickly between services.
• Adjustable feet and two built-in rollers let operators level the unit on uneven floors and reposition it easily for cleaning or reconfiguration.
• Fully modular construction with a framed top allows this unit to connect flush with other Evolution Series equipment for a matched, professional suite layout.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs withstand repeated, forceful use in demanding commercial conditions without loosening or degrading.
• Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel with a 20mm smooth mild steel griddle plate, the unit is built for long-term durability and consistent performance.
