Blue Seal G518B-CB Evolution Series 1200mm Gas Cooktop – Cabinet Base

The Blue Seal G518B-CB Evolution Series combines four high-output open burners with a 600mm smooth mild steel griddle, all mounted on a sturdy cabinet base, delivering a total gas rating of 152 MJ/hr (42.2 kW) for demanding commercial kitchen environments. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it is available in both natural gas and LPG configurations and is designed to integrate seamlessly into a fully modular suite.

Built for reliability and ease of daily operation, the G518B-CB features flame failure protection on every burner, push-button piezo ignition on the griddle, and removable cast iron burners with vitreous enamel pot stands for straightforward cleaning and maintenance. The cabinet base is constructed with a double-skin 304 stainless steel interior and exterior, providing a professional finish that withstands the rigours of continuous commercial use.

Key Benefits

• Four 28 MJ/hr open burners deliver intense, responsive heat so large-volume cooking tasks are completed faster during peak service.
• Two 20 MJ/hr griddle burners supply powerful, even heat across the 600mm smooth mild steel griddle surface, ideal for high-throughput breakfast and grill service.
• Flame failure protection on all burners automatically cuts gas flow if a flame is extinguished, reducing safety risks in a busy kitchen.
• Push-button piezo ignition on the griddle enables fast, reliable startup without the need for a separate lighter or match.
• Extended finger supports on the vitreous enamel pot stands allow smaller pans to be slid across the cooking surface without tipping, improving workflow efficiency.
• Adjustable feet combined with two additional rollers make it simple to level the unit on uneven floors and to move it for cleaning or servicing.
• Fully modular design allows the G518B-CB to be positioned alongside other Evolution Series equipment for a matched, professional suite appearance.
• Removable cast iron burners and a double-skin stainless steel cabinet interior simplify daily cleaning and routine service, reducing downtime.
• Robust, non-fade control knobs with strengthened shaft sleeves provide precise heat adjustment from high to low simmer and resist wear over years of heavy use.
