Blue Seal G518B-LS Evolution Series 1200mm Gas Cooktop with 600mm Griddle – Leg Stand

The Blue Seal G518B-LS Evolution Series combines a four-burner open cooktop with a 600mm smooth mild steel griddle, all mounted on a purpose-built leg stand for freestanding installation in commercial kitchens. Each open burner delivers 28MJ/hr of output through removable heavy-duty cast iron burners with forged brass caps for consistent flame spread, while two dedicated 20MJ/hr griddle burners provide even, controllable heat across the 595 x 530mm cooking surface. The griddle is positioned on the right-hand side as standard and features push-button piezo ignition for fast, reliable start-up.

Constructed from 304 stainless steel and engineered in New Zealand, the G518B-LS is built to withstand the daily demands of high-volume professional kitchens. Flame failure protection is fitted to all burners as a standard safety measure, and the fully modular design allows the unit to be integrated into a matched suite. The leg stand includes adjustable feet and two additional rollers for flexible positioning and easy manoeuvrability, while a 165mm splashback, suite-matching undershelf, and a framed top for connection to adjacent cooktops round out a practical, kitchen-ready package. Available in Natural Gas or LPG.

Key Benefits

• Four 28MJ/hr open burners deliver high output for fast cooking across a wide range of tasks, from rapid boiling to precise simmering via variable high-to-low controls.
• Two 20MJ/hr dedicated griddle burners provide consistent, even heat across the smooth mild steel griddle surface, ideal for proteins, eggs, and high-volume short-order cooking.
• Flame failure protection on every burner automatically shuts off the gas supply if a flame is extinguished, reducing safety risks in busy kitchen environments.
• Push-button piezo ignition on the griddle allows quick, tool-free start-up without the need for a separate lighter, saving time during service.
• Adjustable feet combined with two additional rollers allow the unit to be levelled precisely on uneven floors and repositioned easily for cleaning or kitchen reconfiguration.
• Removable cast iron burners and vitreous enamel pot stands simplify routine cleaning and maintenance, helping to keep the unit in peak condition with minimal downtime.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs with clear, non-fade markings provide precise heat adjustment and resist the wear of repeated daily use.
• Fully modular construction with a framed top enables side-by-side connection to other Evolution Series units, creating a cohesive matched suite suited to any commercial kitchen layout.
• Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, the unit is built for long service life and compliance with Australian commercial kitchen standards.
