Blue Seal G518C-CB Evolution Series 1200mm Gas Cooktop with Cabinet Base

The Blue Seal G518C-CB Evolution Series combines six high-output open burners with a 300mm smooth mild steel griddle plate, all mounted on a robust stainless steel cabinet base. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, this freestanding unit is built to handle the relentless demands of professional commercial kitchens, delivering a total gas rating of 188 MJ/hr (52.2 kW) across both cooking surfaces.

Designed with practical kitchen workflow in mind, the G518C-CB features flame failure protection on every burner, push-button piezo ignition on the griddle, and heavy-duty cast iron burners with vitreous enamel pot stands that resist daily punishment and clean up quickly. Adjustable feet and two additional rollers make levelling and repositioning straightforward, while a fully modular design allows the unit to be matched within a suite of Blue Seal Evolution Series equipment.

Key Benefits

• Six 28 MJ/hr open burners deliver exceptional heat output, allowing large-volume cooking tasks to be completed faster across the full high-to-low heat range.
• The 300mm smooth mild steel griddle on the right-hand side provides a versatile secondary cooking surface ideal for proteins, eggs and breakfast items alongside burner cooking.
• Flame failure protection on all burners automatically cuts gas if a flame is extinguished, reducing risk in a busy kitchen environment.
• Push-button piezo ignition on the griddle enables quick, reliable startup without needing a separate lighter or match.
• Extended pot support fingers on the heavy-duty vitreous enamel trivets allow smaller pans and pots to be slid across the cooktop surface without tipping, improving safety and speed.
• Adjustable feet combined with two additional rollers make it easy to level the unit on uneven floors and reposition it for cleaning or service without heavy lifting.
• Fully modular construction allows the G518C-CB to be matched alongside other Evolution Series equipment for a consistent, professional suite finish.
• Removable cast iron burners, vitreous enamel pot stands and a double-skin stainless steel cabinet interior simplify daily cleaning and routine maintenance.
• Compatible with both natural gas and LPG, giving operators flexibility across different site configurations.
