Blue Seal G518D-CB Evolution Series 1200mm Gas Cooktop – Cabinet Base

The Blue Seal G518D-CB Evolution Series 1200mm Gas Cooktop on Cabinet Base delivers serious cooking capacity for high-volume commercial kitchens. Eight open burners each rated at 28MJ/hr provide a combined output of 224MJ/hr, giving chefs the firepower to handle large services with confidence. Built in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, the unit is engineered to withstand the daily punishment of professional kitchen environments while remaining straightforward to clean, install and service.

Heavy-duty cast iron burners fitted with forged brass caps ensure consistent flame spread and long-term durability, while vitreous enamel pot stands with extended finger supports create a stable, uniform cooking surface that allows smaller pots and pans to be moved freely without risk of tip-over. Flame failure protection on every burner adds an essential layer of safety, and the combination of adjustable feet and two additional rollers means the unit can be levelled precisely and repositioned with minimal effort.

Key Benefits

• Eight 28MJ/hr open burners deliver a total output of 224MJ/hr, enabling fast heat recovery and simultaneous high-capacity cooking across the full 1200mm surface.
• Flame failure protection on all burners automatically cuts gas if a flame is extinguished, protecting kitchen staff and complying with commercial safety requirements.
• Thicker vitreous enamel trivets with extended finger supports provide a consistent, stable cooking platform, reducing the risk of small pan tip-overs during busy service.
• Removable cast iron burners and pot stands simplify daily cleaning and allow components to be pulled out quickly for maintenance without specialist tools.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs with non-fade markings allow precise heat adjustment from full power down to a gentle simmer, reducing the need for frequent knob replacement.
• Adjustable feet keep the unit level on uneven floors, while two integrated rollers make it easy to move the cooktop for cleaning behind and underneath.
• Compatible with 300, 450, 600, 900 and 1200mm griddle plates in smooth or ribbed mild steel, giving the suite versatility beyond open-burner cooking.
• Available in both Natural Gas and LPG configurations, making it suitable for a wide range of commercial kitchen setups.
• New Zealand manufactured with a 304 stainless steel construction, ensuring a professional appearance that resists corrosion and holds up to heavy daily use.
