Blue Seal GE508C Evolution Series 1200mm Gas Range Electric Static Oven

The Blue Seal GE508C Evolution Series is a 1200mm commercial gas range with an integrated 2/1 GN electric static oven, purpose-built for high-volume restaurant, café, hotel, and catering kitchen environments. The cooktop features six 28MJ/hr open burners alongside a right-hand 300mm smooth mild steel griddle driven by a dedicated 20MJ/hr burner, producing a total gas rating of 188MJ/hr and 52.2kW, while the electric static oven delivers accurate, even heat for roasting, baking, reheating, and batch cooking across the full gastronorm tray format.

Manufactured in New Zealand from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel, the GE508C is engineered for durability and straightforward maintenance in demanding commercial service. The unit's removable cast iron burner assemblies feature individually forged brass caps sitting atop enamelled cast iron pot stands, a fully welded and vitreous enamelled oven liner, safety flame failure devices on every burner, and reinforced control knobs, all combining to produce a cooking suite that is reliable, hygienic, and easy to clean. Its modular Evolution Series architecture means it slots neatly into a complete professional kitchen line-up alongside other Blue Seal units.

Key Benefits

• Six high-output 28MJ/hr open burners deliver rapid heat recovery and precise flame control to handle the full spectrum of cooktop tasks, from bringing large stockpots to the boil and holding a gentle simmer through to sautéing, pan-frying, and stir-frying.
• The dedicated 20MJ/hr right-hand griddle broadens cooking versatility without requiring a separate appliance, supporting uninterrupted breakfast-through-dinner service on a single unit.
• Independent oven temperature and top heat power regulation controls allow chefs to fine-tune the electric static oven separately, improving precision for delicate bakes and roasts.
• A 2/1 GN oven cavity accommodates full gastronorm trays for efficient batch cooking and flexible menu production, reducing turnaround time during peak service periods.
• Safety flame failure devices fitted to every burner automatically shut off gas supply if a flame goes out, meeting the safety demands of busy commercial kitchens.
• Adjustable stainless steel feet combined with two rear rollers simplify positioning, levelling, and routine cleaning access beneath and behind the unit.
• Removable cast iron burner components, enamelled pot stands, and the welded enamel oven liner all minimise cleaning time and support consistent hygiene standards.
• A cool-touch stainless steel door handle and a drop-down oven door with welded frame allow safe, easy oven access throughout continuous service.
• The GE508C is designed within the modular Evolution Series framework, making it straightforward to combine with additional Blue Seal appliances when building out a matched commercial kitchen suite.
