Overview

Blue Seal GE56A Evolution Series 900mm Gas Range Electric Convection Oven

The Blue Seal GE56A Evolution Series pairs a full-width 900mm thermostatic gas griddle with an integrated 2/1 GN electric convection oven, forming a versatile high-capacity cooking solution suited to restaurants, cafes, hotels and catering operations. Three 20MJ/hr griddle burners drive a 20mm heavy-duty smooth mild steel plate, while the fan-forced convection oven circulates heat evenly throughout the cavity for consistent roasting, baking, reheating and batch cooking across peak service periods.

Manufactured in New Zealand from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel, the GE56A is built to withstand demanding commercial environments. Practical features include flame failure protection, a fully welded vitreous enamel oven liner, a drop-down door with welded frame, and a cool-touch stainless steel handle. The unit belongs to the modular Evolution Series range, allowing it to be combined with other Blue Seal components to form a complete professional kitchen suite, and it is available in both Natural Gas and LPG configurations.

Key Benefits

• Fan-forced convection heat circulation reduces cooking times and delivers consistent results across the full oven cavity, maximising kitchen throughput during busy service.
• The full-width 900mm griddle surface provides ample cooking area for high-volume breakfast service, burgers, steaks, eggs, seafood and à la carte production simultaneously.
• Thermostatic griddle control across a 50–320°C range allows precise temperature management, reducing the risk of overcooking and improving consistency across different menu items.
• Flame failure protection on all burners enhances kitchen safety by automatically cutting the gas supply if a flame is extinguished.
• Cast iron burners that can be lifted out for cleaning, together with vitreous enamel pot stands, make routine maintenance faster and easier, reducing downtime between services.
• Adjustable feet and two additional rear rollers simplify positioning, levelling and repositioning of the unit within the kitchen.
• The modular Evolution Series design allows the GE56A to be paired with other Blue Seal components, giving operators the flexibility to build out a complete cooking suite.
• Availability in Natural Gas or LPG makes the unit suitable for a wide range of commercial kitchen infrastructure setups.
