Overview

Blue Seal GE56B Evolution Series 900mm Gas Range Electric Convection Oven

The Blue Seal GE56B Evolution Series is a 900mm freestanding commercial cooking suite combining a two-burner gas cooktop with a 600mm thermostatic griddle above an integrated 2/1 GN electric convection oven. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it delivers flexible multi-zone cooking capacity suited to restaurants, cafes, hotels, catering operations and high-volume hospitality kitchens.

The cooktop section provides 2 x 28MJ/hr open burners and 2 x 20MJ/hr griddle burners, covering everything from rapid boiling and sautéing through to breakfast grilling and batch frying. Below, the fan-forced electric convection oven circulates heat evenly across a full 2/1 GN cavity, accelerating cooking times and delivering consistent results for roasting, baking and reheating. As part of the modular Evolution Series, the GE56B integrates seamlessly into a complete professional kitchen suite.

Key Benefits

• Fan-forced convection oven circulation produces faster, more even cooking results across the full 2/1 GN cavity, reducing peak-service pressure and improving throughput.
• Dual cooking zones on the cooktop (open burners plus a 600mm griddle) allow simultaneous preparation of multiple menu items, maximising kitchen efficiency.
• Flame failure protection on every burner enhances kitchen safety and complies with commercial gas appliance requirements.
• Removable cast iron burners and vitreous enamel pot stands simplify daily cleaning and reduce maintenance downtime.
• Thermostatic griddle control across a 50-320°C range gives chefs precise, repeatable temperature management for consistent food quality.
• Adjustable feet and two rear rollers make installation straightforward and allow the unit to be repositioned easily for cleaning or reconfiguration.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs and a fully welded, vitreous enamelled oven liner ensure long-term durability under continuous commercial use.
• Available in both Natural Gas and LPG configurations, providing flexibility across different site requirements.
