Overview

Blue Seal GE56C Evolution Series 900mm Gas Range Electric Convection Oven

The Blue Seal GE56C Evolution Series is a 900mm commercial range combining a four-burner gas cooktop with a 300mm right-hand griddle over an integrated 2/1 GN electric fan-forced convection oven. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it is built to handle the sustained demands of restaurants, cafés, hotels, catering operations, and high-volume hospitality kitchens.

The gas cooktop delivers four 28MJ/hr open burners and a 20MJ/hr griddle burner, providing rapid heat response across a full range of cooking tasks, while the electric convection oven circulates heat with heavy-duty motors and fans for faster, more even results at lower temperatures. As part of the modular Evolution Series, the GE56C integrates neatly into complete commercial kitchen suites and is available in both Natural Gas and LPG configurations.

Key Benefits

• Fan-forced electric convection oven reduces cooking times and improves thermal consistency compared to static ovens, ideal for roasting, baking, and high-volume food production.
• Four high-output 28MJ/hr open burners deliver rapid heat recovery for boiling, simmering, sautéing, and stockpot work during fast-paced service.
• The 20MJ/hr griddle burner on a 300mm smooth mild steel griddle plate (20mm thick) provides a dedicated surface for searing, grilling, and breakfast cooking without occupying additional floor space.
• Flame failure protection on all burners shuts off gas supply automatically if a flame is extinguished, supporting kitchen safety compliance.
• 2/1 GN oven cavity accommodates full gastronorm trays for multi-level batch cooking, maximising output per cook cycle.
• Adjustable feet and two additional rollers simplify positioning, levelling, and repositioning on the kitchen floor.
• Fully welded and vitreous enamelled oven liner, removable cast iron burners, and vitreous enamel pot stands make cleaning straightforward and reduce downtime between services.
• Cool-touch stainless steel door handle and heavy-duty reinforced control knobs are designed for safe, reliable operation in a demanding commercial environment.
• Modular Evolution Series design allows seamless integration with other Blue Seal units to build a complete, matched kitchen suite.
