Overview

Blue Seal GE58C Evolution Series 1200mm Gas Range Electric Convection Oven

The Blue Seal GE58C Evolution Series is a 1200mm commercial gas range combining a six-burner cooktop, a 300mm right-hand griddle, and an integrated 2/1 GN electric convection oven into a single, heavy-duty freestanding unit. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it is purpose-built for high-volume commercial kitchens including restaurants, cafes, hotels, and catering operations that demand reliable, versatile cooking performance across multiple cooking methods simultaneously.

The cooktop delivers 6 x 28MJ/hr open burners and a 1 x 20MJ/hr griddle burner, with flame failure protection throughout for safety during continuous service. Below, the fan-forced electric convection oven circulates heat evenly across the 2/1 GN cavity, reducing cooking times and enabling lower-temperature cooking compared to conventional static ovens. Cast iron sole plates, a fully welded vitreous enamel oven liner, heavy-duty motors, and reinforced control knobs reflect the durability expected in demanding commercial environments. The unit is available in Natural Gas or LPG configurations.

Key Benefits

• Six high-output open burners with rapid heat recovery keep multiple pots and pans at precise temperatures simultaneously, supporting fast-paced service periods.
• The integrated 300mm right-hand griddle with its own dedicated 20MJ/hr burner adds a versatile flat-cooking surface without requiring additional floor space.
• Fan-forced convection heat circulation in the 2/1 GN oven shortens cooking times and improves thermal consistency across trays, boosting batch cooking productivity.
• Flame failure protection on all burners automatically cuts gas flow if a flame is extinguished, reducing safety risk in busy kitchen environments.
• Removable cast iron burners, vitreous enamel pot stands, and vitreous enamel oven liner simplify post-service cleaning and routine maintenance.
• Adjustable feet with two rear rollers make levelling straightforward and allow the unit to be repositioned for cleaning or servicing without heavy lifting.
• The storage cabinet on the right-hand side provides convenient on-range storage for trays, pans, and kitchen tools, keeping frequently used items close at hand.
• Compatibility with the modular Blue Seal Evolution Series allows the GE58C to integrate seamlessly into a complete matched kitchen suite.
• Dual gas type availability (Natural Gas or LPG) makes the unit suitable for a wide range of commercial kitchen configurations and building gas supply types.
