  • Practical Power: The blend of hobs and  griddle is perfect for a varied menu.
  • Hefty Unit: At 113kg, you'll need to plan its installation and  positioning carefully.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, needed to consolidate their cooking line. Their old separate hob and  griddle setup was inefficient and  took up too much valuable space in their compact kitchen.

"We were constantly running between stations. The Blue Seal E516C-LS brought our main cooking processes into one place. It's solid, heats up incredibly fast, and  the griddle gives a fantastic sear. It's made service so much smoother."

Robert Evans – Head Chef

By installing the new unit, the bistro streamlined its cooking process, allowing them to expand their grill menu and  cut average ticket times by over 10% during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit must be installed by a qualified commercial electrician due to its 3-phase power requirement.
  • Use the adjustable front legs to ensure the cooktop is perfectly level and  stable on your floor.
  • Always leave adequate ventilation space around the unit as specified in the manufacturer's manual.
  • Before the first use, be sure to season the griddle plate with oil to create a non-stick surface.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a soft cloth and  food-safe cleaner.
  • Clean the griddle surface while it's still warm using a griddle scraper and  appropriate cleaning pads.
  • Regularly check and  empty the grease collection tray to prevent overflow and  maintain hygiene.
  • Avoid using harsh abrasives or scourers on the surfaces to prevent scratching.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Cooktop

Not sure what fits your kitchen best? Here are a few things to think about before you commit.

Size & Footprint

Measure your space! A 900mm electric cooktop like this Blue Seal is a standard size, but always double-check your extraction canopy and  surrounding clearances.

Functionality First

Do you need just hobs, or will a combination unit like a commercial electric cooktop with griddle save you valuable space and  money on a separate appliance?

Check Your Power

This is a big one. High-power units like this often need a three-phase supply. Confirm your kitchen's electrical setup with an electrician before you buy.

Cleaning Considerations

Look for features like a stainless steel finish and  sealed hobs. They make the end-of-night cleanup routine much quicker and  easier for your staff.

Build Quality

A busy kitchen is a tough environment. Heavy-duty knobs and  a solid frame, like those on the Blue Seal Evolution series cooktop, will withstand daily punishment.

How Radiant Elements Give You Perfect Control

Ever wondered what makes radiant elements different from a basic electric ring? It's all about control. Instead of just being 'on' or 'off', radiant elements, paired with energy regulators, pulse the power to maintain a steady temperature. Think of it like a car's cruise control for your pans. Rather than just flooring it or braking, it cleverly applies just enough power to hold the exact temperature you've set. This means no more burnt sauces, pans boiling over, or hot spots – just consistent, even heat you can rely on, whether you're holding a delicate hollandaise or flash-frying ingredients.
