This heavy-duty commercial hob is designed for busy restaurants, cafés, canteens and production kitchens that need 4 electric boiling plates for frying, boiling, simmering and sautéing. It is a silver Blue Seal cooking appliance with a 600 mm-wide modular format.

Its 4 cast iron hot plates each deliver 2.6kW, giving a total connected load of 10400 W (10.4kW). Individual 6-position controls let cooks adjust each plate separately for simultaneous boiling, frying, simmering or sautéing tasks.

This electrical appliance requires a 400-415V 3-phase supply and has a 22A rating. Installation should be planned around an appropriate commercial electrical connection rather than a standard plug socket.

The bench model measures 315(H) x 600(W) x 812(D)mm, increasing to 485 mm high when the splashback is included. Its net weight is 74kg, so the supporting counter and service position should be assessed before installation.

Its 600 mm modular body is designed to suite with other Blue Seal Evolution Series countertop and freestanding appliances. The bench-mounted model stands on feet, with adjustable rear feet helping to level the hob accurately on the counter.

Yes. It has a 1-piece formed 304 stainless steel hob top with wells that help contain spills, an easy-clean stainless steel exterior and front access to serviceable parts. Its vitreous-enamelled control panel carries large, durable control dials.

The product is the Blue Seal E514S-B 4 plate countertop hob, with product reference UKE514S-B. It includes a 2-year parts and labour warranty.
