Blue Seal G504C Gas Range with Griddle and Static Oven

The Blue Seal G504C is a heavy-duty gas range combining two open burners with a 300mm griddle plate on a welded steel hob, alongside a thermostatically controlled static oven below. It runs on either natural gas or LPG, making it a practical option for sites where mains gas supply isn't guaranteed. The oven uses piezo ignition with flame failure protection, and reaches temperatures suitable for a wide range of cooking applications.

In a working kitchen environment, this range is built to hold up under sustained daily use. The cast iron burners and forged brass caps are standard Blue Seal construction choices that have proven reliable across many commercial installations. The griddle sits alongside the open burners rather than replacing them, which gives the cook flexibility without needing a second piece of equipment to handle flat-top cooking. The static oven beneath handles roasting and baking workloads, though it won't replicate the airflow consistency of a convection oven — something worth considering if uniform baking output is critical.

From a practical standpoint, several design decisions reflect real kitchen priorities:

• Enamelled spill covers and lift-off plates simplify end-of-service cleaning
• Cast iron pot stands provide stable support across pan sizes
• Front heavy-duty legs and rear castors allow repositioning without full disassembly
• Stainless steel construction throughout supports longevity in demanding environments
• Compatibility with both LPG and natural gas reduces site-specific ordering risk

Installation requires a gas supply appropriately sized for the burner load, and the unit should be positioned with adequate clearance to surrounding structures. It arrives with castors to the rear, which helps with alignment during fit-out, but you should confirm floor loadings and whether your ventilation canopy covers the full footprint of the hob and griddle. One wire rack is supplied with the static oven.

This range is well suited to small to mid-sized commercial kitchens — cafés, small restaurants, pubs, and catering operations where versatile hob and griddle cooking is needed from a single unit. The two-burner configuration won't suit high-volume operations needing six or more burners across a single station, but for a secondary cooking position or a smaller kitchen with moderate throughput, it covers a lot of ground efficiently. For kitchens needing greater burner count or a larger griddle surface, wider range options are available in the Blue Seal catalogue.

If you're weighing this up against other configurations or want to confirm it's the right fit for your setup, our team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit.
