Overview

Waldorf RN8600E-RB 800 Series 900mm Electric Cooktop with Refrigerated Base

The Waldorf RN8600E-RB brings together a six-element 900mm electric radiant cooktop and a fully integrated self-contained refrigerated base into a single 800 Series modular unit, creating a complete cook-and-chill solution within one compact footprint. Built in New Zealand from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel, the unit is engineered to withstand the sustained demands of busy commercial kitchens while keeping mise en place chilled and within arm's reach beneath the cooking surface.

The cooktop delivers six 2.4 kW radiant elements with a combined output of 14.4 kW, each governed by individual energy regulator controls and indicator lights. Below the cooking surface, the refrigerated base runs on a ventilated R134a system with a digital electronic thermostat, automatic defrost, and two GN 1/1 drawers supported on robust European telescopic guides, allowing kitchen teams to cook and store ingredients in the same location and improve service efficiency.

Key Benefits

• Six independently controlled radiant elements provide precise, consistent heat across the full 900mm cooktop width, supporting multiple simultaneous cooking tasks.
• The integrated refrigerated base holds ingredients at -2°C to +8°C directly below the cooking line, cutting travel time and improving mise en place management during service.
• Tropical Climate rated refrigeration maintains safe holding temperatures even in hot, humid commercial kitchen environments.
• Automatic defrost and automatic evaporation of defrost water remove the need for manual defrost routines or a condensate drain connection, reducing maintenance workload.
• All refrigeration components and the condensing unit are front-accessible, making servicing and routine maintenance faster and less disruptive to kitchen operations.
• Vitreous enamelled element modules and hob spill trays are fully removable, and element sections hinge upward for thorough cleaning without requiring any tools.
• Robust European telescopic drawer guides paired with tool-free replaceable magnetic gaskets ensure smooth, reliable drawer operation and straightforward seal replacement.
• Optional hot plate elements featuring a machine-ground 8mm steel cooking surface allow the cooktop configuration to be extended to suit different cooking requirements.
• Suite-matched modular 800 Series design integrates seamlessly with other Waldorf 800 Series sections for flexible kitchen line configurations.
