Waldorf RN8606E-B 800 Series 900mm Electric Cooktop with 600mm Griddle – Bench Model

The Waldorf RN8606E-B is part of the renowned 800 Series and combines a 2-burner radiant element cooktop with a 600mm griddle plate on a single 900mm bench-mounted unit, making it an efficient and versatile solution for busy commercial kitchens. The cooktop section delivers 2 x 2.4kW radiant elements while the griddle section runs on 2 x 3.6kW elements, with the griddle positioned on the right-hand side as standard, and the unit is rated at 20A for straightforward electrical installation.

Constructed to handle the demands of professional foodservice environments, the RN8606E-B features a heavy-duty 304 stainless steel finish throughout, vitreous enamelled element modules and hob spill trays, and 12mm thick mild steel griddle plates for consistent, even heat retention. Bench legs with adjustable feet and two additional rollers allow flexible positioning, while hinge-up element and griddle sections together with front-access servicing keep maintenance quick and straightforward.

Key Benefits

• Combines radiant element cooking and a flat griddle in one 900mm footprint, reducing the need for separate appliances and saving valuable bench space.
• Six temperature settings plus a simmer setting on both cooktop and griddle zones give chefs precise control from gentle simmering through to high-heat searing.
• Per-300mm griddle section thermostats ranging from 50 to 320°C allow different griddle zones to be set independently, supporting simultaneous cooking of varied menu items.

• Adjustable bench legs (80–105mm height range) combined with two additional rollers allow the unit to be levelled precisely and repositioned without heavy lifting.
• Optional hot plate elements with machine-finished 8mm steel plates provide an upgrade path to expanded cooking capability without replacing the entire unit.
