Overview

Waldorf RN8606E-RB 800 Series 900mm Electric Cooktop with Refrigerated Base

The Waldorf RN8606E-RB brings together a heavy-duty 900mm electric cooktop and an integrated refrigerated base into a single modular unit, delivering a complete cook-and-store solution within one footprint. The cooktop incorporates two 2.4kW open radiant elements alongside a 600mm griddle driven by two 3.6kW elements, with all construction carried out in 304 stainless steel, a welded hob, and vitreous enamelled spill trays to ensure long-lasting commercial durability.

The self-contained refrigerated base operates across a temperature range of -2°C to +8°C, is tropical climate rated, and runs on R134a refrigerant with automatic defrost and evaporation of defrost water. Beneath the cooking surface, two GN 1/1 drawers provide accessible cold storage, making this unit well suited to high-volume kitchens where bench space and workflow efficiency are critical priorities.

Key Benefits

• Combining cooking and refrigerated storage in a single footprint conserves valuable kitchen space and streamlines cook-line workflow.
• Radiant elements and independently controlled 300mm griddle sections allow simultaneous cooking at different temperatures, improving service speed.
• Tropical climate rated refrigeration holding between -2°C and +8°C keeps ingredients at safe temperatures even in the most demanding kitchen environments.
• Automatic defrost and automatic evaporation of defrost water reduce daily maintenance demands and the need for manual intervention.
• All service access points, including the condensing unit, are reachable from the front of the unit, minimising downtime during maintenance.
• Hinge-up element and griddle sections together with removable vitreous enamelled modules make post-service cleaning fast and thorough.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs fitted with indicator lights for power and heating status give clear, reliable feedback to kitchen staff under pressure.
• Optional hot plate elements fitted with machine-finished 8mm steel plate offer configuration flexibility to accommodate varying menu requirements.
• A 50mm fully foamed CFC-free insulation core and an evaporator with anti-corrosion treatment support energy efficiency and long-term refrigeration reliability.
