Overview

Waldorf RN8609E-LS 800 Series 900mm Electric Cooktop with Leg Stand

The Waldorf RN8609E-LS is a 900mm electric cooktop from the 800 Series, mounted on a matching leg stand and designed for the rigours of high-volume commercial kitchens. The cooktop features a full-width 900mm griddle surface powered by three 3.6kW elements, each governing a dedicated 300mm section with its own 50–320°C thermostat, giving chefs precise, independent temperature control across the entire cooking surface. A simmer setting and six temperature positions per zone make the unit equally suited to delicate sauces and high-heat searing.

Construction centres on 304 stainless steel throughout, with a welded 1.5mm bull-nose hob, 2.5mm griddle splash guards, and 12mm mild steel griddle plates built to withstand continuous commercial use. The leg stand is fully modular for a matched suite finish, assembles without tools, and includes 63mm diameter stainless steel legs with adjustable feet plus two additional rollers for easy repositioning. All service points are accessible from the front of the unit, removable vitreous enamelled spill trays and hinge-up sections simplify cleaning, and optional hot plate elements extend the unit's versatility.

Key Benefits

• Independent temperature control across three 300mm griddle zones allows different foods to be cooked simultaneously at different heat levels, improving kitchen efficiency.
• The 50–320°C thermostat range per section supports everything from gentle simmering to high-heat searing on the same surface.
• 12mm mild steel griddle plates retain and distribute heat evenly, reducing hot spots and delivering consistent cooking results during peak service.
• Front-only service access means maintenance and cleaning can be performed without moving the unit or dismantling the surrounding suite.
• Hinge-up element and griddle sections combined with removable vitreous enamelled spill trays make end-of-service cleaning fast and thorough.
• Tool-free quick-assembly leg stand reduces installation time and simplifies reconfiguration when kitchen layouts change.
• Two additional rollers alongside the adjustable feet allow the unit to be repositioned on the floor without lifting, reducing manual handling risks.
• Optional hot plate elements provide an additional cooking mode on the same footprint, maximising versatility without requiring extra equipment.
• Heavy-duty heat-resistant reinforced control knobs with easy-view settings withstand repeated high-temperature use and reduce operator error during busy service.
