Waldorf RN8609G-B 800 Series 900mm Gas Cooktop – Bench Model

The Waldorf RN8609G-B is a 900mm gas cooktop from the 800 Series, designed as a bench model for high-demand commercial kitchen environments. It features three 20MJ/hr griddle burners delivering a combined 60MJ/hr of cooking power, with a smooth 900mm griddle surface as standard positioned on the right-hand side. Constructed from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel, this unit is built to withstand the rigours of continuous professional use.

Thermostatic temperature control across a 100–290°C range gives chefs precise command over cooking conditions, while flame failure protection on all burners adds an important layer of operational safety. Thoughtful design details including removable cast iron burners, vitreous enamel pot stands with extended finger supports for easy pan sliding, heavy-duty reinforced control knobs, adjustable feet, and two additional rollers make this cooktop straightforward to install, clean, and service.
