Waldorf Bold RNB8609E-B 900mm Electric Griddle Cooktop – Bench Model

The Waldorf Bold RNB8609E-B is a 900mm electric cooktop bench model built for high-volume commercial kitchens. It features a full 900mm griddle configuration with three 3.6kW griddle elements, 12mm thick mild steel griddle plates, and a 50–320°C thermostat per 300mm griddle section, giving operators precise, zone-by-zone temperature control across the entire cooking surface.

Constructed with a welded 304 stainless steel hob and heavy-duty aluminised steel internal components, the RNB8609E-B is engineered for durability and ease of maintenance. The bench model stands on four 63mm diameter stainless steel legs with adjustable feet offering 80–105mm height adjustment, plus two additional rollers for easy repositioning. Default finish is black with other colour options available, and optional hot plate or open radiant elements allow the unit to be configured for broader cooking requirements.

Key Benefits

• Three independently controlled 3.6kW griddle elements with per-section thermostats allow different foods to be cooked simultaneously at different temperatures, reducing energy use and improving output.
• Full 900mm griddle surface with 12mm thick mild steel plates retains and distributes heat evenly, delivering consistent results across the entire cooking zone during peak service.
• Six temperature settings including a simmer setting provide versatile heat management for delicate items through to high-heat searing.
• Adjustable bench legs (80–105mm height range) combined with two additional rollers make installation straightforward and allow repositioning without disassembling the unit.
• All serviceable components are accessible from the front of the unit, minimising downtime and simplifying routine maintenance in tight kitchen layouts.
• Stainless steel spill trays beneath griddle sections and a vitreous enamelled element module spill tray contain mess and make cleaning faster between services.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs with easy-view settings are heat resistant and designed to withstand the demands of continuous commercial use.
• Optional hot plate elements and open radiant elements (2.0kW and 2.4kW respectively) allow the cooktop configuration to be expanded to suit evolving menu requirements.
