Waldorf RNL8203E-B 800 Series 300mm Electric Cooktop Low Back Version – Bench Model

The Waldorf RNL8203E-B is a compact 300mm electric cooktop from the premium 800 Series, designed for demanding commercial kitchen environments. Built in New Zealand from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel throughout, this bench-mounted unit features a 12mm thick mild steel griddle plate positioned on the right-hand side as standard, powered by a single 3.6kW element with a 50–320°C thermostat for precise, consistent heat control.

Engineered with serviceability and hygiene firmly in mind, the RNL8203E-B offers front-access servicing, hinge-up griddle and element sections, and removable vitreous enamelled hob spill trays for fast, thorough cleaning. Six temperature settings including a simmer setting, indicator lights for power and heating status, and heavy-duty reinforced control knobs make this cooktop intuitive to operate across long, busy service periods. Optional hot plate elements are available to expand cooking versatility.
