Overview

Waldorf RNL8403E-B 800 Series 600mm Electric Cooktop – Low Back Bench Model

The Waldorf RNL8403E-B is a 600mm wide bench-mount electric cooktop from the heavy-duty 800 Series, combining two 2.4kW radiant elements with a 300mm griddle section powered by a 3.6kW element, with the griddle positioned on the right-hand side as standard. The unit is constructed throughout in 304 stainless steel, featuring a welded hob with a 1.5mm bull nose edge, 12mm mild steel griddle plates, and aluminised steel internal construction, making it well suited to high-volume commercial kitchen environments.

Designed with the operator in mind, the RNL8403E-B offers six temperature settings including a simmer position on each radiant element, a 50 to 320°C thermostat governing the griddle section, and dedicated power and heating status indicator lights on every element control. Four heavy-duty bench legs with adjustable feet covering a height range of 80 to 105mm provide installation flexibility, while hinge-up element and griddle sections, removable spill trays, and full front access make routine cleaning and servicing straightforward.

Key Benefits

• Versatile cooking surface combining radiant elements and a griddle within a compact 600mm footprint, reducing the number of separate appliances required on the line.
