Overview

Waldorf RNL8600E-B 800 Series 900mm Electric Cooktop Low Back Version – Bench Model

The Waldorf RNL8600E-B is a 900mm wide, six-element electric cooktop from the heavy-duty 800 Series, designed specifically for high-volume commercial kitchens. Six 2.4kW open radiant elements deliver a combined output of 14.4kW across six independently controlled cooking zones, with each zone offering six temperature settings plus a simmer setting for precise heat management across a full service period.

Constructed from 304 stainless steel throughout, the bench model ships with four heavy-duty adjustable legs and two additional rollers for easy repositioning. Vitreous enamelled element modules and hob spill trays simplify cleaning, while hinge-up element sections and full front-access servicing minimise downtime. Optional hot plate elements provide additional cooking versatility, and the unit is manufactured in New Zealand and backed by a 24-month warranty.
