Overview

Waldorf RNL8600E-RB 800 Series 900mm Electric Cooktop Low Back Version with Refrigerated Base

The Waldorf RNL8600E-RB brings together a six-element 900mm electric cooktop and an integrated refrigerated base within the respected 800 Series lineup, engineered specifically for the demands of high-throughput commercial kitchens. Six 2.4kW open radiant elements are mounted in robust welded frames, delivering a combined 14.4kW of cooking power, while the self-contained refrigerated base maintains a working temperature range of -2°C to +8°C using R134a refrigerant and carries a Tropical Climate rating for reliable performance in heat-intensive environments.

Built throughout from 304 stainless steel, the unit features a welded 1.5mm bull-nose hob, vitreous enamelled element modules and hob spill trays, and reinforced control knobs with individual indicator lights. The refrigerated base incorporates two GN 1/1 drawers, automatic defrost and evaporation of defrost water, a front-accessible condensing unit, adjustable legs and two additional rollers, with optional hot plate elements available to broaden cooking versatility.

Key Benefits

• Six individual 2.4kW radiant elements, each governed by its own energy regulator across six temperature settings including a simmer position, give chefs precise heat control along the full 900mm cooking surface.
• The integrated refrigerated base holds mise en place and perishables at a safe -2°C to +8°C directly beneath the cooktop, cutting travel time and improving line efficiency during service.
• Tropical Climate rating on the refrigeration system ensures consistent temperature holding even in demanding, heat-intensive kitchen environments.
• Vitreous enamelled element modules and hob spill trays are fully removable, and hinge-up element sections allow thorough cleaning without tools, minimising downtime between services.
• All components are accessible from the front only, including a removable condensing unit that slides out through the front of the unit, allowing installation in tight run configurations without any rear clearance needed for routine maintenance.
• Magnetic drawer gaskets can be swapped out without tools, lowering maintenance costs and keeping the refrigerated base properly sealed and efficient over the long term.
• Sturdy European telescopic drawer runners provide smooth, dependable access to the GN 1/1 drawers under the pressures of continuous service.
• A 50mm fully foamed CFC-free insulation layer combined with an anti-corrosion treated evaporator safeguards refrigeration performance and extends the working life of the unit.
• An optional upgrade to hot plate elements, featuring a machine-finished 8mm steel cooking surface, expands the unit's capability to suit a wider range of menu requirements.
