Waldorf RNL8603G-B 800 Series 900mm Gas Cooktop with 300mm Griddle Low Back Bench Model

The Waldorf RNL8603G-B is a 900mm wide bench model gas cooktop from the Waldorf 800 Series, combining four open burners rated at 28MJ/hr each with a 300mm smooth griddle plate powered by a dedicated 20MJ/hr griddle burner. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it is engineered for the rigorous demands of busy commercial kitchens, delivering a total output of 112MJ/hr across all cooking zones.

Designed with operator practicality in mind, the cooktop features flame failure protection on every burner, removable heavy-duty cast iron burners, and vitreous enamel pot stands with extended finger supports that allow cookware to slide smoothly between burners. The low back configuration suits bench installations where a full splashback is not required, and the unit comes with adjustable feet plus two additional rollers to simplify positioning and service access.
