Waldorf RNL8603G-CB 800 Series 900mm Gas Cooktop Low Back Version Cabinet Base

The Waldorf RNL8603G-CB is a 900mm wide gas cooktop from the 800 Series, combining four open burners with a 300mm smooth griddle plate on a solid cabinet base. Designed and built in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it delivers a total output of 112MJ/hr across five burners, making it a high-performance centrepiece for busy commercial kitchens requiring both rapid searing and controlled griddle cooking in a single unit.

Engineered for straightforward operation and long service life, the RNL8603G-CB features flame failure protection on every burner, removable cast iron burners with vitreous enamel pot stands that allow cookware to slide seamlessly between positions, and heavy-duty reinforced control knobs for precise thermostatic temperature adjustment between 100 and 290°C. Adjustable feet plus two additional rollers simplify levelling and repositioning, while the low-back splashback keeps the unit practical and easy to integrate into suite configurations.

Key Benefits

• Four open burners each rated at 28MJ/hr deliver fast, responsive heat for high-volume pan work across the cooktop surface.
• The integrated 300mm smooth griddle burner (20MJ/hr, positioned on the right as standard) handles bacon, eggs, smash burgers and delicate proteins without requiring a separate appliance.
• Flame failure protection on all burners automatically cuts gas supply if a flame extinguishes, improving kitchen safety and compliance.
• Vitreous enamel pot stands with extended finger supports allow pots and pans to slide directly from burner to burner, speeding up service and reducing the risk of spills.
• Removable cast iron burners and pot stands make deep cleaning faster and less labour-intensive, helping maintain hygiene standards during and after service.
• Thermostatic temperature control across the 100–290°C range gives chefs consistent, repeatable results whether simmering sauces or searing proteins.
• Adjustable feet combined with two additional rollers make installation straightforward and allow repositioning without specialist equipment.
• Compatible with both natural gas and LPG supplies via a 3/4 BSP male connection, providing flexibility across different venue gas infrastructure.
• Heavy-duty 304 stainless steel construction and reinforced control knobs are built to withstand the rigours of continuous commercial use.
