Waldorf RNL8609E-B 800 Series 900mm Electric Cooktop Low Back Version – Bench Model

The Waldorf RNL8609E-B is a 900mm electric cooktop from the 800 Series, designed as a bench-mounted unit with a low back profile for commercial kitchen installations. It combines a 900mm griddle with three 3.6kW griddle elements and optional hot plate elements, offering flexible, high-output cooking across multiple zones suited to busy foodservice operations.

Constructed with heavy-duty 304 stainless steel throughout, the RNL8609E-B features a welded hob with bull nose edging, vitreous enamelled element modules and hob spill trays, and 12mm thick mild steel griddle plates. The bench model ships with four heavy-duty stainless steel legs with adjustable feet, allowing height adjustment from 80mm to 105mm, plus two additional rollers for easy repositioning.

Key Benefits

• Three independently controlled 3.6kW griddle elements deliver consistent, high-output heat across the full 900mm cooking surface, supporting simultaneous multi-product cooking during peak service.
• A 50–320°C thermostat per 300mm griddle section gives precise temperature control over each cooking zone, reducing the risk of over or undercooking.
• Six temperature settings plus a simmer setting provide versatile heat management for a wide range of menu items, from delicate proteins to high-heat searing.
• Hinge-up element and griddle sections combined with front-of-unit service access make routine maintenance and deep cleaning straightforward, minimising downtime.
• Removable vitreous enamelled element modules and hob spill trays simplify cleaning after service, keeping the unit hygienic with minimal effort.
• Adjustable bench legs (80–105mm height range) and two additional rollers allow the unit to be levelled precisely on uneven floors and relocated easily during kitchen reconfiguration.
• Optional hot plate elements with machine-finished 8mm steel plate expand the unit's cooking versatility without requiring a separate appliance.
• Indicator lights for power and heating on each element control provide at-a-glance confirmation of operating status, supporting safe and efficient kitchen workflow.
