Overview

Waldorf RNL8609E-CB 800 Series 900mm Electric Cooktop Low Back Version Cabinet Base

The Waldorf RNL8609E-CB is a heavy-duty 900mm electric cooktop from the 800 Series, mounted on a cabinet base and designed for demanding commercial kitchen environments. The unit features a full-width 900mm griddle plate powered by three 3.6kW elements, with each 300mm griddle section independently controlled via a 50–320°C thermostat, allowing precise temperature zoning across the cooking surface.

Constructed with 304 stainless steel throughout, the RNL8609E-CB combines a welded 1.5mm bull nose hob, vitreous enamelled element modules and hob spill trays, and 12mm thick mild steel griddle plates for lasting durability. The fully modular cabinet base offers a double-skin stainless steel interior and exterior, and the entire unit is engineered for straightforward front-access servicing and cleaning, minimising downtime in busy service environments.
