Overview

Waldorf RNL8609E-LS 800 Series 900mm Electric Cooktop Low Back Version – Leg Stand

The Waldorf RNL8609E-LS is a heavy-duty 900mm electric cooktop from the 800 Series, configured with a full-width griddle plate and mounted on a dedicated leg stand for freestanding installation in commercial kitchens. It combines three 3.6kW griddle elements across a 12mm thick mild steel griddle surface with precise per-section thermostat control, delivering consistent, controllable heat for high-volume cooking operations.

Constructed throughout in 304 stainless steel with an aluminised steel internal frame, the unit is built to withstand the rigours of busy professional kitchens. The fully modular leg stand assembles without tools and features a lower shelf, adjustable feet and two additional rollers for ease of positioning and levelling. Routine cleaning and servicing are simplified by hinge-up element and griddle sections, removable vitreous enamelled spill trays, and front-access design for all components.

Key Benefits

• Three independently controlled 300mm griddle sections allow simultaneous cooking at different temperatures, improving menu flexibility and reducing wait times.
• A 50–320°C thermostat per griddle section provides precise heat management, from a gentle simmer setting through to high-temperature searing.
• Hinge-up element and griddle sections combined with removable vitreous enamelled spill trays make end-of-service cleaning fast and thorough.
• Front-only access to all serviceable parts minimises kitchen downtime during maintenance and reduces the clearance space required around the unit.
• Tool-free modular leg stand assembly saves time on installation and allows the cooktop to be reconfigured or repositioned as kitchen layouts change.
• Adjustable feet and two additional rollers make levelling on uneven floors straightforward and allow the unit to be moved safely for deep cleaning.
• Heavy-duty reinforced, heat-resistant control knobs with easy-view markings reduce the risk of operator error during fast-paced service.
• Optional hot plate elements with machine-finished 8mm steel plate expand cooking versatility without requiring a separate appliance.
• Fully modular construction allows the unit to be paired with other 800 Series appliances for a matched suite finish in larger kitchen configurations.
