Overview

Waldorf RNL8616EC 800 Series 900mm Electric Range with Convection Oven – Low Back Configuration

The Waldorf RNL8616EC is a heavy-duty 900mm electric range from the acclaimed 800 Series, integrating a two-element radiant cooktop, a 600mm griddle section, and a GN 2/1 electric convection oven within a single low-back unit purpose-built for high-volume commercial kitchens. The chassis is galvanised steel with 304 stainless steel used throughout, and the oven cavity benefits from high-density fibreglass insulation for efficient, consistent heat retention.

The fully welded, vitreous enamelled convection oven cavity accommodates GN 2/1 trays across four rack positions, with a 100W motor driving a 200mm circulation fan for even heat distribution. On the cooktop, two 2.4kW open radiant elements sit alongside a 600mm griddle fitted with 12mm mild steel griddle plates and 2.5mm stainless steel splash guards, making this range a versatile solution for cafes, restaurants, and institutional catering operations that need simultaneous batch cooking, grilling, and sautéing.

Key Benefits

• Fan-forced convection using a 200mm circulation fan and a cast iron sole plate delivers uniform temperatures across all four rack positions, eliminating hot spots and ensuring consistent baking and roasting results.
• GN 2/1 oven capacity with four rack positions supports high-volume batch cooking, maximising throughput during peak service periods.
• Two open radiant elements combined with a 600mm griddle provide simultaneous, flexible cooking across dual surfaces, reducing dependence on additional standalone equipment.
• Vitreous enamel lining on the oven cavity, door inner, and hob modules resists grease absorption and cleans quickly, minimising downtime between services.
• Adjustable feet and two additional rollers simplify installation and allow the unit to be repositioned for cleaning or servicing without heavy lifting.
• Reinforced heavy-duty control knobs with six temperature settings plus a simmer setting deliver precise, repeatable heat control across both the cooktop and oven.
• A stay-cool stainless steel door handle secured by cast metal mounts protects operators during busy service, while the welded frame drop-down door is supported by a robust spring hinge assembly for durable, reliable access.
• Optional hotplate elements using machine-ground 8mm steel plate provide a straightforward upgrade path, allowing the cooktop configuration to be adapted to changing menu requirements without replacing the entire unit.
• 304 stainless steel construction throughout, including a 1.5mm bull nose, 1.2mm splashback and hob sides, and 150mm heavy-duty legs, ensures long-term durability and a professional finish in demanding kitchen environments.
