Overview

Waldorf Bold RNLB8603E-B 900mm Electric Cooktop Low Back Version Bench Model

The Waldorf Bold RNLB8603E-B is a 900mm wide electric cooktop bench model designed for demanding commercial kitchen environments. It combines four 2.4kW open radiant elements with a 3.6kW thermostatically controlled 300mm griddle section positioned on the right-hand side as standard, delivering a total power output of 13.2kW on a 415V three-phase supply. The unit is built in New Zealand to the robust standards of the Waldorf Bold range, with heavy-duty 304 stainless steel construction throughout and a default black colour finish with additional colour options available.

Mounted on four 63mm diameter stainless steel bench legs with adjustable feet, the RNLB8603E-B sits at a working height adjustable between 80mm and 105mm, making it easy to integrate into existing kitchen setups. Vitreous enamelled element module spill trays and a stainless steel hob spill tray simplify cleaning, while front-accessible servicing means minimal downtime during busy service periods. Optional hot plate elements provide further configuration flexibility, making this cooktop a versatile centrepiece for high-volume cooking operations.

Key Benefits

• Four independent radiant elements deliver responsive, controllable heat across the full cooktop surface, suited to simultaneous multi-pan cooking.
• The integrated 300mm griddle section with a dedicated 3.6kW element and 50-320°C thermostat enables precise flat-top cooking alongside open-element cooking in a single compact unit.
• Adjustable bench legs (80-105mm height range) allow the unit to be levelled and matched to existing bench heights for ergonomic working conditions.
• All serviceable components are accessible from the front of the unit, reducing the need to move heavy equipment and minimising kitchen disruption during maintenance.
• Stainless steel spill trays beneath both the radiant element and griddle sections collect food debris and grease, making routine cleaning quick and hygienic.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs with clearly visible settings and individual power and heating indicator lights give operators at-a-glance confidence during busy service.
• The 12mm thick mild steel griddle plate with 2.5mm stainless steel splash guards provides a durable, even cooking surface capable of withstanding high-volume commercial use.
• Optional hot plate elements allow the configuration to be tailored to specific menu requirements without replacing the entire unit.
