Electrolux Professional Bain-Marie 589820 – thermaline 90, Electric Bain Marie, Rear Tap, 1/1GN, 1 Side

5 to 32 litres in a single 1/1 GN well is the working envelope of the thermaline 90 bain-marie 589820. The pan measures 307 x 509 mm with 170 mm usable height, giving a deep holding well on a 400 x 900 mm top module.

On a vessel this size-to-load relationship matters because deck area is expensive and utilities are constrained. At 1.5 kW total load and 4 amps current consumption on a 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz supply, this unit adds very little to a cooking line’s electrical demand, yet still maintains a 30 °C to 90 °C thermostat range. That band covers typical hot holding requirements without forcing the galley to dedicate a larger kettle or combi oven just to keep a small batch at temperature.

Externally, the module is 400 mm wide, 900 mm deep and 700 mm high in a one-side operated top configuration. That footprint drops directly into a thermaline 90 run, or into a mixed line where a narrow hot-holding point is needed between heavier cooking modules. Net weight is 43 kg, which is light enough to handle during installation but substantial enough to sit solidly once bolted down. The inlet is via a 3/4" incoming cold or hot water line, with a separate 3/4" water inlet connection quoted and a 1" drain line size: plumbing can therefore follow the same practices as other galley fixtures using those standard threads.

The well itself is sized to a 1/1 GN footprint and, at 5 lt MIN and 32 lt MAX capacity, needs to be operated with proper fill to avoid exposing the elements. The 30 °C MIN setting can support gentle warming or proofing style applications, whereas the 90 °C MAX limit keeps the unit squarely in the hot-holding and service zone rather than boiling. In service, that distinction removes load from the ventilation system compared with open boiling equipment while still maintaining food at safe holding temperatures.

This bain-marie is the right choice where a line needs a compact 400 mm module to hold up to 32 lt in a single well, for example in a smaller main galley or a specialty station. It is the wrong choice where multiple independent temperature zones are required; in that case, larger or multi-well bodies in the same family should be considered.
