Electrolux Professional Deep Fat Fryer 589826 – thermaline 90, 23 lt Well Freestanding Electric Deep Fat Fryer, 1 Side H=700

A single 23 lt maximum oil well under an 18 kW load is what sets the 589826 apart in the thermaline 90 marine line. The usable well measures 340 × 400 × 250 mm, giving a compact but deep basket area for a one-side operated station.

On a shipboard galley, 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz supply aligns this fryer with standard marine switchboards, avoiding special feeds or transformers. The 500 × 900 mm external footprint and 700 mm body height let it drop cleanly into a thermaline 90 run without disturbing existing lines or prep zones. At 85 kg net weight, it is substantial enough to be tied into a plinth or flanged feet so that it becomes part of the galley structure rather than a loose appliance.

The well capacity is specified at 20 lt minimum and 23 lt maximum. That range defines how the fryer must be filled to cover the elements correctly and keep temperature control within design limits. The thermostat works from 100 °C up to 180 °C, so it covers standard deep-frying temperatures without pushing oil into higher stress bands. With 18 kW available on a single well, recovery between loads is driven by power per litre rather than by oversized oil volume, which keeps oil turnover high and helps the galley plan filtration and change-out intervals.

Usable well dimensions of 340 mm in width and 400 mm in depth give a basket footprint that suits portion work more than very large single items. The 250 mm usable height in the well allows product to be fully submerged at the 20–23 lt oil fill. Being configured on base and one-side operated, it is meant to stand in a line against a bulkhead or in an island run where only one face is used, freeing the rear for services and inspection.

Build and control

• IPX5 rated against water ingress
• AISI 304 (1.4301) stainless steel construction
• Built to DIN 18860-2 with drop-nose worktop
• THERMODUL jointing for a seamless run of units
• Stainless steel internal frame
• Digital control display
• Overheat cut-out
• Standby mode for reduced idle consumption
• Front access to components for service
• Metal knobs with hygienic soft-touch grips

Current consumption is quoted at 24 Amps, which is the figure the electrical designer needs for panelboard and cabling calculations at 440 V. The standby mode is relevant where the fryer sits hot for long periods between services, trimming idle load without having to switch it fully off and wait for a complete heat-up. IPX5 protection means the external surfaces tolerate pressure-spray cleaning as part of the galley washdown regime, provided the spray is kept within the IPX5 test conditions.

This fryer is the right choice where a single 23 lt well matches the menu and there is a defined fry station in the thermaline 90 suite. It is not the right unit where the galley needs multiple oil types in parallel or significantly higher instantaneous throughput, in which case larger or multi-well bodies in the same series should be reviewed.
