Electrolux Professional Deep Fat Fryer 589913 – thermaline 90, 23 lt well freestanding electric deep fat fryer, 1 side H=800

Eighteen kilowatts into a single 23 litre well is the defining number on the 589913. At a usable well size of 340 x 400 mm, that power density gives fast recovery in a compact 500 x 900 mm body.

On a shipboard galley, that 440 V/3 ph/60 Hz supply aligns directly with the main distribution, so there is no need for dedicated step-down or frequency conversion. The 900 mm depth matches other thermaline 90 modules, which matters when the line is built as a continuous block with shared ventilation and fire suppression. With external height at 700 mm on base and one-side operation, this fryer drops into a standard cookline without forcing a different working level or island layout.

The well is specified between 20 and 23 litres, with a 250 mm usable height. That range allows safe operation over the full 100 to 180 °C thermostat band, rather than running close to a high-level overflow when loaded. For a galley planning service, the single 340 mm-wide well suits focused, high-turnover duties such as a main chips or snacks station, rather than a mixed-production line needing separate oil types. Net weight is 85 kg, so the structure beneath and any marine fixing points have to be specified as part of the galley foundation, not treated as a light counter-top appliance.

Total connected load is 18 kW at 24 amps. On a vessel where electrical capacity and exhaust extraction are both tightly budgeted, that figure should be set against the rest of the thermaline 90 battery when balancing loads across the switchboard sections. The 100 °C minimum thermostat setting allows controlled warm-up and lower-temperature holding, which is useful where product quality demands that oil is not left at the 180 °C maximum between peaks. The current draw and heat rejection also feed straight into the HVAC load calculation; even with a compact footprint, this fryer is a significant thermal source in a confined galley.

Build and control

• IPX6 rated against water ingress
• AISI 304 (1.4301) stainless steel construction
• Built to DIN 18860-2 with drop-nose worktop
• Stainless steel internal frame
• Compliant with Swiss Energy Efficiency Ordinance 730.02
• Overheat cut-out
• Standby mode for reduced idle consumption
• Front access to components for service
• Metal knobs with hygienic soft-touch grips

IPX6 protection means the unit tolerates pressure-spray cleaning, aligning with the washdown routines common in marine galleys, provided that ship procedures follow good practice on electrical isolation. The stainless steel internal frame and AISI 304 construction match the rest of the thermaline 90 range, so adjoining modules can be joined cleanly under DIN 18860-2, with the drop-nose worktop helping to control spills and simplify wipe-down around the fryer well. Front access to components is particularly relevant in a built-in marine block, where moving a fryer for service is not an option.

This configuration is a good fit for ships needing a dedicated, high-output deep-fry position without splitting volume across multiple wells, and where the electrical board can comfortably supply 18 kW on 440 V/3 ph/60 Hz. It is the wrong choice where separate allergen or product segregation is required in the same footprint, or where the galley concept calls for a larger combined frying surface rather than a single 340 mm-wide 23 litre well.
