Electrolux Professional Deep Fat Fryer 589914 – thermaline 90, 14 lt Well Freestanding Electric Deep Fat Fryer, 1 Side, H=700

Ten kilowatts into a single 14 lt well is the defining number on the 589914 fryer. In a 400 x 900 mm footprint it delivers one 240 x 380 mm frying area, with oil working between 12 and 14 lt under a 100–180 °C thermostat band.

This unit is built around a 440 V/3 ph/60 Hz supply, matching the standard shipboard distribution rather than a shore-based 400 V system. Current draw is 13.1 A, which makes protective device sizing straightforward on a marine switchboard. The 700 mm body height suits thermaline 90 freestanding lines and gives a continuous working plane when joined to other 900 mm deep modules in the same series.

For a naval architect or system integrator, the external dimensions of 400 x 900 x 700 mm are the starting point for galley layout. A single 400 mm module leaves space either side for other thermaline 90 appliances while still allowing a guard rail or splash protection to be incorporated where the yard requires it. Net weight is 70 kg, which is light enough that deck reinforcement is rarely a structural issue, but high enough that proper flanged feet or plinth mounting remain important for stability in heavy weather.

The well itself is sized at 240 mm wide, 380 mm deep and 225 mm high. At the 12 lt minimum oil level there is sufficient headroom under the counter surface to limit spitting when baskets enter the oil; at the 14 lt maximum the full heating surface is covered for consistent temperature control across the 100–180 °C range. That band covers typical deep-frying applications without pushing oil beyond its stated working temperature. Being an electric fryer, all 10 kW are resistive load, which simplifies load balance calculations against ventilation and other galley equipment.

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

The IPX6 rating means the fryer can be cleaned down with pressure spray equipment without exposing internal components, provided the deck drain and surrounding structure are designed accordingly. Front access to components allows most maintenance tasks to be handled from the operating side, which matters once the unit is hard-mounted on a base and sealed to the deck for USPH-style plan approval.

Where this model fits is a line that needs one high-output vat rather than a bank of fryers: a smaller crew complement, or a galley where frying is a secondary duty. It is the wrong choice where production requires parallel baskets or separate oil types; in that case the wider multi-well bodies in the same thermaline 90 family should be considered.
