Electrolux Professional Free-Cooking Top 589892 – thermaline 90, 500 mm Electric Free-cooking Top with Smooth Plate, 1 Side (H3)

Six kilowatts concentrated into a 500 mm wide top is what defines the 589892 module. The free-cooking plate runs from 80 to 350 °C across a smooth surface, giving a compact but high-intensity work zone within a thermaline 90 line.

At 900 mm deep and 700 mm high, this one-side operated unit fits the standard marine thermaline body size, which simplifies planning around galley traffic and ventilation canopies. The 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz supply aligns with common shipboard distributions, so it can be tied into a 60 Hz main without a special version. Current draw is 11.8 Amps, a figure that matters when several modules sit on the same section of the panel.

The work envelope is defined by the 500 mm width: enough space for mixed pan work and direct cooking on the plate, but narrow enough to slot between larger bodies such as solid tops or fryers in a modular suite. Because the operating band starts at 80 °C, the plate can hold and finish without burning delicate items, then step up towards 350 °C where colour and throughput are the priority. On a vessel where electrical load is finite, 6 kW on this footprint is a deliberate balance between performance and installed power.

The carcass follows the thermaline 90 construction pattern. A stainless steel internal frame in 2 mm class construction supports the top and base, giving a rigid structure that tolerates movement during service and transport. Built to DIN 18860-2 with a drop-nose worktop, the module sits cleanly against adjacent units and plinths, with the nose detail helping to manage spills and cleaning water on the front edge. Net weight is 98 kg, so correct anchoring to a plinth or deck is a design step rather than an afterthought.

Supply is 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz, so this top can move between 50 and 60 Hz fleets without a redesign of the electrical section. Total load is 6 kW at 11.8 Amps, which keeps cable sizing and breaker selection relatively straightforward when multiple thermaline 90 modules are grouped. External dimensions of 500 x 900 x 700 mm make the footprint predictable in a run built with THERMODUL joints.

Build and control

• IPX5 rated against water ingress
• AISI 304 (1.4301) stainless steel construction
• AISI 316L stainless steel in wetted parts
• 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
• Front access to components for service
• Metal knobs with hygienic soft-touch grips

This is the right choice where a line needs a focused, high-temperature free-cooking zone without giving up more than 500 mm of line length, and where the ship’s electrical allocation favours several 6 kW modules over a few larger bodies. It is the wrong choice where a galley expects bulk pan work or multiple large pots permanently on the hob, which are better served by wider tops or solid plates.
