Electrolux Professional Fry Top 589828 – thermaline 90, Half Module Electric Fry Top, 1 Side

Five point one kilowatts focused into a 300 x 615 mm cooking surface defines the 589828 as a compact but hard-working fry zone. The 80 to 280 °C working range lets the plate cover gentle holding at the low end and high-temperature searing at the top.

On a shipboard suite the 400 x 900 mm external dimensions and 250 mm height tie this top cleanly into a 900 mm deep thermaline 90 run. One-side operation matches the marine pattern, keeping all controls to the service aisle and simplifying guard rail and canopy layout. Supply is 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz, so the unit sits straight onto a marine switchboard without needing a non-standard voltage section. With current consumption quoted at 7 Amps, it is an easy load to accommodate when several modules share the same distribution panel, but it still needs to be carried in the electrical coordination rather than treated as negligible.

The cooking surface is a smooth chromium plated mild steel mirror plate, 300 mm wide and 615 mm deep. That geometry suits focused duties: a burger or fish section, a breakfast zone, or a finishing surface beside a larger solid top or griddle. The chromium plating gives a dense, flat surface that releases product cleanly and is fast to scrape between runs, which matters on a vessel where cleaning is done under time pressure and with inspection in mind. At 80 °C minimum working temperature the plate can hold cooked product or delicate items without burning residues onto the surface, then be driven up towards 280 °C when the galley moves into peak service and colour and throughput take priority.

The external shell and internal frame are in stainless steel, with a net weight of 69 kg. For a 400 mm wide top that mass provides a stable base when the module is fixed to a plinth, deck pads or an open base, and it gives the structure the stiffness needed for repeated heat cycling at sea. Configuration as a top-only, one-side operated unit leaves the designer free to place it over a neutral base, refrigerated base or open cupboard depending on the section’s needs.

This unit is the right choice where a line needs a dedicated smooth fry surface in a half-module width, or where the electrical budget demands a modest 5.1 kW draw per plate. It is the wrong choice for a galley that needs a ribbed branding surface or a very large batch-frying area; those applications call for different plate geometries or larger bodies from the same thermaline 90 family.
