Electrolux Professional Fry Top 589838 – thermaline 90, Half Module Freestanding Electric Fry Top, 1 Side, H=700- H3

A 300 x 615 mm ribbed cooking surface on a 400 x 900 x 700 mm body defines the footprint and working area of the 589838 fry top. At 5.1 kW on a chromium plated mild-steel mirror plate, it is specified for direct grill work rather than being a multi-purpose solid top.

The unit runs on a 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz supply, which aligns with typical shipboard power systems and avoids the need for special transformers. Current consumption is quoted at 7 Amps, so it is a modest electrical load compared with heavier thermaline 90 modules, something a designer can use when balancing a crowded galley panel. The one-side operated configuration suits a line of equipment against a bulkhead rather than an island suite.

Working temperature spans from 80 °C to 280 °C. That range lets the crew hold product at lower settings or push into searing temperatures for fast colour and grill marks on the ribbed surface. The chromium plated mild-steel mirror finish supports quick cleaning and reduces food adhesion when correctly preheated, which matters on a vessel where turnaround between services has to be predictable.

External dimensions of 400 mm width and 900 mm depth make this a half-module in the thermaline 90 family, leaving room in a run of 900 mm-deep equipment for other functions alongside it. Net weight is 91 kg, which is substantial for a unit this narrow and reflects the stainless steel internal frame and plate mass. The on-base configuration with a 700 mm height body brings the cooking surface to a standard working level without requiring an additional support cabinet.

Beneath the plate, the storage cavity offers 340 mm width, 330 mm height and 740 mm depth. On board, that is useful space for holding utensils, grill brushes or GN pans linked to the station, and it stays within the same stainless envelope for ease of cleaning. Drainage from the cooking surface is taken to a removable collection tray, keeping grease management self-contained rather than relying on a plumbed drain line.

This fry top fits a galley where grill capacity is needed in a tight width and where a 5.1 kW, 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz load can be easily accommodated on the distribution board. It is not the right choice where a smooth plate is mandatory for fragile items, or where a larger grilling surface is required for a high-volume outlet; in those cases the broader bodies in the same line should be specified.
