Electrolux Professional Fry Top 589918 – thermaline 90, Half Module Electric Fry Top, 1 Side

5.1 kW on a 300 x 615 mm ribbed plate is a focused footprint for a marine line. The 589918 condenses that output into a half-module thermaline 90 top, 400 x 900 x 250 mm overall, for one-side operation where deck space and connected load are both constrained.

Running at 440 V/3 ph/60 Hz, this fry top is specified for a shipboard electrical distribution rather than a shore-only supply. At 6.7 Amps current consumption it is a modest draw on a 440 V galley panel, which matters when several thermaline 90 modules share the same section of switchboard. The working temperature span is 80 to 280 °C, wide enough for low-temperature holding and high-temperature searing on the same ribbed surface.

On a vessel, the 900 mm depth ties this module into the thermaline 90 marine pattern, so it aligns cleanly with adjacent tops and bases. At 250 mm high it is a top unit ready to sit on a compatible base, plinth or cantilever system, giving the yard flexibility in how it is fixed and how deck cleaning beneath is arranged. The 65 kg net weight is substantial enough that proper marine mounting and fastening should be planned, but light enough that the unit can still be removed or repositioned without structural work if the galley is reconfigured.

The cooking surface itself is ribbed and finished in anti-scratch NitroChrome3, a choice aimed at repeated deglazing and scraping without rapidly marking the plate. The 615 mm depth offers generous front-to-back loading in relation to the 300 mm width, suiting a line where this fry top handles one product family rather than acting as a general-purpose griddle for every order. With the 80–280 °C range, the plate can be held at lower settings during lulls and brought back up as service builds, supported by the standby mode that reduces idle consumption.

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
• Stainless steel splash guards
• Overheat cut-out
• Standby mode for reduced idle consumption
• Drain to a removable collection tray
• Powerblock heating system
• Front access to components for service
• Metal knobs with hygienic soft-touch grips

IPX6 water ingress protection allows the unit to be cleaned down with pressure spray in line with marine galley practice, instead of relying on hand-wiping alone. The AISI 304 stainless construction with a stainless steel internal frame and splash guards gives a consistent material set for welding to adjacent worktops or for mounting on stainless plinths. Front access to components keeps service work on the working side of the line, avoiding the need to unbolt or move the unit when maintenance is due.

This half-module ribbed plate is the right choice where a galley needs a dedicated grilling surface in a limited width, or where it is one element in a larger thermaline 90 block. It is not the best fit where a broad, flat griddle is required for bulk breakfast work, or where two-side operation across an island is part of the cooking concept.
