Electrolux Professional Induction Top 589841 – thermaline 90, 2 Zone Induction Top, 1 Side

10 kW of installed power on a 500 x 900 mm body is concentrated into two 5 kW induction zones on the 589841. Each zone measures 340 x 370 mm, so the full module width is active cooking surface rather than unused stainless.

On a shipboard installation the 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz supply is as important as the headline kW. The unit lands directly on the typical marine distribution without step-up transformers, and the 13.7 Amps current consumption is straightforward to accommodate on a cooking-line sub-board. At 250 mm external height and 900 mm depth, this top aligns with thermaline 90 bases and neighbouring 900 mm modules, simplifying deck layout when bulkheads and coamings fix the available strip of galley space.

The configuration is one-side operated and top-only. Both zones are controlled from the same front working edge, with the plates arranged front and back. In a straight-line galley this keeps the chef inside a 500 mm width band and leaves the service side clear, which matters where the block backs onto a passageway or servery. Matching front and back plate power at 5 kW allows the same pan set to be used in either position without rethinking heat-up behaviour between services.

Aboard, routine cleaning and washdown set the construction requirements. The AISI 304 (1.4301) stainless steel construction and stainless steel internal frame form a rigid shell around the electronics, and the IPX5 rating against water ingress allows the top to be cleaned with spray rather than relying on dry wiping alone. Being built to DIN 18860-2 with a drop-nose worktop, the 589841 follows the hygienic edge and plinth geometry used across the thermaline 90 line, so joints, coves and overhangs line up when the unit is connected via THERMODUL.

THERMODUL jointing closes the gaps between modules so food soil and liquids do not migrate into seams, and it also means a single 500 mm unit such as this can be pulled for service without disturbing the rest of the block. Front access to components supports that approach: most routine checks and interventions are done from the working side without moving the appliance, a practical advantage once the feet are fixed down and deck seams are sealed.

This module is a strong candidate where a compact, two-pan induction station is needed within a larger thermaline 90 suite or as a focused boiling and sauté point in a confined galley. It is the wrong choice where the requirement is for operation from both sides of the block or for a higher number of zones in one position, because the 500 mm, one-side operated body and two-zone layout limit multi-operator access.
