Electrolux Professional Induction Top 589843 – thermaline 90, 4 Zone Induction Top, 1 Side

Twenty kilowatts of induction power split across four zones is the defining figure on the 589843. In a footprint of 1000 x 900 mm, this thermaline 90 top concentrates 5 kW into each plate, giving a compact but heavy-duty cooking surface for a marine line.

The 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz supply aligns with typical shipboard distribution, so the unit can sit on a dedicated breaker in a 60 Hz galley without special transformers. At 250 mm body height as a top-only module, it can be paired with thermaline 90 bases or mounted on a plinth or cantilever frame to meet the yard’s hygiene and accessibility choices. Net weight is 94 kg, which is light enough for handling during installation but still a substantial mass once it is bolted down as part of a continuous cooking block.

Each of the front and back positions carries two induction plates rated 5 kW, with plate areas of 340 x 370 mm. That plate size suits standard marine stockpots and pans while leaving defined landing zones across the 1000 mm width. Having equal power on front and back simplifies planning: any position can take the same pan and duty without the crew needing to remember a “strong” or “weak” side. The one-side operated configuration keeps all controls and monitoring on the service aisle, which is often the only safe working side in a narrow galley run.

Total connected load of 20 kW and a current consumption of 27.3 Amps belong in the electrical and HVAC calculations. Induction transmits energy directly into the pan with a cooler ambient around the hob than open elements, which helps keep the heat load focused into the ventilation plenum rather than spilling into the galley. The 1000 mm induction top width and 900 mm depth match the thermaline 90 grid, so the THERMODUL jointing can create a seamless surface with adjacent modules for cleaning and hygiene.

• Metal knobs with hygienic soft-touch grips

This unit is a good fit where the galley concept calls for fast-response, high-output hobs in a single 1000 mm module, such as the main sauté or pot section on a thermaline 90 island. It is less suitable where gas is mandated or where the vessel cannot provide a 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz, 20 kW supply; in those cases another top technology in the same series should be considered. As a top-only body it relies on the correct choice of base or plinth to meet the project’s coaming and cleaning requirements.
