Electrolux Professional Induction Top 589929 – thermaline 90, 2 Zone Full Surface Induction Top, 1 Side, H=700 - H3

Fourteen kilowatts concentrated into a 500 × 900 mm footprint gives the 589929 induction top enough density for a compact main galley line. Each of the two zones is rated 7 kW, with both front and back plates sharing the same 420 × 370 mm cooking area, so loading can be balanced without changing pan size.

On a shipboard installation the 440 V/3 ph/60 Hz supply aligns with standard marine switchboards, avoiding step-up or step-down transformers. Total current consumption is quoted at 19.5 Amps, which is modest for 14 kW and helps when several thermaline 90 modules share a panel section. At 700 mm body height and 900 mm depth this one-side operated unit fits the thermaline 90 pattern, so it can sit in line with other 900 mm modules without breaks in the work surface.

Induction on a vessel directly reduces heat load into the galley compared with radiant or open-plate tops, and that matters because any kilowatt not shed into the space is a kilowatt the HVAC plant does not have to pull back out. The IPX6 rating allows cleaning by spray, which is standard practice aboard, and reduces restrictions on how close this unit can sit to pot wash and preparation areas where water is in constant use. Net weight is 85 kg, so the structural implications for the deck and plinth are limited compared with heavier boiling or braising equipment, while still giving a stable platform once fixed.

The 500 mm width makes this a narrow module in the thermaline 90 family. In practice that lets a designer place a focused induction section into a line that may already carry solid tops or gas burners, adding high-response zones without reworking the entire block. Front plate power is listed at 7–0 kW, so the front zone can be taken from full power down to zero, and the back plate is specified at 7 kW, matching the front when full output is needed across both.

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
• Compliant with Swiss Energy Efficiency Ordinance 730.02
• Overheat cut-out
• Front access to components for service
• Metal knobs with hygienic soft-touch grips

This model is a good fit where a galley needs two high-output induction zones in a confined length, or where a thermaline 90 island is being specified with a mix of technologies and a 500 mm module is the available gap. It is not the right choice for a service that depends on a large number of simultaneous small pans, because two zones and a 500 mm width limit how many vessels can be parked hot at once; larger tops in the same series carry that duty better.
