Electrolux Professional Induction Wok 589849 – thermaline 90, 1 Zone Induction Wok, 1 Side

5 kW focused into a single 300 mm induction coil is what defines the thermaline 90 wok top 589849. The body is a 500×900×250 mm one-side operated module, so it drops straight into a thermaline 90 line without disturbing the depth of the cooking block.

On a shipboard installation the 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz supply matches the typical 440 V marine distribution, so there is no need for a special transformer or a separate shore-only panel. At 5 kW and a quoted current consumption of 6.8 A, this unit is a modest electrical load compared with heavy boiling or frying modules, which helps where the galley is close to the limit of an existing breaker panel. The 900 mm depth aligns with the rest of the thermaline 90 family, so the wok sits flush in an island, back-to-back, or against-wall line-up specified around that depth.

The induction top itself is dimensioned at 500 mm width by 900 mm depth, carrying the single Ø 300 cooking zone. That geometry leaves clear landing space around the well while keeping the hot zone centred over the induction coil. Net weight is 18 kg, which is light for a thermaline module and simplifies handling during installation or later repositioning in a refit. As a top-only configuration at 250 mm high, the 589849 is intended to sit on a matching base or on a fabricated plinth rather than directly on the deck.

The stainless steel internal frame and AISI 304 (1.4301) construction tie back to the wider thermaline build standard. The unit is built to DIN 18860-2 with a drop-nose worktop, so the front edge, the recessed plinth zone and the interface to adjacent modules are familiar to anyone already working with thermaline 90. THERMODUL jointing allows a seamless run of units, limiting soil traps between this wok and neighbouring tops and reducing the time the crew spend cleaning those interfaces after service.

Build and control

• IPX5 rated against water ingress
• AISI 304 (1.4301) stainless steel construction
• Built to DIN 18860-2 with drop-nose worktop
• THERMODUL jointing for a seamless run of units
• Stainless steel internal frame
• Compliant with Swiss Energy Efficiency Ordinance 730.02
• Digital control display
• Overheat cut-out
• Front access to components for service
• Metal knobs with hygienic soft-touch grips

Digital control and metal knobs with soft-touch grips give the chef precise power setting on the 5 kW zone while keeping the interface simple and readable in a hot galley. The overheat cut-out protects the electronics if a pan is overheated or the air flow around the unit is compromised, which is relevant in tightly packed cooking lines. Front access to components means most service tasks can be carried out without pulling the unit off its base, important where equipment is fixed to the deck or plinth to meet marine hygiene and stability practice.

This wok top is the right choice where a line needs one focused Asian-style station integrated into a thermaline 90 block at 500 mm width. It is the wrong choice if the requirement is multiple wok positions or a larger general-purpose boiling area; in that case, a wider or multi-zone body from the same family should be considered.
