Electrolux Professional Neutral Base Unit 589800 – thermaline 90, 900 mm Open base, 1 Side (H3) - H=450

Nine hundred millimetres wide and 900 mm deep, the 589800 neutral base is sized as a full-module footprint under a thermaline 90 top. At 450 mm body height it gives a usable cupboard cavity of 680 x 740 x 330 mm while keeping the cooking surface at the intended working level once the matching top is installed.

On a ship this geometry matters as much as the function. A 900 x 900 mm footprint is a planning unit in a thermaline 90 island or wall line, so the base drops under any compatible top without upsetting passage widths or clearances. With a 450 mm structure and an H3 open configuration, the cavity is available for trays or small equipment, but without doors or shelves that can work loose under motion. Net weight is 23 kg, light enough for handling during installation but substantial once fixed to a plinth or feet.

The cupboard cavity dimensions — 680 mm in width, 740 mm in depth and 330 mm in height — define what can realistically be stowed. In practice this gives space for GN containers, chopping boards or baskets that need to sit close to the cooking line, rather than deep bulk storage. Because the external depth is the same 900 mm as the cooking modules, the front face aligns cleanly in a run and the rear can be sealed or flashed to the bulkhead as required by the yard. The thermaline 90 series context means it shares the same modular grid, so designers can alternate neutral bases and heated units without bespoke fabrication.

Hygiene and serviceability sit behind the construction choices. The open H3 base allows quick visual checks and easy access for cleaning, while the rounded internal corners reduce soil retention and simplify washdown in a galley that is often cleaned with hoses rather than cloths. IPX5 protection against water ingress supports that cleaning regime at the equipment level, within the limits of the rating. Because the internal frame is stainless steel, corrosion resistance is not confined to the visible skin, which is a point to consider in salt-laden air.

Build and control

• IPX5 rated against water ingress
• AISI 304 (1.4301) stainless steel construction
• Stainless steel internal frame
• Rounded internal corners for cleaning
• Front access to components for service

Front access to components means the base can remain in its fixed position while maintenance is carried out, an advantage where equipment is welded to deck pads or built onto a plinth. This unit is a solid choice where a 900 mm cooking module needs structural support and a modest amount of open storage directly beneath. It is the wrong choice where enclosed, lockable storage or drawer organisation is required; those applications call for cupboard or drawer bases instead of an open H3 body.
