Electrolux Professional Neutral Base Unit 589808 – thermaline 90, 800 mm Open base, GN conform, 1 Side (H3) - H=450

Eight hundred millimetres of width and a 450 mm body height give the 589808 neutral base unit a compact footprint under thermaline 90 tops. At 22 kg net weight it is light enough to handle during installation, but sized to take a GN-conform load rather than just loose pots.

On a ship this matters in two ways: layout and stowage. An 800 x 900 mm base creates a predictable module for galley designers working around structural frames and coamings, while the H3 open configuration keeps the cupboard cavity accessible for containers and non-perishable items that do not need doors. With a depth of 900 mm it aligns with thermaline 90 cooking modules, so the work line remains flush.

The open base cavity is dimensioned at 580 mm in width, 740 mm in depth and 330 mm in height. That volume is where GN-conform sizing earns its keep, because it can be used for Gastronorm pans, inserts or racking systems rather than improvised storage. The external dimensions at 800 x 900 x 450 mm also keep the unit within the common thermaline 90 base height, simplifying combinations with other 450 mm bases in the same series. For refits, the 22 kg net weight is low enough that the unit can be positioned without specialised lifting gear, which shortens onboard installation windows.

IPX5 rating against water ingress aligns this base with marine galley cleaning practice, where floor and base units are typically washed down. The stainless steel internal frame supports the load of the equipment or worktop above while keeping the understructure in AISI 304 (1.4301), a material choice that matches the rest of the thermaline 90 line. Rounded internal corners in the cavity are there for cleaning access, making it easier to remove soil during routine hygiene rounds.

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 service technicians can reach what they need from the galley side without disturbing adjacent units. That is valuable where bases are sealed to deck foundations and cannot simply be pulled forward.

This base is the right choice where an 800 mm wide, one-side operated thermaline 90 top is specified and the design calls for open H3 storage beneath instead of a closed cupboard. It is less suitable where secure or closed storage is required under the cooking line, in which case a door-equipped base from the same family should be considered.
