Electrolux Professional Neutral Base Unit 589899 – thermaline 90, 400 mm Cupboard base with 1 door, GN conform, 1 Side (H2) - H=450

Four hundred millimetres of width and a 450 mm overall height give this thermaline 90 neutral base a compact footprint in the cooking line. The cupboard cavity still delivers 340 mm usable width, 330 mm height and 715 mm depth, so it takes GN-conform containers instead of just loose smallware.

On a shipboard line the 900 mm body depth matches other thermaline 90 modules, so this 589899 base can sit under or beside compatible tops without breaking the working edge. The external dimensions of 400 × 900 × 450 mm matter when the galley has to be threaded between bulkheads or around service shafts, because they give the designer a defined block to work with rather than an approximation. A net weight of 22 kg keeps handling straightforward during installation, which helps when units have to move down narrow passages or be positioned accurately on plinths or flanged feet.

Cupboard space is often the first thing lost when a galley is squeezed into the available deck area. Here the 340 × 330 × 715 mm cavity gives a known volume directly beneath or beside the cooking surface for GN-conform containers and utensils, rather than pushing them to remote storage. Because the depth is aligned with the 900 mm body, the hinged door front sits in line with adjacent thermaline 90 appliances and the plinth geometry can run through unchanged, which simplifies deck cleaning and visual inspection along the block.

Those same figures feed into HVAC and workflow planning. Neutral bases like this one do not add heat load to the space, but they do fix how far crew must reach for tools and containers; placing a 400 mm cupboard between active modules creates a landing and storage zone without consuming another full metre of line. The 450 mm height is also part of the ergonomics calculation when combined with tops or freestanding equipment above, because any change in that value shifts the working surface and interaction with extraction hoods and splash zones.

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
• Rounded internal corners for cleaning
• Front access to components for service

This base is the right choice when the requirement is a narrow, one-side-operated GN-conform cupboard as part of a thermaline 90 block, with storage directly under or beside the cooking area. It is the wrong choice where the galley brief calls for significant preparation surface or bulk storage volume, because 400 mm of width and 330 mm of internal height are not intended to cover large stockholding or worktop tasks; in those cases larger bodies in the same series or separate storage furniture should be specified.
