Electrolux Professional Neutral Base Unit 589908 – thermaline 90, 200 mm Closed base, 1 Side - H=450

At 200 mm width, the thermaline 90 neutral base unit 589908 is the narrowest closed module in the line. The 450 mm height and 900 mm depth give it the same front and back references as the cooking bodies it finishes.

On a ship, that 200 mm strip is often the leftover space between major appliances or between a run and a bulkhead. Leaving it open becomes a channel for scraps and wash water, which is difficult to clean and hard to defend at inspection. Using a closed neutral base that matches the 900 mm depth closes the void and lets the worktop continue in a straight, unbroken line.

The dimensions define the role: 200 mm in width, 900 mm in depth and 450 mm in height. In plan, it occupies very little deck area, yet it completes the structural run beneath a neutral or finishing top section in a one-side-operated thermaline 90 layout. Net weight is 11.5 kg, so the mechanical stability of the line is dictated by the adjacent modules and the plinth or foundation, with this base acting as an infill that follows their level and alignment.

Construction follows the thermaline 90 standard. AISI 304 (1.4301) stainless steel is used with a stainless steel internal frame, so the closed base behaves like the powered sections when the line is tied down or welded to deck pads. Built to DIN 18860-2 with a drop-nose worktop above, the 589908 preserves the specified front overhang and recessed plinth geometry, which is important where galleys are laid out from CAD and built under class supervision at the yard.

IPX5 rating against water ingress lets the surrounding cleaning regime use hose-down methods without treating this base as a weak point. With THERMODUL jointing at the top interface, the neutral section can be joined tightly to its neighbours so there is no open seam between tops for soil to accumulate. Front access to components is relevant in a fixed shipboard installation, where disturbing a whole thermaline section anchored to a plinth is a significant intervention.

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
• Front access to components for service

This unit is the right choice where the design calls for a narrow, closed section under a neutral or finishing worktop in a one-side thermaline 90 run, and where the priority is a continuous hygienic front line rather than storage. It is the wrong choice for a galley that needs cupboard volume or Gastronorm-organised storage under the top, because 200 mm width does not give meaningful usable space; a wider base in the same series is the appropriate selection in that case.
