Electrolux Professional Pasta Cooker 589864 – thermaline 90, 40 lt Well Freestanding Electric Pasta Cooker, 1 Side, H=700

Ten kilowatts into a single 40 lt well is the defining figure on the 589864 pasta cooker. In a 400 x 900 mm footprint with a 700 mm body height, it gives a compact but dedicated pasta station that still sits within the thermaline 90 modular line.

On board, the 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz supply matches standard marine switchboard practice, so the unit can be fed from the same distribution as the rest of a thermaline block rather than needing a special feed. At 70 kg net weight it is a stable freestanding body that can be tied into a plinth or flanged-foot arrangement according to the yard’s hygiene and stability rules. The 3/4" incoming cold or hot water line and 1" drain line are typical galley services and simplify integration into existing risers.

The single well has usable internal dimensions of 300 mm width, 515 mm depth and 320 mm height. Within that envelope the water capacity runs from a 38 lt minimum to a 40 lt maximum, giving enough volume to work multiple baskets without crowding the water surface. The thermostat range is 40 °C MIN; 90 °C MAX, which keeps control firmly within the cooking and holding band rather than pushing into boiling-pan duty. That is an advantage where the priority is repeatable pasta texture rather than aggressive rolling boil.

External dimensions of 400 mm width, 900 mm depth and 700 mm height mean this unit occupies a single 400 mm thermaline module on base, one-side operated. It can therefore sit in line with other 900 mm deep thermaline 90 appliances using the same 20 mm drop-nose worktop geometry defined by DIN 18860-2, allowing a continuous run with no soil traps between units. Current consumption is quoted at 13.2 Amps, which is modest for a 10 kW appliance on a three-phase marine supply and eases panelboard loading calculations.

Build and control

• IPX5 rated against water ingress
• AISI 304 (1.4301) stainless steel construction
• AISI 316L stainless steel in wetted parts
• 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
• Digital control display
• Standby mode for reduced idle consumption
• Front access to components for service
• Metal knobs with hygienic soft-touch grips

The use of AISI 316L in the wetted parts is significant in a marine galley where chlorides from both salt and detergents are present; the more corrosion-resistant material is placed exactly where it is needed, while AISI 304 (1.4301) covers the general construction. IPX5 protection allows the unit to live in a wash-down environment where deck and equipment are cleaned with spray, provided the ship’s procedures stay within the IPX5 jet envelope.

This 38–40 lt, single-well body is the right choice for a line that needs a dedicated pasta function in a narrow bay, or as one element in a longer thermaline 90 island. It is less suitable where very high output or multiple production streams are required from one position; in that case the larger bodies or multi-well units in the same family should be examined.
