Electrolux Professional Solid Top Range 589868 – thermaline 90, 2 Zone Electric Solid Top with Ecotop, 1 Side

A usable solid-top area of 360 x 730 mm on a 500 x 900 mm body defines the 589868 as a narrow Ecotop module for a dense cooking line. Total installed power is 6 kW across two zones, with a working band from 100 °C to 450 °C for searing, sautéing and gentle holding on the same plate.

The unit is built as a 250 mm-high top for the thermaline 90 system, specified for one-side operation. That height lets a designer place it on standard thermaline bases or freestanding sections without stepping the work surface, which matters where several modules have to form a level run along a bulkhead. At 75 kg net weight it is substantial enough to stay stable when loaded but still manageable to move into position on board during installation or refit.

Supply is 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz with a current draw of 11.8 Amps, so it integrates into a typical 440 V marine distribution without special provision. For a ship’s electrical plant, 6 kW is a modest allocation for a main galley hob, making this unit attractive where the switchboard margin is tight or where several smaller cooking points are preferred over one large solid top. The front and back plates are each listed at 3 - 0 kW, allowing either half of the 360 mm-wide usable surface to be energised or idled according to the service pattern.

The 900 mm external depth matches the thermaline 90 footprint, so the 589868 can be joined to adjacent modules using the THERMODUL system to create a continuous cooking suite. That jointing, together with the drop-nose worktop profile, limits exposed seams where soil can settle, which is significant for vessels working to USPHS-style hygiene inspections. One-side operation keeps all controls on the galley side of the line, simplifying splash protection and staff circulation on a moving deck.

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
• Digital control display
• Overheat cut-out
• Standby mode for reduced idle consumption
• Front access to components for service
• Metal knobs with hygienic soft-touch grips

IPX5 protection supports hose-down cleaning regimes common in shipboard galleys, within the limits of the rating, without exposing internal components to spray beyond their test level. The stainless steel internal frame and AISI 304 (1.4301) construction give the mass and surface quality needed for a plate that has to hold temperature while pans are moved across the 360 x 730 mm usable area. Standby mode helps cut idle consumption between peaks when the plate can sit below full service temperature.

This 500 mm-wide, 2-zone solid top is the right choice where the galley layout only allows a narrow Ecotop section or where it supplements other primary hobs with a compact finishing surface. It is the wrong choice as the sole hob for a high-volume main galley that must run several large pans at once across a broad surface; that duty calls for larger bodies within the same line or additional modules alongside this one.
