Electrolux Professional Solid Top Range 589872 – thermaline 90, 4 Zone Electric Solid Top with Ecotop, 1 Side

Sixteen kilowatts on a 1000 x 900 mm footprint defines the 589872 solid top: enough power spread across a single plate to work multiple pans at once. The usable Ecotop surface is 820 x 720 mm, so most of the deck space is live cooking area rather than framing.

On a shipboard line this 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz configuration drops straight onto the standard marine distribution without special transformers. Current draw is 26 Amps, which gives the electrical engineer a clear figure for the panel schedule and diversity calculations. Height is 250 mm as a top-only module, so it can sit on an H=450 mm thermaline base, a plinth or a cantilever frame according to how the galley is laid out and how cleaning under the line is managed.

Working temperature ranges from 100 °C up to 450 °C. That spread lets the same surface handle simmering and high-heat searing without swapping equipment, which matters in a galley where every extra appliance adds to both installed load and ventilation demand. With 4 x 4 kW front plate power and 4 x 4 kW at the back, the heat is distributed so that the chef can zone the top, keeping active pans to one side and holding on the other. On a moving vessel that layout flexibility is often more practical than a bank of open burners.

The 160 kg net weight reflects the stainless steel internal frame and solid plate mass, which help the unit sit securely when fixed down and resist distortion over time. As a one-side operated top it suits a line against a bulkhead or an island where only one face is active service. Being part of the thermaline 90 family, the module shares the 900 mm depth that lets it couple cleanly to other 90-line pieces.

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

Standby mode is relevant on a ship where generators often run close to their design point: the top can stay hot enough to recover quickly without drawing full 16 kW between services. Front access to components means the unit can be installed hard up to a bulkhead or in a tight run and still be serviced without unbolting it from the deck or plinth, which reduces downtime in a working galley.

This is the right choice where a single, large solid surface is preferred over individual rings, such as a main galley handling mixed pan sizes or frequent pot changes. It is the wrong choice where the cooking requirement is very low-volume or intermittent; in that case a smaller body in the same line will save both deck space and electrical capacity.
