Electrolux Professional Solid Top Range 589878 – thermaline 90, 4 Zone Freestanding Electric Solid Top, 1 Side, H=700 - H3

Sixteen kilowatts of installed power on a 1000 × 900 mm footprint defines the 589878 solid top range. The usable plate is 820 × 720 mm, so most of the body plan is active cooking surface rather than dead surround.

On a ship this matters twice: galley space is constrained and electrical capacity is budgeted by zone. A 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz supply means the unit ties directly into a standard marine distribution board without a dedicated transformer, and 24 A current draw is a known quantity for the electrical designer. At 700 mm body height and one-side operation, the range fits into a traditional cook line facing out to the servery or into an island where only one chef works the front.

The thermaline 90 construction shows up in the numbers. External dimensions of 1000 × 900 × 700 mm sit over a stainless steel internal frame and a worktop built to DIN 18860-2 with a drop-nose edge, so adjacent modules can be joined with THERMODUL joints to form a continuous surface. The solid top itself offers 820 mm width by 720 mm depth of usable area, which is the working zone where pans can be slid rather than lifted between hotter and cooler spots.

Heating is split into four zones, each quoted at 4 kW both front and back. That allocation gives predictable gradients across the plate and allows the chef to balance loads: heavy boiling at the rear on one pair of zones, sauces and holding at the front on the others. The working temperature range from 100 °C up to 450 °C covers gentle simmering through to high-temperature searing on the same surface. Underneath, the base gives a storage cavity of 680 × 740 × 330 mm (width × depth × height), which is usable volume for pans and utensils without extending the footprint.

Net weight is 193 kg, which is a structural consideration on lighter decks and when deciding between legs and a plinth mounting. The configuration field lists the unit as "On Base; One-Side Operated", so it is intended as a range with integrated storage under, not as a countertop element.

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

The IPX5 rating supports washdown with water jets in line with marine cleaning practice, and front access to components reduces the need to unbolt the unit from its base for service. Standby mode trims idle consumption between services, which on an electrical balance sheet is as significant as peak draw for a solid top that would otherwise run hot all day.

This range is the right choice where a single, continuous plate is preferred over discrete open burners, and where the galley wants one-side operation on a 1000 mm module with built-in storage. It is less suitable in layouts that need two-side access across an island or where a smaller body width is the governing factor. Ordered under Electrolux Professional product number 589878.
