Waldorf RN8600E-B 800 Series - 900mm Electric Cooktop – Bench Model

Waldorf RN8600E-B 800 Series 900mm Electric Cooktop – Bench Model

The Waldorf RN8600E-B is a 900mm wide bench-mounted electric cooktop from the 800 Series, purpose-built for the demands of commercial kitchens. It features six 2.4kW radiant elements totalling 14.4kW of cooking power, each governed by energy regulator controls with six temperature settings including a simmer position, giving chefs precise and repeatable heat management across the full cooking surface.

Constructed from 304 stainless steel throughout, the cooktop incorporates a welded hob with a bull nose edge, vitreous enamelled element modules and hob spill trays, and aluminised steel internal components for durability and straightforward maintenance. The bench model ships with four heavy-duty stainless steel legs fitted with adjustable feet and two additional rollers, making positioning and levelling on the kitchen floor quick and practical. Optional hot plate elements and griddle plates in 300mm, 600mm, or 900mm configurations allow the unit to be tailored to a wider range of cooking applications.

Key Benefits

• Six independent radiant elements with energy regulator controls let different sections of the cooktop operate at entirely different temperatures simultaneously, supporting diverse menu output during peak service.
• Six temperature settings per element, including a dedicated simmer setting, provide the fine heat control needed for delicate sauces and long-hold cooking alongside high-heat searing.
• Vitreous enamelled element modules and hob spill trays are fully removable, making spill clean-up fast and reducing downtime between services.
• Hinge-up element sections and front-of-unit access to all components simplify routine servicing and repairs without requiring the unit to be moved.
• Indicator lights for power and heating status on each element control give kitchen staff at-a-glance confirmation of which zones are active, improving safety and energy awareness.
• Adjustable bench legs (80mm to 105mm height range) plus two rollers allow the unit to be levelled precisely on uneven floors and repositioned with minimal effort.
• Optional 300mm, 600mm, or 900mm griddle plates and hot plate elements mean the cooktop can adapt to changing menu requirements without replacing the entire unit.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs with easy-view settings are designed to withstand the rigours of constant commercial use and remain legible under busy kitchen conditions.
• A 24-month warranty backs the unit, providing confidence in long-term reliability for commercial operators.
