INITIAL INSTALLATION AND START-UP TIPS
WALLAS 85 DU & DP COOKTOP
The 85 series Wallas cook-top is the third generation of cooking devices
from this Finnish company. Starting in 1995, Wallas introduced a #2 diesel
fueled cook-top called the Model 95D, designed primarily for the North
American market. This model was manufactured through 2005.
Though primarily intended for “recreational” use, many 95Ds were placed
into “commercial” use, with reasonable success, and most units,
recreational and commercial, are still in service today. Most 95Ds sold
here in North America were fitted with the model 25 blower lid, that
combination of stove and lid was marketed as the 125D. Early 25 lids had
a wood veneer top, while the later 25E models had a tooled metal top.
In 2006, the current Model 85 started into production. This model grew out
of the information received from nearly 10,000 Model 95D’s sold
throughout the world. Some of the major improvements in the model 85D
over the model 95D include a dramatically strengthened “case” with a
“bonded” ceramic surface, a highly refined PC board with internal hour
meter, and super long life “brushless” motors for combustion and heating.
As of 2011, over 8,000 of these 85D units have been sold and have proven
to have a very robust design and a significantly longer service interval
than the Model 95D. Blower and combustion fan life is many times that of
the 95D.
