MKN Ceramic Cooking Table 1223402 – CounterSL

9.2 kW on a single work zone concentrated into a 700 x 540 mm glass-ceramic surface gives this CounterSL module enough output for fast front-cooking and snack work. The body is held to 800 x 700 x 270 mm, so it drops into a low counter line without dominating the serving side.

At 270 mm corpus height this unit is clearly aimed at counter installations rather than a main production block. That matters aboard, where front-cooking stations, crew mess servery lines and snack bars are often height-limited by sightlines and overhead fittings, and where equipment still has to meet the same hygiene and cleanability demands as the main galley. Running at 400 V keeps it compatible with typical shipboard distribution systems specified around three-phase supplies, rather than relying on a light-duty circuit.

The 6 mm glass-ceramic top is built flush with the surrounding worktop, so pans can be slid on and off the 700 x 540 mm working surface without catching an edge. Radiused plate corners reduce soil traps and simplify cleaning, which is important when galleys are washed down on a tight watch schedule. With one work zone, heat management is straightforward: there is no confusion about which area is live, and the graphical marking on the plate makes the active zone obvious even to transient staff.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) is used throughout the body, giving a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface suited to the salt-laden, humid environment around a shipboard counter. The published net and gross weights of 3 kg and 47 kg need to be read as a logistics figure as much as a technical one: the unit is light enough to be handled into tight spaces and yet specified for secure mounting into a counter frame rather than free-standing use.

Build and control

• Complies with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens
• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• 6 mm glass-ceramic top, flush with the worktop
• Radiused plate corners for easy cleaning; heating zones graphically marked
• Ergonomic knob control
• Electronic pan detection from 12 cm base diameter

Ergonomic knob control keeps operation simple in a service environment where the cooking station may be staffed by different crew members across the day. Electronic pan detection from 12 cm base diameter avoids the plate heating needlessly when no suitable pan is present, which helps manage both energy use and heat build-up on the serving line.

This module is the right choice where a compact, visually clean ceramic cooking surface is needed in a CounterSL run, such as a buffet, bistro or snack counter aboard. It is not the right fit for a heavy-production main galley line that needs multiple simultaneously controlled zones or integration into a deeper Optima body. Ordered under MKN article number 1223402.
