MKN Chip Warmer 1220601 – CounterSL

At 400 x 700 x 270 mm, the MKN 1220601 chip warmer fits into the low-height CounterSL line without demanding more than a slim 400 mm module width. With a single work zone and a 305 x 510 x 215 mm working surface, it is sized for one GN 1/1 container rather than a multi-well bank, which suits small hot holding points on a serving counter.

The 270 mm corpus height is the figure that matters in a shipboard front-cooking or buffet setting. It keeps the unit low enough to sit on a counter without blocking sightlines, while still giving a 215 mm deep well to hold product in a GN 1/1 container. In a confined servery on a ferry or crew mess, that balance between equipment height and usable depth helps keep the counter workable for both staff and guests.

Electrically, the chip warmer is specified at 230 V with an electrical power of 1 kW. That low connected load allows several CounterSL appliances to share a modest circuit, or a single unit to be added to an existing counter without major changes to the ship’s distribution panel. For galleys where the main cooking is on a 400–440 V / 50–60 Hz backbone and counter equipment is fed from local transformers, the 1 kW rating keeps the impact on the electrical balance limited.

The working surface of 305 x 510 x 215 mm is dimensioned to accept GN 1/1 containers, as stated in the features. That means standard pans already in the ship’s inventory can be dropped straight into the well for holding fries or other fried side dishes. With one work zone, temperature control and monitoring remain straightforward, and there is no risk of staff confusing settings between multiple wells on a busy service.

Net weight is 20 kg, with a gross weight of 27 kg for transport. On a vessel, that has two consequences: handling at installation remains manageable, and any plinth or counter reinforcement can be sized with a clear figure rather than guesswork. The self-supporting closed construction described in the features means the unit carries its own structural integrity, so it can be integrated into a CounterSL block or used as a single module without additional framing from adjacent appliances.

Build and control

• Self-supporting closed construction
• Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) wetted parts
• Ergonomic knob control
• Accepts GN 1/1 containers

This configuration is the right choice where one GN 1/1 hot holding position is needed on a low front-cooking counter, and the electrical reserve for that station is around 1 kW at 230 V. It is not the right fit for a main galley pass that needs multiple independent holding zones or higher total capacity; in that case, several modules or a larger body size from the same brand should be considered.
