MKN Cooking Module 2021134A – Smooth, Electric, Optima 850

One 300 x 540 mm cooking surface on a 400 x 850 mm body gives the 2021134A a compact footprint with a full-size working zone. With 5.4 kW of electrical power behind that single zone, this Optima 850 module is specified for focused production rather than a light-duty keep-warm plate.

At 400 x 850 x 700 mm, the dimensions align with the Optima 850 line depth, so the unit drops into a continuous cooking suite without overhangs or steps that catch pans. Net weight is 59 kg, rising to 67 kg gross, which is light enough for installation on an upper deck yet substantial enough to feel stable once fixed to a plinth or flanged into a marine worktop. The 400 V supply suits common three-phase shipboard distributions; taken together with 5.4 kW connected load, that figure feeds directly into the galley’s electrical and heat-load calculations.

The single work zone is the defining choice here. One zone at 5.4 kW means one pan position under full control, useful where a specific cooking task repeats through service and does not justify a multi-zone module. The smooth plate is sized to the 300 x 540 mm working surface, and the 700 mm height aligns with standard working levels in an Optima 850 installation. In a tight galley run this keeps pan moves predictable and avoids awkward level changes between modules.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout gives the body and visible surfaces a corrosion-resistant base suitable for a galley environment, provided cleaning water and detergents are managed correctly. For the yard and the electrician, the 400 V rating and 5.4 kW electrical power simplify cable sizing and protective device selection; no transformer or unusual breaker ratings are implied by the data given. Where an energy optimisation system is in use across the galley, the prepared connection point on this module lets it be integrated into that load-management strategy.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• Ergonomic knob control
• Prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system
• Thermostatic temperature control

This module fits where a line of Optima 850 equipment needs a single smooth electric hob for sauces, finishing or a specific production step, without committing to a wider multi-zone body. It is the wrong choice where several pans must be held at different settings at once; in that case a wider or multi-zone module from the same series should be considered to avoid overloading one surface.
