MKN Electric Griddle Plate 10016950 – Smooth, HotLine

5.4 kW connected load at 400 V in a 400 x 700 x 700 mm body defines how the HotLine electric griddle plate 10016950 fits into a cooking line. The 300 x 540 mm smooth plate is arranged as a single work zone, so the entire cooking surface follows one temperature setting.

On a shipboard galley plan, a 400 mm-wide module is typically the piece that finishes a block or fills a narrow gap between existing equipment. Matching 700 mm depth and 700 mm height means this unit can align with other HotLine or comparable cooking bodies so that trays and pans move across without a step. Using a 400 V supply ties in with vessels built around a European-style distribution system, avoiding the need for separate small transformers or non-standard feeds. The 5.4 kW draw is modest enough for laundry- and galley-heavy vessels where spare capacity on the switchboard is limited and every additional appliance has to be justified in the load calculation.

The working surface of 300 x 540 mm sits inside the 400 x 700 mm chassis, giving a defined zone for grilling within a compact footprint. With 1 work zone, the thermostatic temperature control governs the entire plate, which sidesteps operator error where multiple shifts share the same line and a consistent setting is preferable to complex zoning. At 50 kg net weight, and 55 kg gross for transport, the unit has enough mass for a stable installation on a plinth or counter support, yet can still be moved into position through service stairways during a refit. For menu items that are cooked in runs at a single temperature, this simplicity is often more useful than dividing the area into smaller, differently controlled sections.

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

Connection readiness for an energy optimisation system helps where the vessel already uses load management. The griddle can be included in a scheme that sheds or stages non-critical loads during peaks, rather than relying on manual switching. Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout and a self-supporting closed construction simplify cleaning regimes shaped by USPH-style inspection, because there are fewer exposed framework areas to trap soil and less open structure beneath the appliance.

This griddle is the right choice where the galley plan has exactly 400 mm of line space available and the cooking pattern calls for one consistent temperature over a 300 x 540 mm surface. It is the wrong choice where the menu requires several grilling temperatures at once on a single appliance, or where batch sizes clearly exceed what a single 1-zone plate of this size can handle; in those cases, a larger or multi-zone body within the same family should be used instead.
