MKN Electric Griddle Plate 1221131A – Smooth, Ribbed, CounterSL

705 x 545 mm of griddle surface on a single work zone gives the MKN 1221131A a clear role in a compact serving or front-cooking line. With 10.8 kW electrical power at 400 V behind that one plate, the unit concentrates its capacity into a small CounterSL footprint.

The 800 x 700 x 270 mm body height is aligned with the low CounterSL corpus, so it sits cleanly on a counter run in a buffet, bar galley or snack station without dominating the sightline. On a ship where guests can see into the servery, that 270 mm height simplifies counter design and sneeze-guard layout. The 800 x 700 mm footprint is also straightforward for naval architects and outfitters to place in drawings, because it fits into the standard 700 mm depth often reserved for counter equipment without encroaching too far into the walkway.

At 80 kg net weight and 89 kg gross weight, the 1221131A is substantial enough to stay in place in service, yet it does not demand the same structural consideration as heavier range bodies. Those weight figures are useful in the early stages of a refit when checking existing deck structures and counter subframes against the loading they must carry. Once on board, the 400 V supply and 10.8 kW connected load have to be allowed for in the local distribution panel, so the electrical design should allocate a dedicated circuit sized to that demand.

The single work zone simplifies use in service: one thermostatic setting controls the entire 705 x 545 mm surface. For a small crew or a counter station run by one person, this reduces the risk of incorrect settings between different areas of the plate. The combined smooth and ribbed surface allows flat products and items needing branding marks to be cooked on the same plate, without needing to break the CounterSL run into separate dedicated griddles. The 1 work zone specification makes it clear, however, that this is not a multi-zone production griddle.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout ties directly to the hygiene and corrosion expectations in a marine galley. On a vessel where cleaning is done with regular wash-downs and chemical cleaners, an all-1.4301 construction avoids mixed materials that can complicate maintenance. The self-supporting closed construction noted in the specification gives the body the stiffness it needs to be dropped into or set onto a counter structure without relying on external bracing to stay true.

• Ergonomic knob control
• Thermostatic temperature control

The 1221131A is a good fit where a low-height CounterSL unit is needed for focused work on a single 10.8 kW zone, such as a snack counter, bar galley or small crew mess. It is the wrong choice for a main production galley that needs several independently controlled zones or larger bodies tied into a continuous cooking suite, because this model is limited to 1 work zone and an 800 x 700 mm footprint.
