MKN Electric Griddle Plate 1221134A – Smooth, CounterSL

Five point four kilowatts on a single smooth plate gives the 1221134A enough surface performance for a focused grill station without taking more than 400 x 700 mm of counter length and depth. The working surface itself is 300 x 540 mm, so most of the module footprint is usable cooking area.

At 270 mm corpus height this CounterSL unit is intended for low-level counters and front-cooking layouts rather than a main production island. That height matters in a shipboard mess line or buffet where the cooking surface has to sit below the sightline, and where extraction can be integrated into a front counter rather than a ceiling canopy. The compact 400 x 700 mm footprint helps designers thread hot stations into tight serving counters, and the published net weight of 42 kg is a number a yard can use when checking deck loading and support under lightweight furniture systems.

The griddle runs at 400 V with an electrical power rating of 5.4 kW. That places it in the range where it can be grouped with other light-duty appliances on a shared galley sub-distribution panel without immediately exhausting the allocation. One work zone covers the full 300 x 540 mm plate, so heat distribution is uniform across the surface instead of split between separately controlled halves. For a small-crew vessel or a snack station this simplifies operation: one thermostat, one indicator zone, no second set of controls to mis-set during service.

Dimensions at 400 x 700 x 270 mm also influence the HVAC and hygiene picture. A shallow body leaves space above and behind for ductwork and cable runs inside a counter base, and the low overall height keeps the hot surface closer to the capture area of a modest front hood. Gross weight is quoted at 50 kg for shipping, which is what the logistics team and yard handling equipment need to be sized against.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• Ergonomic knob control
• Thermostatic temperature control

This module is a good fit where a single smooth zone is enough: cafés, crew mess counters and snack bars that need a straightforward 5.4 kW grill surface on a 400 mm-wide line. It is the wrong choice for a main galley bulk production line expecting split zones or multiple independent work areas; in that case larger bodies or multi-zone units from the same manufacturer are the better reference.
