MKN Electric Griddle Plate 1221136A – Smooth, Ribbed, CounterSL

7.2 kW into a 420 x 545 mm plate defines what this CounterSL griddle can carry at peak service. In a 500 x 700 x 270 mm body with a single work zone, it is sized for focused cooking runs where every millimetre of counter depth is already committed.

On board, the 270 mm height lets this unit disappear into a low counter line rather than stand as a tall module on the deck, which is often the constraint in front-cooking, mess and buffet layouts. The 700 mm depth matches typical counter runs so it can be planned flush with other equipment, while the 500 mm length leaves space for adjacent drop-in wells or refrigeration without widening the aisle. At 400 V and 7.2 kW, the connection value is known in advance for the electrical balance, which matters when several CounterSL appliances share a sub-distribution.

The 420 x 545 mm working surface is the planning figure for portions. It is wide enough to hold a line of portions across the 545 mm side, while the smooth/ribbed split supports two cooking effects on the same plate. With just one work zone, the whole 420 x 545 mm area tracks a single thermostatic setpoint, so an operator does not have to manage several temperatures on a compact station. That suits simple snack, breakfast or short-order menus where consistency of one setting is more important than multi-zone flexibility.

Net weight is 52 kg with a quoted 60 kg gross. The 52 kg figure is what the counter construction has to carry during service, and the 60 kg gross is what the yard or contractor must handle during transport and installation. In practice, a 500 x 700 mm footprint at 52 kg gives enough mass that the unit sits solidly once fixed to the counter frame, while still being manageable for positioning. The specified dimensions of 500 x 700 x 270 mm allow cut-outs, upstands and splash guards to be detailed accurately before the unit arrives on board.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout is part of the hygiene and durability calculation in a galley using aggressive cleaning agents and hot water jets. A closed construction makes it easier to keep the 270 mm body exterior clean, as there are fewer exposed seams where grease and debris can lodge. In combination, these figures give a designer enough data to place the griddle early in the project, rather than leaving its integration to site.

Build and control

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

This griddle is the right choice where a low 270 mm build, a 500 x 700 mm footprint and a single 7.2 kW zone match a CounterSL counter run and a modest snack or breakfast load. It is the wrong choice for a main galley that needs several independently controlled zones or a larger continuous frying surface; in that case, the designer should move to bigger bodies in the same line rather than multiplying small single-zone units.
