MKN Electric Griddle Plate 1321136A – Smooth, Ribbed, HotLine

7.2 kW on a 420 x 545 mm plate gives the 1321136A enough surface load for continuous service on a compact footprint. At 500 x 700 x 700 mm overall, this HotLine griddle fits into a half-metre module while still carrying a full-depth cooking surface.

Space and power density are usually the deciding factors for griddles aboard. A 500 mm-wide body leaves room for adjacent modules on a narrow line, while the 700 mm depth matches typical galley counter runs, avoiding dead strips behind the unit. With 7.2 kW connected load at 400 V, the electrical planner can treat it as a defined block in the cooking circuit rather than a variable load, and the 70 kg net weight is light enough for straightforward handling during installation.

The plate combines smooth and ribbed zones in a single work area, with one work zone specified for control. That single-zone control suits operations where the whole 420 x 545 mm surface is used at a common temperature, rather than split-temperature fine work. Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout provides a consistent material specification; in practice that simplifies both hygiene routines and spare-part decisions because all exposed construction is in the same grade.

Net weight is quoted at 70 kg, with 80 kg gross, so the difference between delivered and installed mass is small. That helps when calculating deck loadings and assessing what lifting aids are required to bring the unit on board and into position. The 700 mm height puts the working surface in line with other HotLine elements, which matters when pans and trays are being slid from one appliance to the next across a continuous run.

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

Prepared connection to an energy optimisation system is relevant where several 7.2 kW appliances share a limited galley supply; the griddle can take part in a load-shedding scheme rather than tripping breakers under peak demand. Thermostatic temperature control with ergonomic knob operation keeps the interface simple for watches rotating through the galley, avoiding a learning curve on complex electronic controls.

This unit is a good fit where a single, moderately sized griddle is needed in a 500 mm module, and where the menu justifies a combined smooth and ribbed surface rather than multiple specialised plates. It is less suitable where separate temperature zones across a wider plate are required, or where the ship’s standard voltage differs from 400 V and matching variants are not specified.
