MKN Electric Griddle Plate 2021139A – Ribbed, Optima 850

A 500 x 540 mm ribbed plate on a 600 x 850 mm body defines the footprint of the MKN 2021139A in an Optima 850 line. With one work zone and 7.2 kW connected load, it is a focused electric griddle rather than a multi-zone plate.

On board, the 600 x 850 x 700 mm dimensions make planning straightforward in an Optima 850 suite, as the depth matches the rest of the corpus. That lets the unit sit flush in a cooking line without creating ledges that catch spills. At 77 kg net weight, it is a substantial appliance for its size, so it will need a proper marine fixing strategy, but not the structural reinforcement that a much heavier kettle or bratt pan might demand in the same space.

Electrically, the griddle is specified at 400 V with a total electrical power of 7.2 kW. That figure belongs in the load calculation for the galley distribution board and in the HVAC schedule, because every kilowatt on a griddle ends up as heat in the room if extraction is not sized correctly. A single work zone simplifies operation: one thermostat for the whole 500 x 540 mm area rather than managing several different temperature bands.

The overall height of 700 mm matters for installation under hoods and canopies. It sets the working height of the plate surface once mounted on a plinth or base cabinet, so the galley designer can align it with adjacent modules. Gross weight at 86 kg is the number to carry into logistics and installation planning, particularly where the unit must be moved through narrow companionways before being fixed into the galley block.

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

The stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) construction and self-supporting closed body suit a line where cleaning and visual coherence are priorities. Thermostatic temperature control and ergonomic knob operation make this unit appropriate for a galley where staff rotate and need intuitive controls, and the preparation for connection to an energy optimisation system will interest projects where the main switchboard is tightly managed.

This griddle is the right choice where a single, clearly defined ribbed zone is required within an Optima 850 run and where 7.2 kW can be allocated to one appliance. It is less suitable if the brief calls for multiple independently controlled grilling temperatures on the same surface or for a mixed smooth and ribbed plate in one body size.
