MKN Electric Griddle Plate 2121141A – Ribbed, Optima 700

One ribbed grilling surface measuring 705 x 545 mm and a single work zone: the 2121141A is a focused electric griddle module in the Optima 700 line. At 10.8 kW connected load on 400 V, it is sized for continuous service on a compact 800 x 700 x 700 mm footprint.

On board, that footprint matters because this body is 800 mm long and 700 mm deep, so it drops into an Optima 700 cooking line without pushing the front edge further into the working corridor. The 700 mm overall height keeps the working level in line with adjacent modules and simplifies guardrail and extraction design. A single work zone is often easier to manage in a watch system: one temperature setting, one product flow, and no risk of a second zone being left running unused.

The electrical specification is straightforward: 10.8 kW at 400 V. That places the unit in the range normally handled by a galley distribution board designed for cooking modules, while still delivering the heating power needed for a ribbed plate of 705 x 545 mm. The single zone means the full 10.8 kW is available across the entire cooking surface, rather than being split, which suits repetitive batches of the same item. Net weight is 95 kg, rising to 104 kg gross for shipping and handling calculations, so planning the lifting points and any deck penetration stays manageable even in a retrofit.

With overall dimensions of 800 x 700 x 700 mm, the module lines up with other Optima 700 appliances to form a continuous work surface. The length gives enough room for multiple portions on the ribbed area, while the 700 mm depth is compatible with galley block designs where passage width is tight and the front of the line cannot move further into the walkway. In practice, that lets a designer place this griddle in runs where a larger footprint would obstruct movement or clash with existing bulkheads or furniture.

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

Thermostatic control and knob operation suit crews who need simple, repeatable settings rather than a complex digital interface, especially on vessels with frequent staff rotation. Preparation for connection to an energy optimisation system is relevant where the galley load has to be managed against generator capacity, allowing this 10.8 kW consumer to be integrated into a wider demand-control scheme.

This griddle is the right choice where a single, generous ribbed zone is required in an Optima 700 line and the electrical infrastructure is already at 400 V. It is the wrong choice where independent temperature zones on one plate are required, or where the galley can only accept a shorter or narrower body than 800 x 700 mm.
