MKN Electric Griddle Plate 8EGRP040DFGS

4.4 kW of FlexPower on a single heating zone defines the MKN 8EGRP040DFGS electric griddle plate. That concentration of load into one area suits focused cooking on a compact footprint rather than a multi-zone block.

The electrical supply is specified as 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz, which aligns with standard three-phase galley distribution rather than a domestic single-phase feed. Fuse protection at 3×16 A keeps the circuit rating moderate, so the unit can usually be integrated into an existing galley board without a dedicated high-amperage feeder. For refit projects this can avoid rewiring back to the main switchboard.

With one heating zone, the plate is set up for consistent temperature over the whole surface rather than segment control. In practice this simplifies operation where the menu does not demand different temperatures side by side. The 4.4 kW FlexPower rating gives enough headroom for searing and recovery after loading within that single zone, without the step up in installed power that a larger multi-zone griddle would impose on the vessel’s electrical balance.

The IPX6 protection rating is a key point in a marine galley. IPX6 covers high-pressure water jets, so the machine is specified to tolerate hose-down cleaning in line with typical shipboard routines, where bulkhead and equipment surfaces are washed rather than wiped. This matters for both hygiene and labour planning: the unit can stay in place during regular washdowns instead of being shielded or cleaned separately by hand.

Build and control

• IP-rated water protection with IPX6 ingress rating
• Radiused internal corners for hygienic cleaning
• Hinged lid

Radiused internal corners reduce soil traps and make it easier for crew to reach all food-contact surfaces during cleaning, which is a recurring inspection point in professional galleys. The hinged lid gives the operator a way to control splatter and vapour locally above the plate, and provides a protective cover when the unit is not in use; it also keeps wash water off the plate surface during more aggressive cleaning of adjacent equipment.

This model is a strong fit where a galley needs a compact, single-zone griddle with 4.4 kW on a standard 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz supply and wants IPX6 for pressure-jet cleaning. It is the wrong choice where separate temperature zones across a wide plate are required, or where the electrical design cannot spare a 3×16 A circuit and must stay with smaller loads.
