MKN Grill Unit 10018662 – Optima 700

Twenty kilowatts of gas power split over two work zones is what defines the MKN 10018662 grill module in the Optima 700 line. Each grilling surface measures 320 x 510 mm, giving a focused cooking area in an 800 x 700 x 700 mm body that still fits cleanly into a 700 mm-deep cookline.

On a shipboard galley, that 800 x 700 mm footprint makes planning straightforward in an Optima 700 run, especially where the line has to stay tight against a bulkhead. The 700 mm depth matches the series geometry, so the grill can sit in sequence with other modules without steps or overhangs that trap food soil or obstruct cleaning. At a net weight of 95 kg, this is clearly a fixed station appliance rather than something that will ever be moved for cleaning, so its place in the deck layout and coamings needs to be fixed at design stage.

The technical balance here is compact area with enough power density to handle continuous grilling. With two work zones over 320 x 510 mm surfaces, the module offers a defined area per side that suits portioned items and allows one side to be held at a different setting using the separate ergonomic knob controls. The overall 800 mm length gives a standard Optima 700 width, so the unit can be planned as a central grill in a small line, or paired with other 800 mm or 400 mm modules in the same depth family. Gross weight is listed at 106 kg, which is the figure the yard will use when confirming floor loading and handling during installation.

Because the body height is 700 mm, this unit is suited to integration under a common worktop or as part of a block where the working level is set by the surrounding suite rather than by the module itself. In a marine context, that can help keep the effective cooking height aligned with nearby ranges and fryers, avoiding awkward steps that crew have to work across in seaway.

Build and control

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

This grill unit is best used where a galley needs a dedicated two-zone gas grill in a compact Optima 700 footprint, for example in a smaller main galley or a dedicated grill station that shares services with other 700 mm modules. It is less suitable where very large grilling surfaces or more than two independently controlled zones are required; in that case, larger bodies in the same series or a different system should be considered.
