MKN Grill Unit 10018738 – Optima 700

Ten kilowatts of gas power on a single work zone gives the MKN 10018738 grill unit a focused cooking surface for one main production line. The working area is 320 x 510 mm, set inside a 600 x 700 x 700 mm Optima 700 module that drops straight into a standard 700 mm-deep suite.

On a vessel, that 600 mm length matters when building a cooking block around tight bulkhead positions and access routes. Optima 700 bodies are specified for compact galleys, and this unit fits where a longer module would compromise passage width or service clearances. At 700 mm height, it keeps the grilling surface aligned with the rest of a 700 mm corpus line, which simplifies extraction canopy design and splash protection planning above the block.

With one work zone, heat is concentrated over the 320 x 510 mm surface rather than spread across multiple sections. For a marine galley, that simplifies loading patterns: the grill either runs for a dedicated stream of portions or sits idle, instead of part-loaded zones shedding unused heat into the room. The 10 kW gas rating is set for production rather than snack duty, but the modest footprint keeps it usable on smaller vessels where every module must earn its place on the deck.

The 600 x 700 mm footprint is also important for structural integration. It gives enough bearing area for the stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) construction to land on a plinth or support frame while still leaving perimeter space for welding, sealing and deck drainage details demanded in marine galleys. Height at 700 mm keeps the appliance under typical hood lines without forcing compromises on duct positions or fire suppression nozzles.

Build and control

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

The self-supporting closed construction lets this 600 x 700 x 700 mm body be planned either as part of a continuous Optima 700 line or as a standalone grill position without relying on adjacent modules for stiffness. Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout supports the hygiene and cleaning regimes expected in a professional galley, with the added benefit of a uniform material for fabrication and future repair. Ergonomic knob control gives the operator direct, simple management of the 10 kW gas power without the learning curve of a complex electronic interface.

This grill unit is a good fit where a single 320 x 510 mm grilling surface is needed as part of a compact production suite in the Optima 700 system. It is the wrong choice if the requirement is for multiple independently controlled grilling zones or if the galley concept calls for larger-format grilling without adding further modules.
