MKN Induction Cooking Table 1223103 – 4 Zone, CounterSL

Fourteen kilowatts of installed power on a 800 x 700 mm body gives the MKN 1223103 a dense cooking capacity in the CounterSL line. At 270 mm high with a 700 x 540 mm working surface, it is sized to sit in low counters or front-cooking runs where sightlines and guest contact matter.

On a vessel, the 400 V electrical supply aligns with typical galley distribution, so the unit can be planned into an existing 400 V busbar rather than requiring a separate single-purpose feed. The 270 mm corpus height keeps the equipment mass low in the furniture, which helps where counters are fixed to lightweight deck structures. At 76 kg gross weight, the table is substantial enough to feel solid in service but still manageable for installation onto a fabricated counter base or plinth that meets the shipyard’s hygiene and fixing rules.

The 700 x 540 mm working surface is a single 6 mm glass-ceramic top, flush with the surrounding worktop. That means pans can be slid on and off the active induction zones without catching on a frame, and cleaning is reduced to wiping a flat plane rather than working around raised edges. Radiused plate corners further cut down on soil traps, so routine wash-down is quicker and less dependent on hand tools or brushes.

Power delivery comes from high-output induction generators controlled by ergonomic knobs rather than a touch panel. That suits a galley that wants clear tactile feedback in a moving environment, with staff gloved or working at speed. Electronic pan detection recognises cookware from 12 cm base diameter and works with PT 1000 overheating protection so zones energise only when a suitable pan is present and back off when excessive temperature is detected in the glass-ceramic field. With 14 kW available on a footprint of 800 x 700 mm, those protections are a practical safeguard for both the surface and the pans under heavy use.

Complying with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens, the table uses stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout. That consistency in material simplifies corrosion expectations and cleaning chemistry aboard, as the same grade is exposed on all accessible external surfaces. The claimed self-supporting closed construction gives the module its own rigidity, so it can be dropped into a counter run as a defined block without relying on surrounding cabinetry for structural strength.

This CounterSL table is a good fit for buffet, front-cooking or auxiliary galley stations that need 14 kW of induction capacity without the height of a full production range. It is the wrong choice where the requirement is under-counter storage or oven capacity, because the 270 mm high body is dedicated entirely to induction hardware rather than cabinets.
