MKN Induction Cooking Table 1323101 – 2 Zone, HotLine

Seven kilowatts of electrical power concentrated into a 305 x 540 mm working surface gives the HotLine 1323101 the punch to run as a primary hob on a compact cooking line. At 400 x 700 x 700 mm overall, it occupies a single narrow module, so it can be dropped into a run where deck area is already committed to ovens and refrigeration.

On a shipboard installation, that 400 V rating means the unit ties directly into a standard three-phase galley sub-distribution without adaptation hardware. The 400 x 700 mm footprint aligns with typical modular cooking dimensions, so the table can sit flush with adjacent equipment and still respect cleaning clearances to bulkheads and deckheads defined at the layout stage. At 52 kg net weight (58 kg gross for handling and logistics planning), it is a fixed appliance rather than something that will ever be moved for cleaning, so coamings, flanged feet or a welded plinth are a design decision around it.

The single work zone is set into a 6 mm glass-ceramic top, flush with the worktop. Flush mounting avoids pot edges catching on transitions and removes seams that trap soil, and the radiused plate corners reduce the effort needed to keep the hob clean during inspection-driven wash-downs. Within that 305 x 540 mm working surface, the high-output induction generators bring pans up to temperature quickly while keeping most of the heat in the cookware rather than in the galley air.

Control is via ergonomic knobs, which suits crews who prefer a direct, tactile setting rather than a touchscreen. Electronic pan detection engages from a 12 cm base diameter, so power is only delivered when a suitable pan is present on the zone, and the PT 1000 overheating protection monitors temperature to protect the glass-ceramic and electronics under heavy use. With 7 kW available on a single electrical connection, an electrical panel designer can reserve capacity and breakers accordingly on the 400 V bus.

Build and control

• Complies with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens
• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• 6 mm glass-ceramic top, flush with the worktop
• Radiused plate corners for easy cleaning; heating zones graphically marked
• Ergonomic knob control
• Heated by high-output induction generators
• High efficiency, low energy consumption
• Electronic pan detection from 12 cm base diameter
• PT 1000 overheating protection

This configuration suits a line where a compact, single-zone induction table is needed to supplement other cooking modules, or where the galley design calls for a narrow 400 mm body and a 700 mm depth. It is not the right choice where multiple independent zones are required on one body or where a larger working surface is needed for stockpots or multi-pan service, in which case larger induction modules in the same family should be considered.
