MKN Induction Cooking Table 1323106 – Wok, HotLine

One 5 kW induction wok zone on a 500 x 700 mm body sets the scale for the MKN 1323106 in a HotLine run. With a 350 x 350 mm working surface and a single work zone, it is sized as a focused high-output point rather than a general-purpose hob bank.

On board, the compact 500 x 700 x 700 mm footprint makes this unit easy to place in a tight galley line where every module has to earn its space. At 42 kg net weight it is light enough for installation on a stainless plinth or deck-mounted frame without becoming the dominant point load, yet substantial enough to bolt down as part of a hygienic, sealed cooking suite. The 400 V electrical supply aligns with common three-phase shipboard distributions, so the unit can be specified into a main galley or a smaller pantry without special transformers.

The 6 mm glass-ceramic top is flush with the surrounding worktop, so pans can be slid on and off the 350 x 350 mm induction area without catching edges. With only one work zone, control is straightforward: the full 5 kW is available to that single wok, making it suitable for fast-cook applications where heat has to be delivered quickly to the base. Electronic pan detection from 12 cm base diameter ensures that power is only delivered when a suitable vessel is present, which reduces wasted energy and protects the top from empty heating.

Induction also changes the heat balance in the galley. Because energy is coupled directly into the pan via high-output induction generators, less stray heat enters the room from this 5 kW module than from an open electric plate of the same rating. That can ease the burden on the galley ventilation and air-conditioning plant, especially when several HotLine modules are installed together.

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
• 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
• Progressive power characteristic

PT 1000 overheating protection and a progressive power characteristic give the operator predictable behaviour as loads change, which is important with thin-walled woks and rapid cooking cycles. The ergonomic knob control suits a working galley where gloves are common and quick, tactile adjustment is preferred over touch panels at a hot line.

This unit is the right choice where a single dedicated induction wok point is needed in an Optima or HotLine suite, or as a compact standalone wok position in a smaller galley. It is not the right fit where multiple general-purpose boiling or frying points are required on one footprint, because the 1323106 offers only one work zone. Ordered under MKN article number 1323106.
