Top Highlights

Operating and design concept OPTIMA Control

The new OPTIMA combines manual operation and digital technology. The OPTIMA Control system is the digital and analogue operating system in the new generation OPTIMA, consisting of the OPTIMA pilot, display and MKN premium steel rotary knob. Its state-of-the-art sleek design makes it resistant against water, shocks and high temperatures - simply perfect for large-scale professional kitchens.

Easy Handling

The Easy Handling system is an MKN innovation and lets you easily position the kettle lid with just one finger. MKN's in-house developed lid swivel joint for the Easy Handling system is maintenance-free and intrinsically safe and also meets the requirements of the DIN 18855-1 standard.

New hygiene and water protection standard

The new control panel convinces with its seamless, laser-welded design, optimized drip edge and rounded corners (R20) for maximum hygiene and easy cleaning. MKN offers IPX6 protection against powerful water jets as well as waterproof and dirt-resistant H2 hygienic cabinets, optionally equipped with embossed drawer slides (rails) and tilt protection for more safety and robustness.

Automation

Electronic litre precision water filling, eg. in cooking kettles, ensures consistent quality, reduces energy and water consumption and increases process safety. In addition, the Easy Lift function with automatic lifting system in deep fat fryers combined with automated cooking processes optimise the daily work routine and make life easier for kitchen staff.

MKN MultiSafe Connect

MultiSafe Connect is a further step in the evolution of modern commercial kitchen solutions that connects modules tightly and stably. It prevents liquid flow as well as sharp worktop edges. Its moisture barrier and heat resistance make it hygienic and durable and an easy-to-install alternative to conventional connection systems.

FrySafe^® – Safer use of deep fat fryers

The MKN FrySafe^®safety feature monitors temperature and minimum oil level with an electronic safety temperature limiter, ensuring precise control. Self-sufficient fail-safe system ensures maximum safety in kitchens.

One hand operation for deep fat fryers

The specially developed swivel joint allows you to pivot the heating element in and out with just one hand. The heating element remains in a safe pivoted position automatically, preventing it from accidentally falling into hot oil.
