Product Description
The Lainox Compact Manual is a ten-grid, full-size electric injection combi oven designed for consistent, high-throughput cooking in professional kitchen environments. Injection-based steam generation delivers precise humidity control throughout the cooking cycle, making it suitable for a broad range of cooking methods — from gentle steam cooking through to high-temperature convection roasting and combined combi modes. The manual control interface keeps operation straightforward for kitchen teams without extensive combi-oven experience, while the 99 programmable cooking cycles with up to four steps per programme support standardisation across shifts and service periods.
In a busy service environment, the ten-grid capacity allows operators to run multiple dishes simultaneously, supporting high covers without compromising consistency. The programmable cycles reduce reliance on individual chef judgement, which matters during peak service when attention is divided. The multipoint core temperature probe adds a further layer of reliability, ensuring product reaches the correct internal temperature without requiring manual checking — particularly useful when running roasts, poultry, or large joints alongside other menu items.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages for kitchen teams are:
- Up to 99 stored programmes with multi-step customisation for consistent results across services
- Multipoint probe for accurate core temperature control without manual intervention
- Injection steam system supports a wide range of cooking modes from pure steam to full combi
- Robust stainless steel construction suited to the demands of daily commercial use
- Manual interface that is accessible without specialist training
Being a three-phase unit, this oven requires a three-phase electrical supply — this is a non-negotiable installation requirement and should be confirmed with your electrician or site surveyor before ordering. The oven is compact in footprint relative to its ten-grid capacity, but at 79kg it will require appropriate handling during installation. Adequate ventilation is essential; the unit should be installed either beneath a suitable extraction canopy or with a condensation hood where ducted extraction is not available. GN trays are sold separately — see the Accessories tab.
The ten-grid configuration makes this oven well suited to mid-to-high volume operations: hotel kitchens, contract catering sites, busy restaurant back-of-house, and school or workplace catering facilities with consistent daily covers. Sites with lighter throughput requirements may find a smaller six-grid model a more practical fit, while very high-volume central production or banqueting operations may benefit from a larger capacity unit.
If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your service volume, menu requirements, or site installation conditions, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — this oven runs on three-phase power only, so confirming your site has an adequate three-phase supply and sufficient amperage is essential before ordering. Beyond the electrical supply, you will need to plan for suitable ventilation, either via a ducted extraction canopy above the unit or a condensation hood if ducted extraction is not available. The unit weighs 79kg, so access and handling during delivery and installation also needs consideration.
- The ten-grid configuration is a strong fit for mid-to-high volume operations — hotel kitchens, contract catering, busy restaurant kitchens, and education or workplace catering sites with consistent daily throughput. If your service volume is lighter or more intermittent, a six-grid model may offer a better balance of capacity and running cost. For very high-volume or central production environments, a larger unit may be worth considering.
- Injection steam systems generate steam directly inside the oven cavity rather than via a separate boiler, which generally means a simpler internal setup and fewer components to service. In practical terms, the cleaning and descaling routine is typically more straightforward than on a boiler-based unit, though the frequency will depend on your local water hardness and volume of use. Regular cleaning and periodic descaling remain important for maintaining performance and longevity.
