Lainox Naboo Boosted Electric Combi Oven 16x 1/1 GN NAE161BV

The Lainox Naboo Boosted NAE161BV is a high-capacity electric combination oven that combines two independent cooking chambers into a single stacked unit — a six-grid upper oven and a ten-grid lower oven — giving a total capacity of sixteen 1/1 GN positions. Both chambers operate with the full range of convection, steam, and combination cooking modes, making this a genuinely versatile piece of kit capable of handling the breadth of a complex menu from a single footprint.

In a busy kitchen environment, the ability to run two independent ovens simultaneously — each with its own programming, its own cooking cycle, and its own recovery characteristics — makes a material difference during peak service. A kitchen can be steaming fish in one chamber while running combination roasting in the other, without either process compromising the other. The boilerless direct steam system removes the need for a separate steam generator, which simplifies installation and reduces maintenance overhead compared with boiler-based alternatives.

Each chamber is controlled via its own dedicated 10-inch full-colour touch screen. The interface is practical rather than ornate — commonly used recipes can be pinned to the home screen for single-touch recall, and the full recipe library can be organised into folders to suit how a kitchen actually works. Multilevel cooking functionality allows dishes with different cooking times to run concurrently at the same temperature, with the oven identifying compatible recipes automatically. In practical terms, this supports more efficient use of oven space and reduces the coordination burden on kitchen staff during service.

• Independent dual chambers allow different cooking modes to run simultaneously
• Boilerless direct steam eliminates the need for an external steam generator
• Recipes organised into folders for quick access during busy service periods
• Multilevel cooking reduces idle capacity and improves throughput
• Stainless steel construction suited to the demands of daily commercial use

Installation requires careful planning. At 230kg and standing over two metres tall, this unit demands a robust floor surface, adequate ceiling clearance, and appropriate access during delivery and positioning. As an electric model it will require a suitably rated electrical supply — this should be confirmed with a qualified electrician before purchase. Ventilation requirements will depend on your kitchen configuration; canopy extraction above the unit is standard practice and should be assessed as part of any installation plan. The footprint is substantial, and this is not a unit suited to compact or low-ceiling kitchens.

This oven is best suited to high-volume operations — hotel kitchens, large contract catering sites, central production units, and established restaurants running multiple sittings with complex menus. The dual-chamber format makes it particularly well suited to kitchens that need to run differentiated cooking processes simultaneously without the operational complexity of managing two entirely separate appliances. For smaller operations, a single-chamber model from the Naboo range would be a more proportionate choice; for sites with even greater throughput demands, it is worth discussing whether an alternative configuration would serve better.

If you're working through the specification for a new kitchen or a major equipment refresh, it's worth talking through your service volumes and kitchen layout with us before committing — a unit of this scale and investment deserves a considered conversation.
