Lainox Naboo Boosted Gas Combi Oven 16x 1/1 GN NAG161BV

The Lainox Naboo Boosted NAG161BV is a stacked gas combination oven providing 16 full-size 1/1 GN rack positions in a single floor-standing unit. It is formed by combining a 6-grid and a 10-grid oven into one integrated column, each section operating as a fully independent oven with its own controls. Gas direct steam generation removes the need for a separate steam boiler, which simplifies installation and reduces maintenance points relative to traditional boiler-based combi systems.

In a busy service environment, the ability to run both oven sections simultaneously and independently is significant. A kitchen can run a pastry programme in the upper cavity while holding a high-humidity roasting cycle in the lower, without either process compromising the other. The multilevel cooking intelligence allows menu items with different cook times to share a cycle at the same temperature, which reduces idle oven time during service and helps kitchen teams manage output more efficiently across a full menu.

From a practical standpoint, the dual 10-inch full-colour touch screens are well considered for a fast-moving kitchen. Each screen operates the relevant oven section and can be configured to reflect the kitchen's menu structure — frequently used programmes can be surfaced on the home screen, and recipes can be organised into folders, which is useful in kitchens where multiple team members are operating the equipment at different skill levels. Key operational advantages include:

• Independent dual-cavity operation for simultaneous multi-programme cooking
• Boilerless gas direct steam — fewer components to maintain or replace
• Home-screen recipe shortcuts reducing the steps needed to start a cook cycle
• Folder-based recipe organisation suited to larger, varied menus
• Three cooking modes — convection, steam, and combination — accessible directly from the home screen

Installation of a unit this size requires careful planning. At 240kg and over two metres tall, access routes, floor loading, and positioning all need to be confirmed before delivery. The unit requires a gas supply of appropriate specification, adequate extraction and ventilation above, and sufficient clearance around the unit for safe operation and cleaning access. Given its footprint and height, it is not suitable for kitchens with low ceilings or restricted service corridors. A professional gas installation by a registered engineer is a requirement, not optional.

The NAG161BV is best suited to high-volume catering operations where oven throughput is a regular constraint — contract catering, large hotel kitchens, hospital catering, and event venues where consistent output across a full service is essential. The 16-grid capacity positions it toward the upper end of the Lainox Naboo Boosted range; for kitchens with more modest throughput requirements, smaller configurations within the same range offer the same control system at a reduced scale. For operations needing even greater capacity or alternative energy sources, it is worth discussing the full range before committing.
