LF L3355535 7500 W Heating Element for Lainox Convection Ovens

A heating element converts electrical energy into radiant heat inside a convection oven. The element sits behind a protective guard, glowing when powered. As current passes through its coiled resistance wire, the wire heats the surrounding air. A fan then circulates this hot air evenly around the oven cavity, transferring heat to the food on every shelf. This forced convection shortens cooking times and produces consistent browning without rotating trays.

To install the element, the oven must be switched off and isolated from the mains. The operator removes the back panel or rear cover to expose the mounting bracket. The old element is unclipped or unbolted, its electrical connectors detached, and the new element positioned so the coil aligns with the original fixing points. The connectors are reattached, ensuring the correct polarity, and the element is secured. The cover is replaced and the oven powered on for a test cycle to confirm even heating across all shelves.

The element is constructed as a circular coil of resistance wire encased in a stainless-steel sheath. Its external diameter of 265 mm and internal diameter of 250 mm match the mounting ring inside compatible Lainox ovens, allowing a snug fit that prevents heat loss around the edges. The 7.5 kW power rating draws a substantial current from a 230 V single-phase supply, so it must be connected to a dedicated circuit protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.

The 230 V specification means the element is designed for standard UK mains voltage, matching the electrical system in professional kitchens. Its 7.5 kW output provides rapid heat recovery, maintaining oven temperature during frequent door openings in a busy service.

Cleaning is limited to wiping the exterior sheath with a damp cloth once the element has cooled. No water or detergent should contact the electrical connectors or coil. Regular inspection of the sheath for signs of deformation or hot spots ensures safe operation.

This heating element is a direct replacement for the original part in the listed Lainox convection oven models, including CE071M, ME061 and VE106 series.
