It will work fine for your purpose. I don't know if I'd run the indicator wiring through it, but you could if you want.
 
The current through the 5500 W element calculates to 22.9A and the contactor is rated for 25A. It may well be there's a good safety margin built into that 25A rating, but personally, I would prefer not to run at 90% of rated current.
