Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug

Are you a home cook who loves the responsive cooking control of gas cooktops but wants an electric oven to bake? Discover a dual fuel range cooker that gives you the best of both worlds.

Many experienced home chefs favor gas cooktops for their superior temperature control and capacity to employ advanced cooking techniques like grilling. These powerful stoves are costly particularly if they require an additional gas connection and an electrician for installation.

What is a 13amp plug?

If you have dual fuel range cooker (also known as an electric and gas oven) then you'll require an appropriate 13 amp plug. The plug will also need to be hard-wired into the cooker circuit using a certified electrician.

This ensures the current flowing through the plug does not exceed the safe limit that could result in an electrical fire. The current is controlled by a fuse inside the plug. The fuse will blow as soon as it is overloaded. This protects the appliance from overloads of electricity.

The fuse is rated at 13 amps, as indicated on the top of the plug. This indicates the maximum amount of current that the plug could pass without damaging the appliance or causing heat to the socket. It is crucial that when replacing fuses, you always use the same amps as the original. You run the risk of overheating a socket when you replace a fuse with an unrelated rating.

A 13 amp fuse is likely to be a ceramic type that is extremely durable and is able to withstand extreme temperatures generated by the range cooker. The ceramic element is also fire-resistant, which makes it a better choice over other kinds of fuse.

There are many ways that a 13 amp plug could be connected. The plug can be connected to a live socket with either a screw or a jaw cord clamp. The cord clamp should be tightened after the plug has been tightly pushed into place.

Some plugs may have a diagram of wiring on cardboard over the pins, and these should be removed before connecting the wires. The wires need to be cut to the correct length, as when they are too long they can get crushed when the plug covers are replaced. The earth wire must be the longest in order to connect it before the neutral and line pins.

How do I install a 13amp plug?

The majority of dual fuel range cookers sold in UK are equipped with an amp rating of 13 amps. This is important because ovens can draw substantial current, while normal plug sockets have a 10-amp rating.

Generally speaking, new appliances must be equipped with a plug at the point of sale and this is all in keeping with the Plugs and Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994. However, older appliances may not have the plug, and this is where the issue arises.

When connecting the cooker to an existing plug socket, the first thing to do is to make sure that the rating of the fuse inside the fuse box is the same as that of the plug's. This is crucial since a fuse that is not properly sized can be dangerous.

It is also recommended that the fuse is fully seated in the cartridge, and there is no excessive movement. The next step is to prepare the flex that is to be used. First remove the sheathing from the flex in order to expose the three conductors insulated within. Then, nick the sheathing at the entry point to the plug (beyond the cord grip) using a utility knife without penetrating the individual insulated conductors. This nick must be large enough to allow for the sheathing and cable to separate when the sheathing is pulled back. Finally, cut off the excess sheathing, leaving about 40mm over the flexing end.

The flex should be positioned over the plug with the earth terminal on the top and the neutral and live terminals on the bottom. The sheathing of each pin is removed using conductors in the colour of the wire as a guide. The internal cable is then inserted to the terminal by using the cord grip. If the plug is fitted with a screw type cord clamp loosen it and pull back the insulation to expose the copper conductors. Connect each conductor that is insulated to the correct terminal (starting with the earth, then neutral and finally the live) using the channel they run through the plug.

What is the maximum draw of a 13 amp plug?

The maximum current draw for 13amp plugs at 3kw at 230 volts is. This is a lot of power, however the standard fuse in a UK plug will not fail until the cable has heated to a dangerous temperature. It is important to be aware of the power you are using in your kitchen, as an unfit plug or socket can cause an explosion.

The fuses in plugtops are ceramic, around 25mm long and 240V mains rated. They'll have the BS kitemark or similar marking on the side and contain sand. Glass or plastic alternatives are available, but they should not be used in combination with a live plug.

Most dual fuel range cookers sold in the UK need to be hard-wired and cannot be plugged directly into the wall socket. They are usually connected using an exclusive cooker circuit, that is only suitable for appliances that can handle up to 20 amps.
