Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug

Are you a home chef who enjoys the fast heating control of gas cooktops but wants an electric oven for baking? Find a dual-fuel range cooker that offers the best of both worlds.

Many experienced home chefs prefer gas cooktops due to their superior temperature control and ability to use advanced cooking techniques like grilling. These cooktops can be costly though, especially when you need an additional gas connection and electrician to install it.

What is a 13amp plug?

If you own a dual fuel range cooker (also called an electric and gas oven) is required, you'll need a suitably rated 13 amp plug. The plug must also be hard-wired by a licensed electrician into the cooker ring.

This ensures the current flowing through the plug does not exceed the limit of safety, which could lead to an electrical fire. The current is controlled by a fuse within the plug. The fuse will blow when it is overloaded. This protects the appliance from an overload of electricity.

The fuse is listed at 13 amps as indicated on the top of the plug and it indicates the maximum current that the plug can carry without causing harm to the appliance or overheating the socket. It is important that when replacing fuses, you always use the same rated amperage as the original. You run the risk of overheating a socket when you replace a fuse using a different rating.

A 13 amp fuse is likely to be a ceramic type that is extremely durable and is able to withstand high temperatures produced by the range cooker. Ceramic elements are also resistant to fire and thus a better choice than other types.

There are several ways to install the 13 amp plug. The plug can be connected to a live socket with a screw or plastic jaw cord clamp. The clamp must be tightened after the plug is securely pushed into position.

Before connecting the wires you might need to take off the wiring diagram on cardboard that is positioned on top of the pins on some plugs. It is essential that the wires are cut to the right length, as cutting them too long could result in them becoming crushed when the plug cover is replaced. The earth wire must be the longest to connect it prior to the line and neutral pins.

How do I install an outlet with 13amps?

The majority of dual fuel range cookers sold in the UK are connected to a 13 amp plug socket and this is crucial as ovens can draw a significant amount of current and standard plug sockets are designed to handle 10 amps.

In general new appliances must have a plug installed at the point-of-sale. This is to comply with the Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety Regulations) 1994. Older appliances may not have a plug installed and this is the problem.

When connecting a cooker to an existing plug socket the first thing that needs doing is to make sure that the rating of the fuse inside the fuse box is in line with the plug's rating. This is crucial as an incorrectly sized fuse could pose a risk.

It is also recommended that the fuse has been completely seated into the cartridge, and there isn't any movement. Next up is to prepare the flex that is to be used. The first step is to remove the sheathing from the flex to expose the three conductors insulated within. Then, cut the sheathing near the point of entry to the plug (beyond the cord grip) using a utility knife without penetrating the individual 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 and leave approximately 40mm of length that extends beyond the flex end.

The flex should be positioned over the plug, with the earth terminal on the top and the neutral and live terminals at the bottom. Using the conductors with the colors to guide you and Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug the sheathing is removed from each pin and the internal cable is fixed to the appropriate terminal by using the cord grip. If the plug has a screw-type cord clamp, loosen this and then pull back the insulation to expose the copper conductors. Finally, connect each conductor that is insulated to the appropriate terminal (starting with the earth before neutral, and then the live) by using the channel that they run through the plug.

What is the maximum draw of a plug with 13amps?

The maximum current draw of the 13amp plug is 3kw at 230volts. This is a significant amount of power, however the standard fuse on a UK plug won't fail until the cable reaches a hazardous temperature. It is crucial to be aware of the power you are using in your kitchen, since a defective plug or socket can lead to an accident.

The fuse in plugtops is ceramic, about 25mm in length and 240V mains rated. They will have an BS kitemark or similar marking on the side and contain sand. There are cheaper glass or plastic alternatives, however they shouldn't be used with a live plug, or else you could blow up the fuse and possibly be electrocuted!

In the UK, most dual fuel range cookers are wired. They are not able to be plugged directly into an outlet on the wall. They are typically connected to a specific cooker ring circuit which is only suitable for appliances that use up to 20 amps.

Check the ring circuit at your home by using the fuse box, or call an electrician in your area. They will be able tell you if the sockets in your home are on the same ring, or if they are separate and if there is a separate circuit for your oven.
