Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug

Are you a cook at home who loves the responsive heat control of gas cooktops, but requires an electric oven to bake? Discover a dual fuel range cooker that gives you the best dual fuel range cookers uk of both worlds.

Many experienced home chefs prefer gas cooktops due to their superior temperature control and capacity to employ advanced cooking techniques like charcoaling. These powerful stoves can be costly, especially if they require an extra gas connection and an electrician for installation.

What is a 13amp plug?

If you have a dual fuel range cooker (also called an electric and gas oven) then you'll require an appropriate 13 amp plug. The plug will also have to be wired in the cooker ring circuit by a fully qualified electrician.

This assures that the current that flows through the plug is safe and not excessive, which could cause an electrical fire hazard. The plug is equipped with an electric fuse that regulates the current. The fuse will blow as soon as it is overloaded. This safeguards the appliance against an overload of electricity.

The fuse is rated 13 amps, as indicated on the top of the plug. This is the maximum amount of current the plug could pass without damaging the appliance or heating the socket. When replacing fuses, it is important to use the same amperage rating that was used in the original. If you replace the fuse with one that has an alternative rating, you risk overheating the socket and putting you and others at danger.

Ceramic 13 amp fuses are very durable, and are able to withstand extreme temperatures from the range cooker. The ceramic element is also fire-proof, which makes it a better option than other kinds of fuse.

There are several ways to install an 13 amp plug. 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 have a diagram of wiring on cardboard over the pins and these should be removed prior to connecting the wires. The wires should be cut to the proper length, because if they are too long, they could be crushed when plug covers are changed. The earth wire must be the longest in order to connect it prior to the line and neutral pins.

How do I install the 13amp plug?

The vast majority of dual cookers that use fuel in the UK are powered by an amp rating of 13 amps. This is vital because ovens can draw substantial current, while normal plug sockets have a rating of 10 amps.

In general new appliances must have a plug installed at the point-of-sale. This is to ensure compliance with the Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety Regulations) 1994. Older appliances may not have a plug and this could be the reason for the issue.

The first step to take when connecting a cooker with an existing plug socket is to make sure that the rating of the fuse in the fuse box matches the rating of the plug. This is important because a faulty fuse could be dangerous.

It is also recommended to make sure that the fuse is seated within the cartridge and that there isn't any excessive movement within it. The next step is to prepare the flex that is to be used. Take off the sheathing and reveal the three conductors insulated. Use a utility blade to cut the sheathing just beyond the grip on the cord at the point of entry into the plug. This will not cut through the conductors that are insulated. This nick must be large enough to allow for the cable and sheathing to separate as the sheathing is pulled back. Cut off the excess sheathing, leaving about 40mm beyond the flex.

The flex is then positioned over the plug with the earth terminal at the top, and the live and neutral terminals at the bottom. The sheathing around each pin is removed using the conductors in the colour of the wire as a guide. The internal cable is then fixed to the terminal by using the cord grip. If the plug has an attached cord clamp that is screw-type, loosen it and then pull the insulation back to reveal the copper wires. Connect each wire insulated to the appropriate terminal by using the channel inside the plug. Begin with the earth conductor first, then the neutral and finally, the live.

What is the maximum current draw of a 13amp plug?

The maximum power draw of a 13amp plug is 3kw at 230 volts. This is quite a bit of power, however the standard fuse that is fitted in a UK plugtop will not fail until the cable is heated to a dangerous temperature. A faulty plug or socket may result in a fire, therefore it is important to be vigilant about the amount of power you use particularly in the kitchen.

The ceramic fuses used in plugtops weigh around 25mm and are suitable for 240V mains. The fuses will have the BS Kitemark or similar mark on the side, and they will contain sand. There are also cheaper glass or plastic alternatives, however they should never be used with a live plug or else you could blow up the fuse and possibly get electrocuted!

Most dual fuel range cooker with hot plate fuel range cookers in the UK need to be hard-wired and cannot be plugged directly into an outlet on the wall. They are usually connected to a separate cooker ring circuit that is suitable for appliances that use up to 20 amps.

This is because they often draw more than 20 amps of power each time the electric oven and gas hob are used.
