Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug

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

Many home chefs with experience prefer gas cooktops due to their superior temperature control and ability to employ sophisticated cooking techniques, such as grilling. These stoves are expensive, particularly in the event that you require an additional gas connection and electrician to install it.

What is a 13amp plug?

If you own cheap dual fuel range cookers fuel range cooker (also called a gas and Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug electric oven) then you'll require an appropriately rated 13 amp plug. The plug also needs to be hard-wired into the cooker circuit using a competent electrician.

This ensures that the current flowing through the plug is safe and not too high, which could create an electrical fire hazard. The plug is equipped with an electrical fuse that regulates the current. The fuse goes out whenever the current is beyond its capacity, which protects the appliance from overload of electricity.

The fuse is classified at 13 amps, as shown on the top of the plug. it indicates the maximum current that the plug is able to pass without causing harm to the appliance or overheating the socket. When replacing fuses, it is crucial to select the same amperage rating as the original. If you replace the fuse using one with a different rating, then you are at risk of overheating the socket and possibly putting you and others at serious risk.

A 13 amp fuse is likely to be a ceramic one that is extremely durable and is able to withstand high temperatures generated by the range cooker. Ceramic is also fire-proof, which makes it a more suitable choice than other types of fuse.

There are a variety of ways to install the 13 amp plug. The plug can be connected to a live socket by using a screw or plastic jaw cord clamp. The clamp on the cord should be tightened after the plug has been firmly pushed into place.

Some plugs have a diagram of wiring on cardboard over the pins. These should be removed before connecting the wires. The wires must be trimmed to the right length, because if they are too long they can get crushed when plug covers are changed. The earth wire should be the longest to ensure that it is connected prior to the neutral and line pins.

How do I fit an outlet with 13amps?

The vast majority of dual fuel range cookers sold in the UK are wired to an outlet with a 13 amp rating and this is vital since ovens draw a significant amount of current and standard plug sockets are rated at 10 amps.

Generally speaking, new appliances must be equipped with a plug at the point of sale. This is all part of complying with the Plugs and Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994. Older appliances may not have a plug connected and this could be the reason for the issue.

The first thing to consider when connecting a cooker to an existing plug socket is to ensure that the fuse rating in the fuse box matches that of the plug. This is very important as an incorrectly sized fuse could be dangerous.

It is also important to check that the fuse is fully set within the cartridge and that there is no excessive movement within it. The next step is to prepare the flex to be used. Remove the sheathing to reveal the three conductors insulated. 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 that are insulated. This nick must be large enough to allow for the sheathing and cable to separate as the sheathing is pulled back. Cut off the excess sheathing, leaving about 40mm beyond the flex.

This flex should be placed over the plug with the earth terminal on the top and the live and neutral terminals on the bottom. Utilizing the colored conductors to guide you, the sheathing is then removed from each pin and the internal cable is fixed to the correct terminal using the cord grip. If the plug has an screw-type clamp for cords loosen it and Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug pull back the insulation to expose the copper conductors. Finally, connect each of the conductors insulated to the appropriate terminal (starting with the earth first, then neutral and finally the live) using the channel they run through in the plug.

What is the maximum draw of a 13 amp plug?

The maximum current draw for a 13amp plug at 300 volts is 3kw. This is a large amount of power, but the standard fuse that comes with the UK plug will not fail until the cable reaches a dangerous temperature. It is essential to be aware of the power you are using in your kitchen as a faulty plug or socket could cause an explosion.

The fuses in plugtops are ceramic, around 25mm in length and 240V mains rated. The fuses will have the BS Kitemark or similar mark on the side and they'll also contain sand. There are plastic or glass alternatives but they shouldn't be used with a live plug except if you don't want to cause a fire and be electrocuted!

In the UK, most dual fuel range cookers are hard-wired. They are not able to be plugged directly into a wall outlet. They are usually connected using an exclusive cooker circuit, which is only suitable for appliances using up to 20 amps.

Check the ring circuit of your home by using the fuse box, or ask an electrician nearby. They should be able to tell you if the sockets within your home are connected to the same ring or separate and if there is a dedicated circuit for your oven.
