Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug

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

Gas cooktops are favored by many home chefs who have years of experience in the kitchen due to their superior temperature control. They also allow the use of advanced cooking techniques, such as charring. These powerful stoves are costly, especially if they require an additional gas connection and an electrician to install them.

What is a 13amp plug?

If you have a dual duel fuel range range cooker (also known as a gas and electric oven) you'll need an electrical outlet of 13 amps. The plug must also be hard-wired by a licensed electrician into the cooker ring.

This ensures that the current flowing through the plug doesn't exceed the safe limit, which could lead to an electrical fire. The plug has an electrical fuse that regulates the current. The fuse will blow when it is deemed to be overloaded. This protects the appliance from overloads of electricity.

The fuse is rated at 13 amps, which is shown on top of the plug. This indicates the maximum amount of current that the plug could carry without damaging the appliance or causing heat to the socket. When replacing fuses, it's essential to use the same amperage rating that was used in the original. You risk overheating the socket if you replace a fuse that has an unrelated rating.

A 13 amp fuse will be a ceramic one, which is very robust and able to withstand the high temperatures generated by the range cooker. Ceramic elements are also resistant to fire and therefore a better choice than other types.

There are many ways to install an 13 amp plug. It could be wired to an existing live socket and the flex then connected to it by an screw or a plastic jaw-type cord clamp. The plug is then put in place with a firm push and then tightened, making sure the clamp is secure.

Before connecting the wires, you might need to take off the cardboard wiring diagram that is positioned over the pins of certain plugs. The wires need to be cut to the proper length, as if they are too long, they can get crushed when the plug covers are replaced. The earth wire must be the longest one to ensure it is connected before the line and neutral pins.

How do I install a 13amp plug?

The majority of dual fuel range cookers in the UK are connected to an outlet with a 13 amp rating and this is very important as ovens can draw a considerable amount of power and the standard plug sockets are rated at 10 amps.

In general new appliances should include a plug at the point-of-sale. This is to comply with the Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety Regulations) 1994. However, older appliances may not have a plug and this is where the issue arises.

The first step to take when connecting a cooker to an existing plug socket is to ensure that the rating of the fuse in the fuse box matches that of the plug. This is crucial because a fuse that is not properly sized could be dangerous.

It is also recommended to check that the fuse is fully seated in the cartridge, and that there isn't any movement. Next up is to prepare the flex that is to be used. First remove the sheathing from the flex to expose the three insulated conductors within. Then, nick the sheathing at the entry point to the plug (beyond the cord grip) using a utility knife, without piercing the individual conductors. This nick must be large enough to allow for the sheathing and cable to separate as the sheathing is pulled back. Finally cut off the excess sheathing leaving approximately 40mm of length that extends beyond the flex end.

The flex is positioned over the plug, with the earth terminal at the top and live and neutral terminals at the bottom. The sheathing around each pin is removed using coloured conductors as a guide. The internal cable is then inserted into the terminal with the help of the cord grip. If the plug is equipped with a clamp for cords that is screw-type, loosen it and then pull the insulation back to reveal the copper wires. Connect each insulated wire to the correct terminal by using the channel inside the plug. Begin with the earth conductor and then the neutral and dual fuel range cooker with 13amp plug then the live.

What is the maximum draw of a 13 amp plug?

The maximum current draw for a 13amp plug is 3kw at 230volts. This is a lot of power, however the standard fuse in the UK plugtop won't fail until the cable reaches a dangerous temperature. It is important to be aware of the amount of electricity you use in your kitchen, as an unfit plug or socket could cause an accident.

The ceramic fuses that are used in plugtops weigh around 25mm in diameter and are designed for 240V mains. They will feature the BS kitemark or similar mark on the side and will contain sand. There are cheaper plastic or glass alternatives but they should never be used with a live plug or else you could blow the fuse and potentially get electrocuted!

In the UK, most dual fuel range cookers are wired. They cannot be plugged directly into a wall outlet. They are usually connected via a separate cooker circuit that is only suitable for appliances that can handle up to 20 amps.

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

What is the maximum current draw of the cooker switch?

There is a lot of confusion regarding the maximum current draw of the cooker switch. The reality is that the majority of cookers aren't made to plug into the standard socket, but instead are wired hard and fed into a dedicated oven ring circuit. This is because they often draw more than 20 amps of power each time the gas hob and electric oven are being used.

There aren't any dual fuel range cookers that are able to be fitted in a standard socket because this could create an enormous fire risk and violate electrical regulations. A professional electrician will always install any new electrics to the kitchen cooker, and they will ensure that the total load (both the oven and hob) does not exceed the capacity of supply of that circuit.

Dual fuel range cookers mix the ability to cook with the sensitivity of a gas stove with the precision and precision of an electric oven. This is the reason they are popular among chefs and cooks at home alike. Dual cookers that use fuel are great for experimenting with various cooking techniques, like searing or grilling.
