Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug

Are you a home cook who appreciates the nimble heating control of gas cooktops but wants an electric oven for baking? Find a dual fuel cooker that has the best of both worlds.

Many home chefs with experience prefer gas cooktops for their superior temperature control and ability to employ advanced cooking techniques such as charcoaling. These powerful stoves are costly, especially if they require an additional gas connection as well as an electrician for installation.

If you own dual fuel range cooker (also called a gas and electric oven), then you'll need an appropriate 13 amp plug. The plug also needs to be hard-wired into the cooker ring circuit by a fully certified electrician.

This ensures that the current passing through the plug is secure and not too high, which could result in an electrical fire hazard. The current is controlled by a fuse within the plug. The fuse will blow when it is deemed to be overloaded. This safeguards the appliance against an overload of electricity.

The fuse is rated at 13 amps, as indicated on the top of the plug. This indicates the maximum amount of current the plug could pass without damaging the appliance or heating the socket.

It is also recommended that the fuse is fully seated into the cartridge, and there isn't any movement. Next up is to prepare the flex to be used. First remove the sheathing from the flex in order to expose the three conductors that are insulated within. 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 positioned over the plug, with the earth terminal at the top, and the neutral and live terminals at the bottom. Using the conductors with the colors to guide you to the right direction, the sheathing should be removed from each pin, and the internal cable is then plugged to the correct terminal using the cord grip. If the plug has an attached cord clamp that is screw-type, let it loosen and then pull the insulation back to expose the copper wires. Finally, connect each of the conductors insulated to the proper terminal (starting with the earth before neutral, and then the live) by using the channel they run through in the plug.
