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

Many home chefs with experience prefer gas cooktops due to their superior temperature control and Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug capacity to employ advanced cooking techniques such as charcoaling. These cooktops can be expensive, particularly when you need an additional gas hook-up and electrician for installation.

What is a 13amp plug?

If you have a dual fuel cooker range fuel range cooker (also called a gas and an electric oven) you'll require an electrical outlet of 13 amps. The plug will also need to be wired in the cooker circuit ring by a competent electrician.

This ensures that the current passing through the plug is secure and not too high which could create an electrical fire hazard. The current is controlled by a fuse inside the plug. The fuse will blow when it is deemed to be overloaded. This protects the appliance from an overload of electricity.

The fuse is listed at 13 amps as shown on the top of the plug. it indicates the maximum current that the plug can carry without causing damage to the appliance or overheating the socket. When replacing fuses, it's essential to use the same amperage rating that was used in the original. You run the risk of overheating a socket if you replace a fuse using an unrelated rating.

A 13 amp fuse will be a ceramic type that is extremely durable and can withstand the extreme temperatures generated by a range cooker. Ceramic elements are also fire-resistant, and is therefore a better option than other types.

There are several ways in which a 13 amp plug could be fitted. It can be connected to an existing live socket and the flex is connected to this by an screw or a plastic jaw-type cord clamp. The plug should be pushed firmly into place and tightened, making sure that the cord clamp is secure.

Before connecting the wires you might need to take off the wiring diagram on cardboard that is positioned over the pins of certain plugs. The wires must be trimmed to the correct length, because if they are too long they could be crushed when plug covers are changed. The earth wire should be the longest in order to connect it before the neutral and line pins.

How do I install an outlet with 13amps?

The vast majority dual fuel range cookers in UK are equipped with an amp rating of 13 amps. This is important because ovens draw a large amounts of current, while the standard plug sockets have a rating of 10 amps.

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

The first step to take when connecting a cooktop to an existing plug socket is to make sure that the rating of the fuse in the fuse box is similar to that of the plug. This is crucial since a fuse that is not properly sized can be dangerous.

It is also recommended that the fuse has been completely seated into the cartridge, and that there isn't any movement. The next step is to prepare the flex that will be used. Remove the sheathing from the flex, exposing the three insulated conductors within. Then, cut the sheathing near the point of entry to the plug (beyond the cord grip) with a utility knife, without piercing the individual conductors. The nick should be wide enough that the sheathing can split and then expand as it is pulled back, revealing the cable underneath. Cut off the excess sheathing leaving around 40mm beyond the flex.

This flex is placed over the plug and the earth terminal is placed at the top and the live and neutral terminals at the bottom. Utilizing the colored conductors to guide you, the sheathing is then removed from each pin, and the internal cable is then plugged to the appropriate terminal by using the cord grip. If the plug is fitted with a screw-type cord clamp loosen it and pull back the insulation to expose the copper conductors. Finally, connect each of the conductors insulated to the correct terminal (starting with the earth, then neutral and finally the live) by using the channel they are running through the plug.

What is the maximum draw of a 13amp plug?

The maximum current draw for 13amp plugs at 3kw at 230 volts is. This is quite a bit of power, Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug but the standard fuse fitted in a UK plugtop will not fail until the cable is heated to a dangerous level. A faulty plug or socket may cause a fire so it's vital to keep an eye on the amount of power you use particularly in the kitchen.

The fuse inside the plugtops are made of ceramic, approximately 25mm long and rated 240V mains. They'll feature a BS kitemark or similar marking on the side, and they contain sand. There are cheaper glass or plastic alternatives, however they shouldn't be used with a live plug, or else you could cause a fire and get electrocuted!

In the UK the majority of dual fuel range cookers are hard-wired. They are not able to be plugged directly into an outlet on the wall. They are typically connected through a separate cooker circuit which is suitable only for appliances using up to 20 amps.
