Are you a home cook who enjoys the responsiveness of gas cooktops, but needs an oven for baking? Discover a dual-fuel range cooktop that offers the best value dual fuel range cooker of both worlds.

Many home chefs with experience prefer gas cooktops for their superior temperature control and capacity to utilize advanced cooking techniques such as charring. These powerful stoves are expensive, especially if they require an extra gas connection and an electrician to install them.

What is a 13amp plug?

If you have a dual fuel range cooker (also known as a gas and an electric oven) you'll require an electrical outlet of 13 amps. The plug must be wired by a certified electrician to the cooker ring.

This ensures that the current passing through the plug is secure 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 passes through it beyond its capacity. This safeguards the appliance from overload of electricity.

The fuse is rated 13 amps, which is shown on top of the plug. This indicates the maximum amount of current the plug can pass without damaging the appliance or causing heat to the socket. It is important that when replacing fuses you always use the same amperage as the original. You risk overheating a socket if you replace a fuse using a different rating.

A 13 amp fuse will be a ceramic one, which is very durable and is able to withstand high temperatures generated by the range oven dual fuel cooker. Ceramic elements are also fire-resistant and is therefore a better option than other kinds.

There are several ways in which a 13 amp plug could be connected. The plug can be connected to a live socket with either a screw or a jaw cord clamp. The plug should be put in place with a firm push and then tightened, making sure that the cord clamp is secure.

Before connecting the wires you may have to remove the wiring diagram on cardboard that is placed over the pins of certain plugs. The wires should be cut to the right length, because if they are too long they may be crushed when the plug covers are replaced. The earth wire must be the longest one to ensure it is connected before the neutral and line pins.

How do I install the 13amp plug?

The vast majority dual cookers that use fuel in the UK are wired with a 13 amp plug. This is vital since ovens draw large amounts of current, while standard plug sockets only have a rating of 10 amps.

Generally speaking new appliances should be fitted with plugs at the time of sale and this is part of ensuring compliance with the Plugs and Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994. However, older appliances may not be connected to a plug and this is the reason why the problem occurs.

The first thing to do when connecting a cooker to an existing plug socket is to make sure that the rating of the fuse in the fuse box is in line with the rating of the plug. This is important because an incorrectly-sized fuse can be dangerous.

It is also recommended to ensure that the fuse has been completely seated into the cartridge, and that there isn't any excessive movement. The next step is to prepare the flex to be used. First remove the sheathing from the flex, exposing the three conductors insulated within. Use a utility blade to cut the sheathing just beyond the grip of the cord at the point of entry into the plug. The blade will not cut through the conductors that are insulated. The nick should be wide enough to allow the sheathing to split and expand the nick as it is pulled back, revealing the cable beneath. 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 live and neutral 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 appropriate terminal by using the cord grip. If the plug has an attached cord clamp that is screw-type, unwind it and then pull the insulation back to expose the copper wires. Connect each wire that is insulated to the appropriate terminal by using the channel in the plug. Start with the earth conductor first, then the neutral and finally the live.

What is the maximum draw of a 13 amp plug?

The maximum power draw of an 13amp plug is 3kw at 230volts. This is quite a bit of power, but the standard fuse fitted in a UK plug will not fail until the cable has reached to a dangerous level. It is essential to be aware of the amount of electricity you use in your kitchen as a defective plug or socket can cause a fire.

The fuse in plugtops is ceramic, around 25mm long and 240V mains rated. They will have an BS kitemark or similar mark on the side and will contain sand. Glass or plastic alternatives are available, but should not be used in combination with a live plug.

The majority of dual fuel range cookers in the UK require a hard-wired connection and will not plug directly into a wall socket. They are usually connected to a separate cooker ring circuit which is only suitable for appliances that consume up to 20 amps.

Check the ring circuit at your home using the fuse box, or call a local electrician. You can ask whether the sockets are connected to the same ring, or if they are distinct. They should also be able to inform you if there's an individual circuit that powers your oven.

What is the maximum current draw of a cooker switch?

There is a lot of confusion regarding the maximum current draw for the cooker switch. The truth is that most cookers are not designed to plug into the standard socket, but rather are hard wired and fed into an oven ring circuit. This is because they will typically consume more than 20 amps of power each time the gas and electric ovens are in use.

Therefore, you cannot find a dual range cooker with a fuel source that can be connected to a standard socket because this could create a serious fire risk and would be in violation of electrical regulations.
