Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug Are you a home cook who enjoys the convenience of gas cooktops but requires an oven to bake in? Discover a dual-fuel range cooker that offers the best of both worlds. Many home chefs with experience prefer gas cooktops due to their superior temperature control and capacity to employ advanced cooking techniques like charring. These powerful stoves are expensive particularly if they require an extra gas connection and an electrician for installation. What is a 13amp outlet? If you own dual fuel range cooker (also known as a gas and electric oven) is required, you'll need an appropriately rated 13 amp plug. The plug should also be hard-wired by a certified electrician to the cooker ring. This ensures that the current flowing through the plug is secure and not too high which could result in an electrical fire risk. The current is controlled by a fuse inside the plug. The fuse will blow as soon as it is overloaded. This protects the appliance from an overload of electricity. The fuse is rated at 13 amps as shown on the top of the plug. this indicates the maximum current that the plug can carry without causing harm to the appliance or overheating the socket. When replacing fuses, it is essential to select the same amperage rating that was used in the original. There is a risk of overheating the socket if you replace a fuse using an unrelated rating. Ceramic 13 amp fuses are extremely robust and are able to withstand extreme temperatures from the range cooker. The ceramic element is also fire-resistant, which makes it a better option than other kinds of fuse. There are many ways in which a 13 amp plug could be fitted. The plug can be connected to a live socket with a screw or plastic jaw cord clamp. The plug should be put in place with a firm push and then tightened, ensuring that the clamp is secure. Before connecting the wires you may need to remove the wiring diagram on cardboard that is placed over the pins of some plugs. It is vital that the wires are cut to the right length, as leaving them too long can cause them to break when the plug cover is replaced. The earth wire should be the longest to connect it before the line and neutral pins. How do I install a 13amp plug? The vast majority of dual fuel range cookers sold in the UK are connected to a 13 amp plug socket and this is vital since ovens draw a substantial amount of current and the standard plug sockets are rated at 10 amps. In general new appliances must 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 the reason why the problem occurs. The first step to take when connecting a cooker with an existing plug socket is to make sure that the fuse rating in the fuse box matches the rating of the plug. This is vital since a fuse that is not properly sized can be dangerous. It is also recommended to ensure that the fuse is fully installed in the cartridge and there isn't any movement within it. The next step is to prepare the flex to be used. Remove the sheathing from the flex in order to expose the three insulated conductors within. Next nick the sheathing at the entry point to the plug (beyond the cord grip) using a utility knife, but without damaging the individual insulated conductors. The nick should be wide enough to allow for the cable and sheathing to separate as the sheathing is pulled back. Finally cut off the excess sheathing leaving approximately 40mm of length that extends beyond the flexing end. This flex should be placed over the plug, with the earth terminal on the top and the live and neutral terminals at the bottom. Using the conductors with the colors to guide you, the sheathing is then removed from each pin, and the internal cable is then plugged into the appropriate terminal using the cord grip. If the plug is equipped with a cord clamp that is screw-type, loosen it and then pull the insulation back to reveal the copper wires. Connect each wire that is insulated to the appropriate terminal by using the channel inside the plug. Start with the earth conductor and then the neutral and then the live. What is the maximum draw of a 13 amp plug? The maximum current draw for 13amp plugs at 230volts is 3kw. This is a large amount of power, but the standard fuse on a UK plug will not fail until the cable reaches a hazardous temperature. It is crucial to be aware of the amount of electricity you use in your kitchen, as an unfit plug or socket could cause an accident. The fuse inside the plugtops are made of ceramic, approximately 25mm in length and rated 240V mains. The fuses will bear an BS Kitemark or a similar mark on their side, and they will contain sand. Plastic or glass alternatives are available, but should not be used in conjunction with a live plug. In the UK, most dual fuel range cooker s are hardwired. They are not able to be plugged directly into the wall outlet. They are typically connected through an exclusive cooker circuit, which is suitable only for appliances that can handle up to 20 amps. Check the ring circuit at your home using the fuse box, or call an electrician in your area. Ask them if the sockets are connected to the same ring or if they're distinct. They should also be able to inform you if there is a separate circuit to power your oven. The size of your kitchen will be an important factor when you decide to buy a dual-fuel range cooker.

What is the maximum current draw of the cooker switch? There is a lot confusion regarding the maximum current draw for a cooker switch. The truth is that most cookers aren't designed to plug into a standard socket, but rather are hard wired and connected to a specific oven ring circuit. This is because they will often consume far more than 20 amps of power when both the electric oven and gas hob are in use.
