dual fuel range cooker with 13amp plug (Full Survey)

Are you a home cook who enjoys the fast heating control of gas cooktops but needs an electric oven to bake? Discover a dual-fuel range cooker that gives you the best value dual fuel range cooker of both worlds.

Gas cooktops are the preferred choice of many home chefs with experience in the kitchen due to their superior temperature control. They also permit them to utilize advanced cooking techniques such as grilling. These powerful stoves are expensive, especially if they require an additional gas connection as well as 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 need an outlet with 13 amps. The plug also needs to be wired hard into the cooker circuit using a certified electrician.

This ensures that the current flowing through the plug is safe and not too high which could cause 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 protects the appliance from overloads of electricity.

The fuse is rated at 13 amps, as indicated on the top of the plug. This indicates the maximum amount of current that the plug could carry without damaging the appliance or heating the socket. It is important to ensure that when replacing fuses, you always use the same amps as the original. If you replace the fuse with one of the different ratings, you risk overheating the socket, and potentially putting you and others at danger.

Ceramic 13 amp fuses are extremely durable and can withstand high temperatures from the range cooker. The ceramic element is also fire-proof, making it a better choice over other kinds of fuse.

There are a variety of ways to install an 13 amp plug. It can be connected to an existing live socket, and the flex then connected to it using either a screw or a jaw type cord clamp. The clamp must be tightened after the plug is securely pushed into position.

Before connecting the wires, you may need to remove the wiring diagram on cardboard which is placed over the pins of certain plugs. It is essential that the wires are cut to the correct 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 neutral and line pins.

How do I connect a 13amp plug?

The vast majority of dual fuel range cookers in UK are equipped with an amp rating of 13 amps. This is crucial since ovens draw substantial current, while standard plug sockets only have a 10-amp rating.

Generally speaking, new appliances must be equipped with plugs at the time of sale. This is part of ensuring compliance with the Plugs and Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994. However, older appliances may not be connected to the plug, and this is where the issue arises.

The first thing to consider when connecting a cooker with an existing plug socket is to ensure that the fuse rating in the fuse box is in line with that of the plug. This is very important as an incorrectly sized fuse could be dangerous.

It is also advisable to make sure that the fuse is installed in the cartridge and there is no excessive movement within it. Next up is to prepare the flex to be used. The first step is to remove the sheathing from the flex to expose the three conductors insulated within. Then, nick the sheathing at the point of entry to the plug (beyond the cord grip) using a knife without penetrating the individual insulated conductors. This nick should be wide enough that the sheathing can split and then expand as it is pulled back, revealing the cable beneath. Cut off the excess sheathing leaving around 40mm beyond the flex.

The flex should be positioned over the plug with the earth terminal on top and the live and neutral terminals on the bottom. The sheathing on each pin is removed using coloured conductors as a guide. The internal cable is then secured to the terminal by 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 correct terminal by using the plug's channel. Begin with the earth conductor and then the neutral and finally, the live.

What is the maximum draw of a 13 amp plug?

The maximum current draw for an 13amp plug is 3kw at 230volts. This is a significant amount of power, but the standard fuse in a UK plugtop won't fail until the cable reaches a hazardous temperature. A faulty plug or socket can cause a fire so it's important to keep an eye on how much you are using particularly in the kitchen.

The ceramic fuses that are used in plugtops weigh around 25mm and are rated for 240V mains. They will be marked with a BS kitemark or similar marking on the side and will contain sand. There are cheaper plastic or glass alternatives but they should never be used with a live plug except if you don't want to blow up the fuse and possibly get electrocuted!

Most dual fuel range cookers in the UK require hard-wired and are not able to plug directly into a wall socket. They are typically connected through a separate 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 contact an electrician nearby. They should be able to tell you whether the sockets in your home are connected to the same ring or are separate and whether there is a separate circuit for your oven.

What is the maximum current draw of the cooker switch?

There is a lot confusion about the maximum current draw of a cooker switch. Most cookers are hard-wired, and connected to an oven-ring circuit and not a standard socket. This is because they will typically consume more than 20 amps of power when the gas hob and electric oven are used.

You will not find dual fuel mini range cooker fuel range cookers that are able to be fitted in a standard socket, because this could create an extremely high risk of fire and would violate electrical regulations. An experienced electrician will install any new electrical components to an appliance in the kitchen and ensure that the total load (both the hob and oven) do not exceed the supply capability of that circuit.
