Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug

Are you a home cook who enjoys the convenience of gas cooktops but still requires an oven to bake in? Discover a dual-fuel range cooktop that offers the best of both worlds.

Gas cooktops are preferred by many home chefs with experience in the kitchen because of their superior temperature control. They also allow them to use advanced cooking techniques, such as grilling. These powerful stoves are expensive particularly if they need an extra gas connection and an electrician for installation.

What is a 13amp outlet?

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


This ensures that the current passing through the plug is safe and not excessive, which could result in an electrical fire hazard. The plug is equipped with a fuse that controls the current. The fuse will blow as soon as it is deemed to be overloaded. This protects the appliance from overloads of electricity.

The fuse is rated 13 amps, which is shown on 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 crucial that when replacing fuses, you always use the same rated amps as 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-proof, making it a better option than other types of fuse.

There are several ways to install the 13 amp plug. The plug can be connected to a live socket with either a screw or a jaw cord clamp. The clamp must be tightened after the plug has been securely pushed into position.

Some plugs will include a wiring diagram on cardboard over the pins. These must be removed prior to connecting the wires. The wires should be cut to the proper length, because when they are too long they could be crushed when plug covers are changed. The earth wire should be the longest to ensure that it is connected prior to the neutral and line pins.

How do I install the 13amp plug?

The vast majority of dual fuel range cookers in the UK are wired to a 13 amp plug socket and this is crucial because ovens draw a significant amount of current and standard plug sockets are only designed to handle 10 amps.

Generally speaking, new appliances must be fitted with a plug at the point of sale. This is all part of complying with the Plugs and Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994. However, older appliances may not be connected to a plug and this is where the problem arises.

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

It is also recommended to ensure that the fuse has been completely seated into the cartridge, and there isn't any excessive movement. The next step is to prepare the flex that will be used. Remove the sheathing to expose the three conductors that are insulated. Then, cut the sheathing near the point of entry to the plug (beyond the cord grip) using a knife without penetrating the individual conductors that are insulated. The nick should be large enough to allow the sheathing to split and enlarge the nick as it is pulled back, revealing the cable underneath. Cut off the excess sheathing leaving around 40mm beyond the flex.

The flex is placed over the plug, with the earth terminal on the top and the live and neutral terminals on 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 inserted into the appropriate terminal using the cord grip. If the plug is fitted with an screw-type clamp for cords loosen it, and then pull back the insulation to reveal the copper conductors. Then, connect each of the conductors insulated to the correct terminal (starting with the earth before neutral, and then the live) using the channel they are running through the plug.

What is the maximum current draw of a 13amp plug?

The maximum current draw for the 13amp plug is 3kw at 230volts. This is quite a bit of power, but the standard fuse that is fitted in a UK plugtop will not fail until the cable has heated to a risky temperature. A damaged plug or socket may cause fire, therefore it is important to be vigilant about how much you are using, especially in the kitchen.

The fuse inside the plugtops are made of ceramic, approximately 25mm in length and rated for 240V mains. The fuses will bear an BS Kitemark or a similar mark on their side, and they'll also contain sand. There are plastic or glass alternatives but they should not be used with a live plug except if you don't want to cause a fire and be electrocuted!

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

Check the ring circuit of your home by using the fuse box, or contact an electrician in your area. Ask them if the sockets are on the same ring or if they're distinct. They should also be able to inform you if there's a dedicated circuit to power your oven.

What is the maximum draw of the switch on a cooker?

There is a lot of confusion about the maximum current draw of the cooker switch. The majority of cookers are hard-wired and connected to an oven-ring circuit and not an ordinary socket. It is because they often consume more than 20 amps when the electric and gas hob oven are used.

So, you won't find a dual fuel range cooker that can be connected to a standard socket, as it could pose a significant fire risk and be in violation of electrical regulations. A licensed electrician should install new electrics in the kitchen, connecting them to a cooker. They should also ensure that the total load of the oven and hob do not exceed the circuit's power supply capacity.

second hand dual fuel range cookers  mix the ability to cook with the sensitivity of a gas stove with the precision and precision of an electric oven. This is why they're well-liked by chefs and home cooks alike. Dual cookers that use fuel are great for trying out different cooking techniques, such as searing or charring.

When buying a new range cooker you'll need to take into consideration a number of factors like size, function and price. In addition, you will also need to make sure that your home has a suitable gas hook-up for the appliance.
