Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug<br /><br />Are you a home cook who loves the flexibility of gas cooktops but requires an oven to bake in? Discover a dual-fuel range cooker that gives you the best of both worlds.<br /><br />Many experienced home chefs favor gas cooktops due to their superior temperature control and the ability to use sophisticated cooking techniques, such as charcoaling. These powerful stoves are expensive particularly if they need an extra gas connection and an electrician for installation.<br /><br />What is a 13amp outlet?<br /><br />If you have a dual fuel range cooker (also known as a gas and an electric oven), you will need an electrical outlet of 13 amps. The plug will also need to be wired hard into the cooker ring circuit by a fully competent electrician.<br /><br />This ensures that the flow of current through the plug will not exceed the limit of safety which could cause an electrical fire. 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.<br /><br />The fuse is listed at 13 amps as indicated on the top of the plug and this is the maximum amount of current that the plug can carry without causing harm to the appliance or overheating the socket. It is important that when replacing fuses, you always use the same rated amps as the original. If you replace the fuse using one with the different ratings, you are at risk of overheating the socket and placing yourself and others at danger.<br /><br />A 13 amp fuse will be a ceramic type, which is very durable and is able to withstand extreme temperatures generated by a range cooker. Ceramic elements are also resistant to fire and thus a better choice than other types.<br /><br />There are a variety of ways to install an 13 amp plug. The plug can be connected to a live socket by using either a screw or a jaw cord clamp. The clamp must be tightened after the plug has been firmly pushed into place.<br /><br />Before connecting the wires, you might need to take off the wiring diagram on cardboard which is placed on top of the pins on some plugs. It is crucial that the wires are trimmed to the right length, as cutting them too long could result in them becoming crushed when the plug cover is replaced. The earth wire must be the longest in order to connect it before the neutral and line pins.<br /><br />How do I fit an outlet with 13amps?<br /><br />The majority of dual fuel range cookers in the UK are connected to 13 amp plug sockets and this is very important since ovens draw a considerable amount of current and standard plug sockets are designed to handle 10 amps.<br /><br />In general, new appliances should have a plug installed at the point of sale. This is to ensure compliance with the Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety Regulations) 1994. Older appliances may not have a plug installed and this could be the reason for the issue.<br /><br />The first thing to do when connecting a cooker with an existing plug socket is to make sure that the fuse rating of the fuse box is in line with the rating of the plug. This is vital since a faulty sized fuse could pose a risk.<br /><br />It is also recommended that the fuse is fully seated into the cartridge, and there isn't any movement. Next up is to prepare the flex that is to be used. First remove the sheathing from the flex in order to expose the three conductors insulated within. Then, nick the sheathing at the point of entry to the plug (beyond the cord grip) with a utility knife, but without damaging the individual conductors that are insulated. The nick should be wide enough to allow the cable and sheathing to separate as the sheathing is pulled back. Finally, cut off the excess sheathing leaving about 40mm over the flex end.<br /><br />This flex should be 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, 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 then pull back the insulation to expose the copper conductors. Connect each wire insulated to the correct terminal using the channel inside the plug. Start with the earth conductor first, then the neutral and finally, the live.<br /><br />What is the maximum draw of a 13amp plug?<br /><br />The maximum current draw for 13amp plugs at 230volts is 3kw. This is a lot of power, but the standard fuse in the UK plug will not fail until the cable is heated to a dangerous temperature. It is important to be aware of the electricity you use in your kitchen, since a faulty plug or socket could cause a fire.<br /><br />The ceramic fuses that are used in plugtops weigh around 25mm in diameter and are designed for mains voltage of 240V. They will feature the BS kitemark or similar mark on the side and will 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 blow the fuse and potentially get electrocuted!<br /><br />In the UK, most dual fuel range cookers are wired. They cannot be plugged directly into the wall outlet. They are typically connected to a specific cooker ring circuit which is only suitable for appliances that consume up to 20 amps.<br /><br />You can test the ring circuit in your home by looking at the fuse box or by asking a local electrician. You can ask whether the sockets are connected to the same ring or if they're distinct. They will also be able to tell you if there's a separate circuit to power your oven.<br /><br />The size of your kitchen is a major factor when you are looking to buy a dual fuel range cooker.

Most cookers are hard-wired and connected to a specific oven-ring circuit, not the standard socket. This is because they often consume far more than 20 amps of power when both the electric oven and gas hob are in use.<br /><br />You will not find dual fuel range cookers that can be fitted in standard sockets, since this could pose an enormous fire risk and violate electrical regulations. A licensed electrician must always install new electrics in the kitchen, connecting them to the cooker. They will also ensure that the load of the oven and the hob does not exceed the circuit's supply capacity.<br /><br />The advantages of a dual fuel cooker include the responsive cooking power of a gas stove and the precise operation of an electric oven. They are adored by chefs as well as home cooks. Dual fuel range cookers are perfect for trying out different cooking techniques, including searing or grilling.<br /><br />When you are looking to purchase an appliance for your kitchen, you'll need to take into consideration several factors such as size, functionality and price. It is also necessary to have a gas connection in your home to allow the appliance. If you're not sure, it's best to get a Gas Safe engineer inspect your property prior to installation.<br /><br />Currys dual fuel range cookers are available in a range of models to suit all budgets.
