Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug Are you a home chef who loves the responsive heating control of gas cooktops but needs an electric oven to bake? Discover a dual fuel range cooker that has the best of both worlds. Many experienced home chefs prefer gas cooktops for their superior temperature control and capacity to employ advanced cooking techniques like charcoaling.

If you have dual fuel range cooker (also called an electric and gas oven), then you'll need a suitably rated 13 amp plug. The plug also needs to be hard-wired into the cooker circuit using a certified electrician. This ensures that the current flowing through the plug will not exceed the safe limit that could result in an electrical fire. The plug has a fuse that controls the current. The fuse goes out whenever the current passes through it beyond its capacity. This safeguards the appliance from overcharge of electricity. The fuse is rated at 13 amps, which is shown on top of the plug. This indicates the maximum amount of current that 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 rated amps as the original. You run the risk of overheating a socket if you replace a fuse with a different rating. Ceramic 13 amp fuse are extremely durable and are able to withstand extreme temperatures that can be generated by a range cooker. Ceramic elements are also resistant to fire and is therefore a better option than other kinds. There are several ways that a 13 amp plug could be fitted. The plug can be connected to a live socket with screws or a plastic jaw cord clamp. The clamp on the cord should be tightened after the plug has been firmly pushed into place. Some plugs will include a wiring diagram on cardboard over the pins and these should be removed before connecting the wires. It is crucial that the wires are cut to the correct length as leaving them too long can cause them to be crushed when the plug cover is replaced. The earth wire should be the longest wire to ensure that it is connected before the neutral and line pins. How do I install an outlet with 13amps?

Use a utility blade to cut the sheathing just beyond the grip on the cord at the entry point of the plug. This won't be able to penetrate the insulated conductors. The nick should be large enough to allow the sheathing to split and then expand as it is pulled back to reveal the cable beneath. Cut off the excess sheathing, leaving about 40mm beyond the flex. The flex should be positioned over the plug with the earth terminal on the top and the live and neutral terminals at 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 with the help of the cord grip.
