Ok, I think I may have answered this by flick through the pages of threads here but wanted to check anyway.
I recently bought a new elctric hob and oven - both Indesit. The hob is ceramic and rated at about 6kW, the oven is rate at around 2kW (I think slightly less than 2 actually). The strange thing was, the hob came with a thick cable - obviously, but the oven came with a pre-fitted 3-pin 13 Amp plug.
When I removed the old gas hob and electric oven, the reverse was true. So basically what I've done is to connect the hob to the oven's circuit on the CU (it had its own 32A breaker) and wire the oven into the ring main (again 32A breaker).
Firstly, is this acceptable, and secondly is this allowed under the new building regs??
Cheers,
TGC
