I intend to use the existing cooker switch to control a new oven and ceramic hob. Due to the existing install of cable being behind a tiled wall and the fact that the switch will not take 2 x 6mm cable I wondered if the following idea would be acceptable (would prefer not to have to remove the tiles etc just to enlarge the space for additional cable):
1. Existing oven connected to Cooker switch via 6mm cable to outlet plate under counter top.
2. Change the cooker outlet plate to one able to accept 2x 4mm cables plus the incoming 6mm. Then run 1 4mm cable direct to the hob and the second 4mm cable to the oven via a 13A fused spur.
Due to the fact that the main power cable is 6mm and the intention is to then split of to 2 x 4mm I was wondering if this acceptable
