i would look at the power output from the cooker eg. 3000w.
does the cooker have a 13 amp plug socket on any existing cable ?
then a spark will give the proper information.

A rule of thumb: If it has an electric hob (rings or halogens) then it will need a high-power supply, not an ordinary plug.
Cookers with a gas hob and a single electric oven are usually OK with a plug.
The instruction book and the makers rating plate will tell you what power it needs (so should the shop, but check it yourself) as Crafty and Al say. If you picked up a sales brochure in the shop it will be in there too.
A plug will carry 13Amps or about 3000 Watts or about 3kW
Question for you: on your kitchen wall is there a BIG switch marked "cooker?" And is there a white plastic connection plate (not a socket) on the wall where a cooker might go?
