A cooker is a hob and oven in one case. Is that what you have?
If it is and only part of it works then it is faulty.

.. Have two spurs one for stright connection and one for a plug ..

Ok. I think.

And I have two switches one for hob one for oven

Right.

.. Connected the cooker to the hob switch .. Can I connect both spurs to the cooker ?.. The stright connection and the one with the plug

No.

!.. And I'm using the right cable according to bs for the hob .. When connecting the oven can I use 3 wires cable .

Now you're talking about an oven, which does not have hobs.

Need some clarification.

Can I

It would seem no, it would seem you don't have the skill. However I am sure it can be done by some one who does have the skill.

I am not trying to be funny or insult, the problem is from your description I can't work out exactly what you want to do. Basic rules are anything fixed over 2 kW should have a dedicated supply. There exceptions. There are also exceptions to the general rule for hobs and ovens, most hobs need a dedicated supply and can't use a 13A socket, more ovens can at a pinch use a 13A socket, but not all, there are some special hobs designed to run on 13A and some oven which need 16 amp or more.

Most houses have a dedicated cooker outlet rated 32A and in most cases this can be split to feed a hob and an over or a full cooker. But what you have asked can't really be answered with out more information.

Have you set the clock - many will not work until that is set.

If it still doesn't work, then complain to those that supplied and installed it.

Thanks for taking time to reply
Yes I have a ceramic electric cooker all in one .. When I tested the electrics on the plugs when you switch the oven switch you will have power in the spur stright connection and when you switch the oven switch you will have power to the spur that have a plug connection .. It seems like both have separate connection but I'm confused if connecting both the plug spur and the stright connection will be ok .. I assume you think not .. Ivan send pictures if you like .. Thanks

Didn't set the timer but can I connect two cables to the cooker one coming from the stright connection and one coming from the spur with plug to the cooker .. Or it should work as a unit with only one connection

 

[flameport]

The cooker requires an electrical connection from one cable.
You do not need to alter the wiring or connect anything else.

If you set the clock as described in the instructions, it will almost certainly work.

One more question the connection is not with the fuse plug like connecting a fridge it's stright is that ok according to bs .. thank you

 

[flameport]

Yes, the fuse is in the fusebox or consumer unit. The cooker is a high power item which does not need it's own smaller fuse.
