cooker & hob ignition wiring

[c0b]

Im installing an ikea kitchen and have purchased a single oven from them rated at 2.3KW.

The current kitchen arangement has the cooker circuit on a 45a breaker, with 6mm cable running to the cooker switch and then down to cooker outlet plate.

I propose to replace the cooker switch with a 20a dp switch http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp;jsessionid=NSTT4ELWLX3S2CSTHZOSFFY?id=91698&ts=87758
down to a double socket behind the oven to which i will plug in the hob ignition with a 3a fuse. and the oven itself with a 13a fused plug.

Would this arrangement be acceptable?

Yes, but you ought really to change the MCB to 20 amps.

why replace the cooker switch?

personally i'd leave everything but the outlet plate as it is and replace the outlet plate with a single to double converter socket ( http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_In...dex/Sockets_1_to_2_Gang_Conversion/index.html ). That way if anyone wants to turn it back into a normal cooker circuit later its easilly done.
