As flameport has stated, you are restricted to an output of 3000watts(3kW) or less.
If you intend to plug it into a socket circuit, anything above that will need a designated circuit, fuse and cables sizes will need to be calculated.

Hi PBoD + Flameport,
To make it more unlikely that a cooker can connect to a ring, it is suggested 2kW is the max load for a single device.
