I am just about to install a new supply to a double oven in the kitchen and I have purchased a Hoover HDO889. On the Hoover website it states that the power consumption is 2.8Kw and in the instruction book that came with the oven is states that a 1.5mm2 cable can be used with a standard plug and socket arrangement but on the side of the oven there is a label that says that "P.Maxi = 5110w", which surely implies that the max power is 5.1Kw and thus it draws just over 21Amps? So I am really confused on what breakers and cable I should install, any ideas?

A double oven can not be used on a 13 amp supply.
Typically the fan oven will be 2 to 2.5 kw element and the top oven 2kw
add in bits for timer/losses/fans etc and it comes out over 13A.
It should be a dedicated supply from your main consumer unit.
