We bought a hob to replace the old one, and got a B&Q halogen hob. These come pre wired with 4mm 5 wire configuration. At the plug/socket end Two connected live's, two connected neutral's and 1 earth. Not knowing this, thinking would be three pin plug arrangement. I'm stumped a little.
Looking at the kw etc appears would need a 32amp breaker, taking into account diversity etc, would this be acceptable to wire into the same outlet as the oven. This is on a 40amp, 7mm wire on a fused switch.
next question if so, what is the wiring configuration. Do both lives and both neutrals & earth attach to the respective, 3 terminals? Instructions are very vague.
 
A lot of jobs are wired for a variety of situations as some countries have more than one phase.
In our situation here, the lines should go together and the neutrals too.

But you should double-check with the instructions: can you post them here?

When you say fused switch, what do you mean? Post a picture of that, too.
 
yeah connect to the same outlet as the oven.

When you say switched fuse, do you mean a red cooker switch ?
