I've been reading a few topics about wiring new ovens and hobs and it seems like it crops up frequently! However even after reading up i'd still like some clarity;
Currently:
Freestanding gas cooker plugged into mains
Going to seperate:
Electric Oven (1.8Kw) or 2.2Kw grill
13amp req'd protection

Hob : "Total Power load" 7.2kw (4 rings 1.3 - 2.3Kw each)
32amp req'd protection
http://www.beko.co.uk/Item/HII64400AT#features
My consumer unit has a 32am breaker circuit for the cooker & in kitchen (approx 6 meters away from consumer unit) has a cooker control unit & socket which leads to a free spur. I'm unsure what size the cable is.
I'm having an electrician round to do the wiring who has suggested to wire the hob to the existing designated cooker circuit and for the oven either wire a 13a plug or wire direct into the main socket.
Does this sound a legit option to have hob on cooker circuit & oven on main socket circuit?
Is it out of scope to wire both appliances to the cooker circuit?
Manufacturer recommends hardwiring oven but i've been told it will be ok on a plug/hard wiring to main house circuit.
