Almost certainly on the ring (only ring in the house). Im goin round tommowrow to see what I can do. I was kinda thinking along the lines of what E54 said...ie that its unlikely to pull the full 15 amps at any one time but having discovered that it goes to a very high temp during the cleaning function I reckon its prolly a good idea to put in a new circuit.

Only 1 ring in the house ?
Then theres no point in allocating nearly 50 % of the rings capacity for a single appliance. ;-)

My thinking is that the OSG said its ok to put a 15kw oven on a 32a MCB

Haven't looked in OSG yet, but 15kw =65A!!!

Could be wrong, still a bit cream crackered :crazy:

Check what the manufacturers mean by max load of 3.6KW. It's just possible that it's a single oven with a grill and oven element. The 3.6KW might be the sum of both elements but the oven functions may not let you use them together.

I would much prefer to wire in a dedicated circuit, but if thats not really acheivable the only thing I would say is wire it into a SFS rather than on a plug top. Although they're rated to 13A, i'v seen many a 3kw electric fire with melted plugs. A proper screwed connection would be much better IMO.
