induction hob and oven have arrived onsite and both suggest a 13amp supply is suffice.
The oven I can believe, mine is 2.8kW so would be OK on a 16A RCBO. But a typical 4 ring induction hob is around 7.5kW so a 13A plug seems highly optimistic and needs careful checking.

I've installed plenty of induction hobs that come fitted with a 13A plug from the manufacturers. Seems pretty commonplace with them now.
 
Any modification to the original design " can " void warrantty,
that includes chopping off plugs.
Check with any lawyer they will confirm it.
Remember the law has nothing to do with common sense.
it is as it is !
 
If the cooking appliances do not come with plug tops, then the manufactures or consumers supply lead would/should be suitably rated, to carry the maximum fixed load of said appliance.
if they don't come with plug tops, then you'll get a nasty belt off the exposed live parts in the plug.
 
Fair play this thread is hilarious, I can't remember the last time I gave 3 funnys in one thread, keep up the good work pmsl, oh by the way Bruce, it is different up here in the modern world than down under :D
 
32A RCBO, 6mm cable, single socket or preferably FCU with 13A fuse no problem at all?
In fact with that load a 1.5mm cable would be ample, as long as adiabatic checks out on the prospective short circuit current.
