Electric cooker rating !

[GT1]

Need to do a little jiggery pokery on a job where a square D CU is in use and I need to free up an mcb.
One solution is to fuse down the cooker (just oven/grill, no rings) which is currently on a 32 amp.
Now I know I can pull out the the cooker and check the plate, but I'm not there at the mo..... So I was wondering does anyone know what KW these appliances are typically rated at. ??
cheers...

quite a few run at 3000kw, but most vary from 5000kw to 8000kw

8000kW, wow. That baby would really make the lights dim when it fires up.

Oh it's nothing fancy.
It looks about 10yrs old and is just a plain White thing.

3.5kw would be fine on the 16amp mcb. It's currently on 36amp which is probably a little high just for an oven and grill. !
