How does the current rating of the new oven compare to the old one?

When you get your new cooker, it will not come with cable that connects the cooker to the wall plate.
See product manual

So, you need to keep the existing connecting cable.
Firstly, turn off the power to the cooker circuit (is there a switch on the wall?) and disconnect the cable at the cooker end.

Insulate the bare ends of the cable. Then all you need to do is to connect the L N and E conductors to the new cooker.

Please please make absolutely certain that the power is off before you do anything. Use a test meter, or two-probe voltage indicator to make absolutely sure.

I know everything above still applies . But will there be a power cable attached to this one . or is it standard practice cookers come without cable. Thanks in advance for the advice

Be sure that it's a new one if you buy Fluke

Fluke Corporation has identified a safety issue affecting certain Fluke T110, T130, and T150 Two-Pole Voltage Testers (“T-Pole Testers”).
As a precautionary measure, Fluke has decided to voluntarily recall all of these products and provide affected customers with new and improved equivalent replacement products.
Follow the link below to see if your Fluke tester is affected by the recall and what are the steps you need to take in order to have it replaced:

It won’t come with cable. Keep the one you’ve got.

Hi - here's a link to your new cooker manual
Specifications - Currys Essentials CFSEWH12 Instruction & Installation Manual [Page 13] - https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1075539/Currys-Essentials-Cfsewh12.html?page=13#manual

 

[Taylortwocities]

Yes. Page 16. You’ll need the old cable. Or treat yourselves to a new one.
