The fact that a simple question like this took until the 9th response to get something sensible is a bit sad.

Thanks for your help Telectrix and your time. Much appreciated.

I have read the manufacturers instructions.
and it says "This appliance must be connected directly to the mains using an omnipolar circuit breaker with a minimum opening of 3mm between contacts"
Then it goes on to say in adifferent paragraph "This appliance requires a 32amp miniature circuit breaker"

The induction hob draws quite a bit of current. On its own I would say it's spot on using a 32amp mcb and 6mm twin & earth however, adding another 2.5kw (oven) to the equation this would/could tip it over the edge at around 38A in total. (not knowing the reference method it's difficult to say) There is every chance that each appliance could be used to its full capacity when doing a lovely Sunday roast for example. Most modern ovens are designed to simply plug into the ring circuit so does the oven have a 13amp plug on it? This is why it's never a simple answer unless we know all the facts. Some answers/comments sound a little "unhelpful" but we don't know the full picture.

Thanks for your help John.
I actually have 2 kitchens in my property. I wouldnt run the new oven and hob at the same time as I have a 5 burner gas hob in the other kitchen.

You'd use the hob in one kitchen and the oven in another kitchen when preparing parts of the same meal ?

No the oven hasnt got a 13 amp plug on it. Just the connecting block.
