Hey maybe someone will be able to tell me how to do it (Yes i should call electrician) but..

-I have new oven 2100 wat (doesn't have a plug at the end of the 1,5 mm cable)
-Bosh Induction hob 3700 wat and has got cable and 13 amp socket

how to connect this using existing 32 amp circuit (has 6mm cable) ? maybe someone will know simple solution without digging in consumer unit ?

Thanks
 
What do the instructions say about power for the oven? At 2100 watt you could power that through a standard 13A fused plug.

If that is the case fit a Dual Appliance Connector Plate at the end of the 6mm cable
Connect the hob to one side.
To the other side of the plate, connect a standard 13amp socket. Use 2.5mm cable.
Fit a plug on the end of the oven cable, plug in, switch on.
 
Some of the lower wattage ovens come with no plug top on the 1.5mm pre fitted flex for some reason, also some have a tag on the end saying don't fit a 13 amp plug top.
So as above check the instructions

Yes. It’s ok(ish), although you don’t need a cooker outlet plate after the FCU. Wire the oven straight into the FCU.

You'll have problems getting two 6mm cables into the existing cooker control unit. Use a dual appliance connection plate, as previously advised.

Duel outlet plate one side feeds the hob the other feeds a 13 amp spur to feed your oven.

Personally I wouldn’t want a big black cable permanently plugged into my cooker control unit(CCU).

Put a 13amp socket under the worktop and plug the hob in there. Use the socket on the CCU for what it is meant for - occasional use, eg kettle
