New oven installation

Stevyamda

Hi all, so I've just bought my new oven/hob cooker and on the back of it it says power consumption 230V/240V~7600/8300W. This equates to 33.04A and 34.58A! So obviously I'm wiring it into the standard 32A wall outlet with the 6mm t+e cable provided. It doesn't seem safe to me that this appliance is going to overload the circuit. We have a big family and I will likely be using all 4 hobs and the oven at the same time so I will be drawing full current and not applying diversity often. Can anyone assure me this is safe or will I need to uprate the cooker circuit to say 40A with 10mm cable? Thank you

Diversity in this case is more about the thermostats which turn off the heating elements when at temperature.
So 10 amp +30% of the remainder assuming no socket

I hadthe same issue a while back when fitting my Invisacook Induction Cooktop, and I found that checking the cable size and breaker rating first saved loads of hassle. Some of these newer units draw more power, even if you're assuming it's like-for-like. I ended up upgrading my MCB to handle the load properly. Worth double-checking before wiring it up.
