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
