A full sized cooker needs a 'cooker point'. But you say yours is 2115Kw!!! you will need a power station. So!- I assume that you have a table top type of cooker/hob rated at 2115 WATTS (2.115 Kw.)(10.0 amps) ?????? if so it will work happily on a 13 amp plug. If in doubt restate your question.

jayktee as usual is right and the first person to read your question properly
the cooker you have will probably have come with a flex connected which would originally have had a moulded plug on the end
in addition if this is a baby belling 120r this cooker must be plugged into a 13a socket

you need a proper cooker socket connected to a 30 amp fuse in the main board. this is for safety not to make consumers spend more. new homes have them as standard and if they were not essential builders wouldnt waste time time installing them

if its a full electric cooker then yes, you need a permanent high current cooker point. if, however its an oven with separate hob, the oven can be plugged in BUT THE HOB WILL NEED A COOKER POINT

The connection for a cooker has to be on a separate circuit to the rest of the house wiring, you cannot just plug it in to a normal socket, it has to be a 30amp circuit, get an electrician to sort it for you, make sure he is NICEIC qualified

Yes you do. I worked as an Electrician for 9 years, and it takes a higher wattage point.
