Hardwire Hob and Oven

Hardes

Hi,

i have a 45 amp single outlet and want to hardwire 2 appliances to it. I bought a dual connection plate to replace the existing single plate, and have the space to have 2 sets of cables plugged to the same outlet 

i made sure both the hob and oven are 13 anos and the hob even comes with a regular 13amp plug, but clearly states it can be hardwired (

GIONIEN Induction Hob 13 amp GIT470SP 3kw

the oven is also a 13 amp 

Hoover H-300 HOC3T3058BI 

I think the oven is 6kw but not sure

Can I connect both appliances to the same outlet, using a 6mm cable?

thanks all

The only reason I can imagine is that they want it protected by a 13A fuse, not by 32A MCB. You can hardwire it to a 13A fused spur connected to the existing plate, but this won't be much different from connecting a new socket to the plate (except being more reliable than a socket and a plug).

the oven is also a 13 amp

13A means about 3kW max.

Cable is OK. The rest depends.

firstly you need to check the oven power rating.
if it's 6kw, it'll be fine
where is the 6mm cable you mention? it's quite difficult to correctly terminate 6mm T&E into ovens and hobs

The oven can't be 13A and 6kW.  13A x 230V = 3kW (near enough).  I'm amazed that the official Hoover web site https://www.hoover.co.uk/en_GB/ovens/-/catalog/33703183/hoc3t3058bi#overview  gives no information at all about the wattage of the appliance.

If the hob came with a plug, then use that cable.  Ditto the oven.  You could even put a 13A socket or two in place to plug one or both in. But don't assume a double 13A socket will handle 26A unless the socket manufacturer specifically says so.
