    First, check what installation you have at home,
    from what I can see is a 1 phase cooker that will need over 40A.

    Don't let your friend worry about that. The installation in the building is also single-phase and its pre-meter protection is certainly enough.

    Dear author.
    You cannot mount any plug.
    However, you can look around the kitchen and check if you have such switches installed.

    In principle, the switch on the left is important. It has a load capacity of 40A, which is a standard for cookers on the islands. This switch on the right has a load capacity of 20A, but due to the installed fuse it does not exceed 13A. It is intended for the oven when it is powered from the same circuit as the hob. However, when (the oven) is powered from a separate circuit, the fuse has no switch.
    These switches act as safety and service switches. By island standards, they must be mounted.

    Under the switch (below the countertops) there should be a box with terminals to which the stove should be connected. If this can is not present, then the oven cord should be placed under the switch and the connection should be made there.
    There is no residual current device in the circuit of the stove or oven.
    Oven circuit protection 40A.

    If you bought the cord 10mm2 twin plus earth then a green and yellow sleeve should be put on the PE conductor

    The standard on the islands for the oven cord is 6mm2 larger, you do not need. As for the switches, which my friend gave in the picture above, the so-called "spers" in the kitchen are usually installed somewhere in the cupboard.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around connecting a HOTPOINT HAE60K electric cooker (10.7 KW, 230-240V, 50Hz) to a standard UK socket. Users emphasize that the cooker requires a dedicated circuit with a capacity of over 40A, and it is not advisable to simply attach a plug to the cooker cable. Instead, it is recommended to check for existing double-circuit disconnectors in the kitchen, which should be installed for safety. If such a connection is not available, a new circuit must be run from the electrical board, including the installation of appropriate switches and terminal boxes for safe connection. The use of a 10mm cable is confirmed as suitable, but the installation must comply with electrical standards to ensure safety.
