[QUOTE="Ardet R, post: 492572, member: 30040"] You would need to be able to make some assessment of the installation method for your 6mm² twin and earth cable. If the cable is entirely surrounded by insulation for a distance then you would be limited to 20A, though most other methods would allow a 32A breaker. Without this information you could be causing a later problem if the cable overheats. Ensuring the cable that reaches the cooker switch is the same physical cable that leaves the consumer unit would be a good start. Having the circuit on 16A makes you think why is it on 16A?, there may well be a good reason (although it may be just chance/incompetence/convenience) if you can find out the original reason then this may help clarify things.
