16 Amp definitely should not be wired into a plug, maximum is 13A (which I suspect is what your plug probably is).
If it came with a plug 99% it would have been moulded (and if it is that oven it wouldn't have come with a plug).
I would be going back to whoever fitted the oven very hard, it's dangerous incompetence at the best.

Thanks all, I did notice the outer cable not housed properly so maybe it’s that. I should add it happened just after I switched a dehumidifier on in the next room but assuming unrelated as nothing tripped at the fuse box.
Just found this regarding the oven specs, and it says hardwired only. Would the installer really have fitted a plug though?! I’d have assumed the oven came with that plug on… but maybe not.
Didn’t get an eic certificate, no idea what that is, like I say, totally out of my depth. This whole kitchen process has totally killed me, literally just got the last bit finished on Sunday and we started in July.
Also spec below says required fuse 16amp and plug says it’s a 3 amp, that’s not right is it?!
