2 x 3 amp appliances on unfused 32 amp cooker spur - safety issue?

Viv

Can a 3 amp gas hob and a 3 amp gas oven be hardwired into an 32 amp electric oven spur with the 3 amp fuses removed? 

Also, the electric cooker spur will be directly behind the fan inlet/outlet of the fitted gas oven when it sits in its cabinet. 

This is what I've been told is safe, but alarm bells are ringing here.

    Probably not.

    The correct answer is 'follow manufacturer's instructions' in terms of what they require for overcurrent protection/fusing.

    Since a BS 1363 FCU can be supplied via a 32 A circuit, could you provide an FCU with 3 A fuse for each?
