Oven 13 Switched spur or socket + isolator is enough?

Hello, First of all thanks for taking time in answering this. I've purchased a new oven and according to the installation PDF it is a 2350W oven which needs to be wired to a 13 amp Switch Fused Spur. I have a double socket behind my old cooker - one plug for gas hob sparkler, one for the oven itself. Socket is wired via an isolator switch above the counter on a separate cooker circuit at the breaker. My question is, is it reasonable to wire the oven with a fused plug and plug it in like the old oven due to low wattage? AFAIK my kettle is 2kW. >>>> Edit: I will get an earthed plug and my socket is earthed 100% Here is the phrase from PDF and the LAST sentance was something i've missed before: "The appliance should be connected via a 13 amp Switch Fused Spur as shown below. Minimum opening between the contacts (in the spur) of 3mm and should be accessible and no more than 2 metres away from the appliance. Alternative connection methods may be available as long as they conform to current IEE wiring regulations." So if a plug is grounded and 13 Amp fused and is connected to accessable Cooker isolator switch, this will not invalidate the warranty as it conforms to IEE regulations?
