Fuses in consumer unit have to protect cable. so if Your old cooker outlet was protected by 32AMP breaker , cables for supply the cooker outlet will be 2x6sqmm+ earth.
You can connect to this outlet any appliance which not exceed 7.3kW so Your actual AC can be supplied from this line but to avoid any problems I recommend to exchange protecting device for MCB type B 16AMP
