The cooker has a current rating far too high to just be plugged in. It will reqiured 'hard wiring' in to the cooker circuit. There should be an outlet plate somewhere below the cooker control panel, which the cooker can be connected to.

Your new cooker will draw @40.5 amps, so you should check the mcb's rating that is protecting that circuit, also checking the size of the cable will ensure its current carrying capacities are ok.

Did you check the size of the circuit breaker ?
