A 3 Amp fuse sounds suspiciously small for a domestic oven. 3 Amps would supply about 700 Watts.
What is the rating of the oven (in Watts or Kilowatts). There should be a plate on it somewhere giving information like voltage, power etc. etc.
Sometimes the plate is covered by the door when it is closed.
Ovens come in a variety ratings. Some can just be plugged into a socket, others need a dedicated supply. The cable and/or plug top fuse is selected to match the rating of the oven.
If the rating is over 3KW then it will need it's own dedicated supply.
