Can I plug new electric oven into standard power socket?

Old oven died so I bought a new one. When pulling the old oven from the wall I see it's not a simple plug. It has 3 sets of wires which all twist into other wires which then run into the wall. The new oven has just a standard Australian plug like any other appliance. There is a socket accessible which is currently serving the microwave, so can I just use a double adaptor and plug in my new oven too? The manual says "Be sure to use AC power sockets with specifications of AC220V-240V/16A separately" The fuse box has 20A for each switch (10A for lights) Thanks submitted by /u/Queenswombat [link] [comments]
