They have been connecting 7/044 and 6mm T&E cable directly too cookers and hob's ever since i've been in this industry as a matter of standard practice, so what's so different now?? Never, not once have i ever seen heat damage to these cables from normal usage. The only damage i've ever seen is mechanical (entrapment) damage and burning damage caused totally by bad/loose connections to either the CCU or the oven itself....
If these manufacturers want heat resisting, or other special cable connecting their appliances, then they should supply the appliance with the said cable factory connected!!! It's all absolute piffle for a standard domestic installation....
Couldn't agree more, had a similar situation recently with a range oven, but when you look at the rats nest of singles inside the back of the oven it kind of defies the point....
