I never said it could not be 10mm I just said that I have put my fair share of cookers in and to date have never used a 10 mm .. I have done a lot of kitchen installs recently that the kitchen fitter asks for two 6mm cables. And after a short calculation I put in one 6mm.

And by the way Elvis cooker by gas.
