A little surprised today to find that a request for 6mm heat resistant
flex at a branch of a chain of electrical wholesalers was met with
"never stocked it" and a similar response to 4mm. They called another
branch and the response was "use twin & earth". Without reference to
regs I would have thought "if you can move it without disconnecting it
use flex". You could (still can? ) use pvc flex for cooking appliances
where not in contact with hot parts - so for a free standing cooker you
could possibly be satisfied that the flex "run" was OK how can you do
that for built in appliances?

Just for ease of installation as in getting the double oven into (and
out?) of the housing I'll use flex but is cable allowable? - and how do
you get the oven in without the cable "folding up" behind the appliance?

TW&E is ok because movement isn't going to be a common thing unlike say
with an iron. And of course it can stand quite a bit of flexing as it will
get this during installation.

You leave a loop of suitable length behind the appliance for easy removal.
All appliances provide room for this in a standard enclosure.
