I've trawled the Net for opinions on this, and the specified 6mm cable at 90* doesn't seem to exist in general supply. The manual refers to H05V2V2-FT
General opinion is don't fit common twin and earth - needs heat resistant cable.
Closest I can find so far is H07 which is 6mm rated +85*.
Anything closer?

pretty minimal for an induction hob so H07 would probably be fine.
People traditionally wire up cookers in 6mm2 T+E anyway - so heat
resistant cable of any sort is a luxury :)

It would be a pretty poor design of hob that exceeded 90C on the body, I'd

After several hours of research, I found this which is by far the closest and sold by the metre, so it's ordered and paid for. Seems good to 85* at least.

There are several threads on connecting induction hobs which are rated around 7Kw and plenty of discussion. I hope the above helps.
H07 is rated 60* so that's close but not as good.
I did find this in one thread:
"Called to look at an electric hob which was tripping the MCB. I found that the 6mm T+E was severely burnt at the hob terminals and had also burnt the plastic terminal moulding. The customer was pretty annoyed at what i found as it could well have caused a fire. He wanted to know how this could happen and who's insurers to contact. After a bit of digging around, i found that the install instruction called for HO5RR-F to be used."

Bosh ones come with a lead fitted.

You would think they all would at the price they are.

If the terminal moulding had melted too sounds far more like a poor

Ordinary T&E has been used to connect cookers for fifty years to my personal knowledge.
Put a bit of heat resistant sleeving over the ends it makes you feel better. But not ususally done

would matter little what cable was used.
I wonder if a loss adjuster would take the same view though.

insulated wire is readily available in various colours and modest
lengths from eBay (typically used in radio controlled electric cars). I
use this as "tails" on some immersion heaters in a light industrial
application because I find that "normal" butyl heat resisting three-core
hardens over time, even with good contacts.
