Kitchen wiring

[Unregistered]

I'm building a new house and I'm at the point of wiring the kitchen. I understand I need to branchs for the small appl rect. Which I'm doing. What about the mircowave, and the outlet for the stove (which is gas). Can this be tied into the light part of the kitchen wiring?
Thanks Jim

The two 20 amp receptacle circuits required to serve the kitchen counter as a minimum may also serve receptacles in the dining, pantry, nook. The igniter receptacle for a gas range is allowed on these same branch circuits.

If your microwave is the type designed to sit on the counter and plug in anywhere on the counter then you may plug it into any receptacle serving that kitchen counter.

If your microwave is the type designed to sit in a microwave cabinet being a dedicated space for the microwave or if that microwave is a permenantly mounted microwave/hood combination mounted over the kitchen stove then it must be served by a dedicated 20 amp branch circuit with no other loads on that dedicated circuit.

Remember no lighting, fastened in place appliances, and nothing in any other room but those mentioned above is allowed on any branch circuit serving convenience outlets installed in the kitchen, nook, dining, or pantry.

Hope this helps
