im trying to replace an overhead microwave and conventional gas oven to a wall oven/microwave combo. Currently, my microwave is plug to an outlet with 20amp circuit(along with the outlet for the gas oven and 2 over the countertop outlet). So now, I want to put a dedicated circuit for the wall oven/microwave combo. How much amp it requires to handle the load? I understand that i can put a dual pole breaker so i can provide 240v it requires. My service panel only hold 100amp. And im not sure if it can still handle that additional big load. My service panel have one more slot. What are my options? Im a DIY person and i just want to see if i can possibly do it without hiring an electrician.

currently my service panel: from top to bottom

kitchen-20amp
Kitchen-20amp
Opener(im not sure)-20amp
Laundry-20amp
Main-100amp
A/C-30/30 dual pole
Gen-15amp
DW/gen-15/15 dual pole
Furnace ac/garbage disposal-15/15 dual pole
Gen-15amp
Gen-15amp
Last slot-empty

thanks in advance
