The code says to install "two or more SA circuits," and then it says they shall have "no other outlets." So powering the range hood from one of the three SA circuits would still not be allowed.

Hood

Laguilar,
I would consider, though not required to run a seperate circuit for that hood installation. The reason being the 2008 code may require it anyway in the future, and with the way the consumer is thinking lately, that hood will wind up turning into a micro-hood someday.

The 2005 code already requires a separate circuit if the hood is to be connected with a flexible cord. See 422.16(A)(4).

Exception No. 2: Receptacles installed to provide power for supplemental equipment and lighting on gas-fired ranges, ovens, or counter-mounted cooking units.

Is the range hood ON the range or above it as a seperate componant?

Supplemental equipment would be an ignitor, a clock timer, etc ON the unit.

While that is true[422.16(B)(4)], LAGUILAR may be in area that has not accepted the '05 as code as of yet.

This exception allows you to put a receptacle for a gas range on the SA circuit. The typical gas range needs a small amount of power for the clock, oven light, and spark ignitor.

My interpretation of the question was that the "kitchen hood" was a separate component, not an integral part of the range. That is how it is in my house, so I suppose that is why I had that configuration in mind.

That exception allows us to provide a receptacle to power lights, igniters, and yes, fans, any of which are integral to the range. But what the exception says is that we are powering the range. If you just ask about powering a "kitchen hood," that is not the same thing.
