My understanding is that a gas range can be on the small appliance circuit to supply clock, timer, lights, etc. Is the range hood considered part of the range and/or can it be on the small appliance circuit as well?
I have read a lengthy (closed) thread where a dedicated circuit for it is not required but recommended by many because of possible microwave hood. However we are installing a stainless designer hood $800 value so no one is swapping it out for microwave (plus we have dedicated spot & circuit for microwave elsewhere).
We are on NEC2008 here and so it must be AFCI then? GFCI? Either way we don't want the extra expense (and before you say it, no we did not pay that much for the hood just got an amazing deal--so money is an object!)
