| I'm no expert, but as Ray said, it may be best to start from scratch. Modern (not 50's modern) kitchens and electrical codes require more circuits and safety features than you have now. With a little planning and research, this can be a DIY project.
You should read a couple of books on wiring, then plan your project. Although not required for a counter-top microwave, I would put it on its own circuit. New electrical work will cost more than you planned to spend, but it will be worth it to have a safe and functional electrical system in your kitchen. |
