Appliance enclosures

[Joe Camel]

I was told there is a regulation for having kitchen appliances in hide away enclosures, as in having a microwave built in to a cabnet with doors. Does anyone know of a code that applies to this. Thanks

I have CEC book, Part 1, for 2002 and page 147 rule 26-702 deals with "Recepticals Exposed to the Weather"
Are you using a different book of am I looking in the wrong place?

Sorry Joe,
I was using the 1998 edition of the code book and got caught,
This is what the 1998 edition states :

(16) A receptacle shall not be placed in a cupboard, cabinet, or similar enclosure except where:
(a) The receptacle is an integral part of a factory-built enclosure; or
(b) The receptacle is provided for use with a specific type of appliance that is intended for use within the enclosure; or
(c) The receptacle is intended for use with a microwave oven.
D (17) Except for cord-connected dishwashers, in-line water heaters, garbage disposal units, and other similar appliances, receptacles installed in cupboards, cabinets, or similar enclosures in accordance with Paragraph (16)(b) shall be de-energized unless the enclosure door is in the fully opened position.

The 2002 edition (I don't have it on CD so I still use my old one when on the computer)
deals with this in rule 26-710(i)(j)
