NEC for kitchen circuits

Currently underway with my kitchen remodel [contractor] and have a range hood* and gas stove receptacle on the same circuit as a bathroom and the master bedroom.

From what I understand, this circuit will need to be split up into at least 2 circuits [1 for bath and 1 for MBed to bring up to code [will have electrician do this with new sub-panel] but because of the above do I also need to have the two kitchen electrics split away [and tied into a kitchen circuit]?

Or, if there is a comprehensive source that I could access online to see the code changes then I could look it up. My code book is AWOL [and from 2003].

Thanks


* range hood is only up to 430CFM

Thanks for the info.

Now to put a bit of a twist on it -- I am turning the kitchen and living room into a 'great room' so does this affect the code req's since it is not a kitchen, per se.

In particular, do the lighting circuits still need to be separate?

 

A "kitchen" is pretty much any room where food is prepared on a regular basis. Since a dining room may have a coffee pot or any of several other "kitchen" type appliances used at one time or another the dining room receptacles are also considered to be "small appliance branch circuit receptacles just as the counter top receptacles in the kitchen proper.

Small appliance branch circuits can never have lighting.
