Commerical appliances in Residential Kitchens

[jsteinhauer]

Anyone have electrical experience in household wiring? I want to use a commercial portable cooktop in a "kitchenette/wet bar" area I am putting in my basement. It's 220-240V and draws 24 amps max. I put a 30 amp breaker in the panel, and I ran 6 AWG cable to the location of the receptacle, which I am placing >24" above the countertop, to avoid GFCI requirements. It's really not that big of a deal at this time, since what I am doing is not inherently unsafe, but I could not find in my references or on the internet a source addressing such appliances in residences.

You may ask why not install a permanent cooktop, which would avoid all of these questions, but counter space is limited to about 30". I otherwise have two 20 amp GFCI circuits serving the countertop and fridge, one 15 amp circuit for the hood fan and another 15 amp circuit for the lighting.
