R306.2

Section R306.2 is titled 'Kitchen' and covers requirements for sanitation. A required area for food preparation and a sink within such area is established. The purpose of this section is to provide for general well-being and to prevent the spread of disease.

The model shows a kitchen which has a sink and microwave, (though a cooking appliance is not specifically required by this section). The model presumes that this section intends that the kitchen is as defined in chapter 2 (even though 'kitchen' is not italicized).
