Default microwave on switched outlet?

most microwaves are 1500w or less, so you shouldn't have a problem
using a 15 amp circuit, but it may be better to rewire as others have
said.

I would like to move my microwave from the kitchen countertop into a
spacious cabinet to free up the counter. There is currently a 14ga
wire running to that cabinet from a wall switch (prior owner intended
to install accent lighting in glass-fronted portion of cabinet. Is it
safe to run a microwave on a circuit/outlet controlled by a wall
switch? How do I tell if the switch is 'rated' for a certain power
draw? I would obviously install a GFI outlet.

Thanks,
