Can a Panasonic fan be used above a kitchen range?

No. Fans installed above kitchen ranges must be listed for that application by UL, and must be designed to handle grease and high temperatures. Panasonic plans to introduce kitchen range-friendly models in the future, but until then, Panasonic fans should only be used to provide auxiliary kitchen ventilation. An alternate approach is to use a ducted range hood or downdraft exhaust, and a Panasonic ventilation fan to exhaust the general odours and moisture in the kitchen.
