Any portable fire extinguisher should be placed where it is visible and accessible. Many commercial kitchens are also required to have a built-in fire extinguisher over the cooking area and inside the exhaust hood, and a portable Type K fire extinguisher within 30 feet.
A portable fire extinguisher should be located near an exit so that a person who chooses to stop and use the extinguisher can do so without becoming trapped by the fire.
Like all portable fire extinguishers, the ones in the kitchen should be mounted with the bottom at least 4 inches above the floor and the top no more than 5 feet (60 inches) from the floor, unless they are over 40 pounds. In that case, they should be on wheels or mounted with the top no more than 3 ft (36 inches) from the floor.
This information is from NFPA 1 Fire Code. Your local requirements may vary.
