IRVINE, CA – August 18, 2020 – Dacor, the leading American luxury home appliance brand, today announced the debut of its new Transitional style of cooking appliances, a combination of core design elements from the existing Contemporary and Professional products. The introduction of Transitional marks the third distinct style for the Dacor brand, incorporating hand-made craftsmanship and a touch of integrated technology with all appliances being Wi-Fi enabled and connected through SmartThings, while boasting the high-quality functionality and performance Dacor is best known for. With this additional, Dacor now offers three different styles of cooking, satisfying the needs of both consumers and designers. 

Over the course of Dacor’s 55-year legacy, the brand has remained an essential counterpart to designers throughout the country with careful consideration for both design and innovation. The debut of the Transitional style compliments the Contemporary and Professional appliances and further exemplifies the brand’s distinguished portfolio of products, while showcasing a breadth of versatility that consumers and designers can confidently identify with based on the needs of their individual kitchens. Notably, research has shown that these three styles of kitchens will be the most popular designed in the industry moving forward.   

“The debut of our Transitional Style is a significant addition to Dacor’s existing portfolio,” says Randy Warner, Vice President of Sales for Dacor. “We introduced this style to specifically cater to our consumers and designers’ needs and further create more diverse options to meet the changing needs within the kitchen marketplace.  We value the individual cooking needs of our customers, as well as the thoughtful integration of technology and know the importance of producing collections that accommodate everyone – both cooking and design enthusiasts alike.”

• 36” Gas Range – The Transitional 36” Gas Range features a unique combination of performance, convenience and craftsmanship. The range features a Wi-Fi enabled 2.25” OLED touch control panel allowing SmartThings integration for communication between appliances as well as monitoring remotely. The product promotes professional cooking results with a single burner max output of 22K BTU using solid brass dual-stack burners. A 5.9 cuft extra-large capacity oven allows for multiple dishes to be cooked at once, while Dual Four-Part Pure Convection distributes heat evenly allowing for zero flavor transfer.

• 36” Induction Cooktop – The 36” Induction Cooktop allows for the utmost flexibility, power, and safety for at-home cooks. Through smart technology, the product automatically connects to the hood and touch control allows easy access to cooktop function including power boost.

• 30” Combination Wall Oven – The 30” Combination Wall Oven is considered one of the most versatile culinary tools in the kitchen. Its multi-functional speed in the upper oven combines the power of a microwave and convection technology to enable searing, broiling and air frying. The Steam-Assist oven allows for meats that are juice on the inside yet crispy on the outside. For faster cooking times and even distribution of heat, the convection speed oven uses a combination of microwave, convection and heating element with advanced cooking modes such as fry and Sense Cook to achieve the perfect outcome. The combination oven also allows multiple dishes to be cooked at once, knowing there will be zero flavor transfer while promoting precise distribution of heat using dual Four-Part Pure Convection.

• 30” Single Wall Oven – The 30” Single Wall Oven is the perfect combination of Professional and Contemporary styling.
