Dacor's New Millenia 24" Dishwasher Combines Luxury Styling and State-of-the-Art Features in Standard SizeComing on Heels of Introduction of Largest Dishwasher in the Marketplace, New Model Rounds Out Dishwasher Offering

Diamond Bar, Calif. - October 30, 2006 - Dacor, market leader in luxury kitchen appliance design, manufacturing and distribution, today introduced the Millennia® 24" Dishwasher. Following the brand's launch of the Epicure® 30" Dishwasher earlier this year, the rollout of the Millennia 24" Dishwasher continues the company's commitment of providing consumers with a full line of coordinating kitchen appliances, all manufactured with the same high-quality craftsmanship that consumers have come to expect from Dacor.

With the new intuitive model, dishes will be cleaned thoroughly the first time.

"The Millennia 24" Dishwasher offers discerning customers all the benefits of a luxury appliance at an attractive price point, but without compromising quality or performance," said Elaine Chaney, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Dacor. "Whether consumers prefer this new model, or the larger 30" appliance that we offer, the dishwasher lineup from Dacor can meet their needs with the best combination of performance and elegant style."

Featuring the same curved handle design that matches the Millennia Discovery™ Wall Oven, the dishwasher offers an understated elegance to complement any stylish, modern kitchen. The new stainless steel appliance has a stylish appearance that is upstaged only by its affordable price. Ideal as an introductory or replacement appliance, the Millennia 24" Dishwasher delivers beautiful results, with a variety of intuitive features that enhance performance and will ultimately change the way consumers feel about washing dishes.

With the new intuitive model, dishes will be cleaned thoroughly the first time, due to internal Soil Sensor technology that detects the amount of debris on dishwasher contents and determines the precise water temperature and cycle needed to clean dishes completely. In addition, pulsating water sprays the interior cavity periodically throughout the wash cycle, ensuring that dishes are cleaned properly and sweeping away food particles for good.

With five wash cycles and three wash options to choose from, including Auto Wash, Rinse & Hold and NSF-certified Sanitize Rinse, users can easily select the ideal time, temperature and water pressure needed to get dishes sparkling clean.

The Millennia 24" Dishwasher is fully insulated to provide whisper-quiet operation. As one of the quietest dishwashers in its class, the appliance also features removable utensil shelves and splittable upper racks that let users customize each load. The one-touch control pad with illuminated buttons provides precise digital operation on an integrated panel that is completely concealed when the dishwasher is closed.

Currently rolling out to authorized Dacor dealers, the Millennia 24" Dishwasher is Energy Star Rated, which guarantees a high level of energy efficiency, water savings and reduced utility costs while preventing pollution.
