Diamond Bar, Calif. - January 18, 2007 - Dacor, market leader in luxury kitchen appliance design, manufacturing and distribution, today introduced the new wall-mounted Millennia® and Preference® Chimney, as well as the Millennia Island Hoods.

The stainless steel wall mounted Millennia Chimney Hood is the perfect accent to any Dacor range.

The new, more powerful ventilation systems combine high-end styling and world-class performance to quietly and efficiently improve indoor air quality of the kitchen, by removing steam, grease and cooking odors. Each unit features front-mounted electronic controls with a four-speed fan, timer and illuminated keypad for convenient operation of the low-noise adjustable blowers.

"Dacor ventilation systems come in an assortment of styles and sizes and integrate into almost any kitchen environment," said Elaine Chaney, senior vice president of marketing and sales of Dacor. "By mastering the art of combining exquisite design and industry leading technology, our ventilation systems make bold statements and offer unsurpassed performance as they quickly remove unwanted airborne particles from the kitchen."

The new wall-mount and island models are ideal for consumers who are drawn to cooking appliances with a higher heat output like the Dacor Epicure® Dual-Fuel and Millennia Ranges, as well as our elite line of cooktops. Without the proper ventilation system, heat from the cooking source can escape into the kitchen, making the joy of cooking an unpleasant task.
