RETAILOBSERVER.COM AUGUST 2018 30 D acor, a leading American luxury home appliance brand, announced today its reimagined Heritage Collection of premium kitchen appliances. Featuring industry-leading capacity in its ovens and column refrigerators and freezers, along with extra-large burners and grates on ranges and rangetops, the Heritage Collection is designed for more. From preparing meals for more guests, to enjoying more conversation and preserving more memories, the collection is an ideal centerpiece for those who enjoy celebrating tradition and bringing those they love together in the kitchen. Rooted in Dacor's commitment to Techcraft – a unique philosophy in which handcrafted artistry and cutting-edge innovation make the kitchen the vibrant centerpiece of the home – the newly defined Heritage Collection provides the technology, capacity and performance for the most adventurous entertainers. The extra-large cavity of the collection's ranges is ideal when preparing meals for large groups. Highlighted by up to 8 cubic feet of oven space, anything from a large roast to commercial baking sheets can be accommodated. A new LED glass touch display features Tilt-Vue™ and crisp white LED lighting, intuitively allowing hosts to quickly check the status of cooking functions while maintaining a sleek and sophisticated exterior appearance. On the rangetop, 14-inch grates ensure clutter-free cooking when hosting large groups of guests, while the addition of dual brass burners not only offers a luxurious aesthetic, but also helps preserve burner and valve longevity when compared to aluminum finishing. "Our reimagined Heritage Collection truly takes the expression 'the more, the merrier' to heart," said Scott Kim, Director of Product Management, Dacor. "The collection not only flaunts the versatility and capacity to accommodate hosting large dinner parties or gatherings of loved ones, but also brings innovation and craftsmanship into the heart of the home with stunningly crisp LED controls, brass burner and valve finishes and a cohesive art hairline stainless steel finish across each product." Art hairline stainless steel styling offers a refreshingly consistent aesthetic across the Heritage Collection that discerning buyers and luxury designers will appreciate. Rather than utilizing vertical brush strokes that are commonplace among stainless steel finishes, Dacor's premium approach creates a unique look that seamlessly blends with horizontal counter, cabinet and appliance lines. Because of the horizontal brush strokes, the finishing also picks up more light for a shinier, striking appearance designed to complement any entertainer's designer kitchen. The Heritage Collection also features varying-sized wall ovens, gas cooktops, rangetops, ventilation, microwaves, and warming drawers, as well as panel-ready refrigerator and freezer solutions in column, four-door French door, bottom freezer, and side-by-side configurations. The Heritage column refrigerators and freezers pair revolutionary features like seamless 3DLighting and stainless-steel-wrapped interiors with industry-leading maximum storage capacity to accommodate large gatherings of guests. Features also include Dual Icemaker with Cocktail Ice, iQ Remote View with Dual Cameras and Push-to-Open Door assist. The redefined Heritage Collection featuring art hairline stainless steel finishing ranges is now available, and can be purchased through Dacor dealers nationwide.
