Q: QuestionWhat is the sones minimum and maximum for this? Also, how does it dampen the noise level?

Asked 9 months ago by Laura.

• A:Answer The Dacor 36" Externally Vented Wall Range Hood operates at a noise level between 780 CFM and 1200 CFM, but its exact sones rating isn’t publicly listed in the standard specs. However, based on similar high-performance range hoods, the noise level typically falls between 6 to 10 sones, depending on the fan speed. How It Dampens Noise - Dacor uses a noise dampening system that includes: - Multi-speed fan control: Lets you adjust ventilation power to reduce sound when full power isn’t needed. - Auto Connect & Auto-On sensors: These smart features optimize fan speed automatically, avoiding unnecessary high-speed noise. - Internal blower design: Helps contain and reduce sound compared to external motor setups. - Dishwasher-safe baffle filters: These trap grease and smoke efficiently without adding vibration or rattle.

Q: QuestionCan this range hood be installed inside of an existing island shroud? Currently, there is a legacy Dacor hood vent installed that is no longer working (and I have been unable to get it repaired).

• A:Answer Yes, the Dacor 36" Externally Vented Island Range Hood can typically be installed inside an existing island shroud—especially if the legacy unit was also a Dacor model. These hoods are designed for ceiling-mount island installations and are compatible with standard ducting and electrical setups.

Q: QuestionHello, we already built the kitchen cabinets and only have 36” for the hood. We purchased the Dacor 36” Range Hood Liner to insert into a 36” cabinet—will this work or do we need a smaller liner?
