The Dacor iQ Kitchen app is Dacor’s own WiFi remote-control application, documented in an official instruction manual carrying Dacor’s own part number, 112142 Rev A, that lets an owner start and monitor an oven remotely through the Oven icon in the app.
What it actually lets you do
The manual describes starting the oven remotely and monitoring its status from the app, giving an owner the ability to check on or begin a cooking cycle without standing in front of the appliance. This kind of remote-start capability appears in Dacor’s Modernist Pro documentation specifically in the context of the oven control system, tying the app directly to a real, documented product feature rather than general marketing language.
What it is not
It is worth being precise here: the iQ Kitchen app is a remote-control app, not a distinct cooking technology like Four-Part Pure Convection or Steam-Assist. No independent confirmation exists in our research for “iQ Kitchen” as a hardware feature separate from the app itself, so describing it as a cooking technology in its own right would overstate what is actually documented.
How it relates to SmartThings
The iQ Kitchen app and SmartThings connectivity are related but not identical — SmartThings is Samsung’s broader home-automation platform, and Dacor’s own iQ-branded app is how Dacor-specific functions like remote oven start are exposed within that connected ecosystem. Samsung shipped a dedicated “Dacor iQ” app update in March 2017, about six months after the 2016 acquisition closed.
A caveat worth stating plainly
Whether the “iQ Kitchen” name specifically persists on Dacor’s current app offering could not be confirmed in our research — app names and branding change over time, and we have not independently verified the current app’s exact name against a live, up-to-date source. Treat the documented functionality — remote oven start and monitoring via a connected app — as the reliable fact, and the specific current app name as something worth confirming directly with Dacor before relying on it.
Where to learn more
Our oven appliance page covers the current models where remote app control is documented, and our guide library covers related connectivity terms including SmartThings. If a remote-start feature stops responding through the app while the oven itself still operates normally at the control panel, that distinction is worth mentioning when scheduling a repair, since it separates a connectivity issue from an oven problem. Dacor’s own site is the place to confirm current app naming and availability.
