and Independent cooling system."
TURNING ON YOUR STEAK AGER
Plug in and switch on the cellar by pressing on the power button for a few seconds."
When you use the Steak Ager for the first time (or restart the Steak Ager after having it shut offfor
a long time), there will be a few degrees variance between the temperature you have selected and
the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation
time. Once the Steak Ager is running for a few hours everything will stabilize."
Important: If the unit is unplugged, power is lost, or turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. The Steak Ager will not start if you attempt to restart before this time
delay.
OPERATING NOISES
To reach the desired temperature settings, Our Steak Ager, like all Steak Ager operating with
compressors and fans, may produce the following types of noises. These noises are normal and
may occur as follows:"
- Gurgling sound - caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance’s coils."
- Cracking/popping sounds - resulting from the contraction and expansion of the refrigerant gas
to produce cold."
- Fan operating sound - to circulate the air within the Steak Ager."
- Pa Pa sound – Solenoid valve start sound"
An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the Steak Ager is
located, as well the specific type of models. Our Steak Ager are in line with international
10

standards for such appliance. We will always do its utmost to satisfy its customers but will not
retake possession of the goods due to complaints based on normal operating noise occurrences."
STARTER -TIPS
1. Clean the inside of the Steak Ager with disinfectant, which shouldn’t be aggressive. "
2. If ordered: unpack the salt blocks and remove the foil. Put the salt blocks in the stainless steel
tray and place the tray at the bottom of the cabinet. Please check every 2-3 days if there is any
remaining water on the salt blocks, if so, please remove the water."
3. The temperature and humidity are already setted on 1℃(34°F) and 85% humidity which are
the perfect setting for dry aging beef & pork."
4. The meat for the dry aging must be fresh, perfect would be max.5 days after slaughtering.
Even vacuum matured meat can be used, but for a maximum of 14 days (please remove foil)"
5. Our recommendation for the best dry aged beef: use meat from a young cow with an ordinary
fat cover plus good marbling."
6. Hang the complete back on the hangers of your Steak Ager or put the individual cuts on the
shelves."
7. Load capacity: max.2x half strip loins on the bone with a length of 0.5m, therefore you will
need 2 hangers."
8. Load capacity with shelves: max.20kg individual pieces or cuts will fit on our shelves."
9. When maturing individual cuts on the shelves, pay attention on a protective fat layer which
prevents too much wastage and if possible let it mature on the bone. Ideal size aprox.2-4 kg /
cut."
10. Please wear protective gloves at each contact with the meat, DON’T touch the meat without
gloves!"
11. The perfect maturing time is between 25-28 days, but more than 4 weeks is also possible."
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
IMPORTANT: THE LED DISPLAYS BY DEFAULT THE ACTUAL INTERNAL AIR TEMPERATURE.
The temperature settings are pre-set at the factory as follows. In the event of a power
interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically erased and it will revert to the
preset temperature settings."
The electrical board of all models comes with memory function."
It is important to understand that there is a difference between the temperature inside the Steak
Ager and the temperature shows on display panel: You will need to wait approximately 12 hours
before noticing the effects of temperature adjustment if the steak ager with full loading."
Once the temperature is set, please don’t adjust it frequently. The thermostat will maintain the
temperature inside the Steak Ager within a +/- 2.5°C (4.5ºF) (range. But the thermal inertia of the
11

Steak Ager and the glass is such that within this temperature range, the actual temperature of the
Steak Ager$will only fluctuate 0.5ºC to 1ºC (1°F to 2°F). "

DEFROSTING/CONDENSATION/ HYGROMETRY/
VENTILATION
Your Steak Ager is designed with “Auto-cycle” defrost system. During “Off-cycle” the refrigerated
surfaces of the Steak Ager defrost automatically. Defrost water from the Steak Ager storage
compartment drains automatically and part of it goes into a drainage container, which is located
14

at the back of the Steak Ager, at the bottom of the compressor. The heat is transferred from the
compressor and evaporates any condensation that has collected in the pan. Part of the remaining
water is collected within the Steak Ager for humidity purposes."
This system enables the creation of the correct humidity level inside your Steak Ager required by
the natural cork to maintain a long lasting seal."
Notes: The water collected by condensation, is therefore recycled. Under extremely dry
environmental conditions, you may have to add some water into the water container provided
with your Steak Ager."
All units are equipped with a double layers Low-E glass door that has a third internal acrylic layer
to minimize condensation on the glass door."
The Steak Ager is not totally sealed; fresh air admission is permitted through the drainpipe. "
Notes: During the refrigerating cycle, heat is given offand disperses through the external
surfaces of the Steak Ager. Avoid touching the surfaces during those cycles.

MEAT QUALITY RECOMMENDATION
The best meat recognized for Dry aging is rib-eye on the bone. It is always best to purchase from
a dealer who sources their meat from a good quality abattoir."
The younger the animal the better the result. It is always recommended to buy a piece of meat
that has a good fat content and a high rate of internal marbling. It is advisable to mature the
meat on the bone either hanging or in the largest possible joints. The reason for this is to
minimize the pure meat exposed to the air, reducing weight loss."
The Dry Aging period is recommended for at least 21 days, only the flavor becomes more
intense. Please note: A maturing period of up to 6 weeks is possible. The hygienic handing of
food should always be addressed for best results . When the process is complete, the thin crust
is trimmed offready to be de-boned or cut into steaks."

to it. Check fuse, if any. Make sure that the door is closed properly."
If your Steak Ager appears to be malfunctioning, unplug it and contact your after sales service.
Any intervention on the cold circuit should be performed by a refrigeration technician who should
carry out an inspection of the circuit sealing system. Similarly, any intervention on the electrical
circuit should be performed by a qualified electrician."
Notes: Any intervention performed by a non- authorized technician We will lead to the warranty
being considered as null and void.
POWER FAILURES
In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically
preservation and it will revert to a preset temperature setting. (See preset chart)"
Most power failures are corrected within a short period of time. An hour or two’s loss of power
will not affect Steak Ager’s temperatures. To avoid sudden change of temperature while the
power is off, you should avoid opening the door. For longer period of power failure, do take steps
to protect your meat or food."
