Control Deck
Your Pro 20/40 is equiped with a hanging rack system connected to our Electronics
control deck.
• Each hanger has incremental knotches for precise beef placement. This also
prevents the hanger from rotating on the hanger which keeps the meat hanging
straight.

the system should be done with care.
• The power inlet for the control system is on the back left hand side. Unplug the
connector by carefully pulling out the 5.5mm jack.
• Carefully remove the digital thermocouple mount from the control deck
by pulling down on the magnetic mounting bracket. Once both of these are
disconnected, carefully pull out the control deck.
• Clean the Rack by wiping it with a damp cloth, being careful not to get any water
into the top of the control deck. Wipe dry with a dry cloth and reinsert.
• Note : The rack has been powder coated to insure durability during cleaning and
use. The use of harsh chemical cleaning agents can damage the coating over time,
so it is recommended that a soution of mild dish soap and warm water be use for

Operating Instructions
GETTING READY TO USE YOUR STEAKAGER Pro 20/40
• Make sure the unit is running and cold before loading cuts of beef
• Purchase a cut of beef of your preference and use our App for quick reference
• Use the rack as a cutting guide for sizing length of cut
• Thoroughly pat dry the beef before placing in the Pro 20/40
• When placing beef in the Pro 20/40 be careful that beef DOES NOT TOUCH ANY
SURFACE INSIDE THE APPLIANCE. Use the rack as a cutting guide for sizing length of cut.
NOTES ON GETTING STARTED
Unlike other things you prepare in your kitchen, there is no “done” time with dry aging beef.
Your rst aging should be an 8-10lb cut of your choice aged for 21-28 days to begin your avor
journey. You will learn a lot from our Facebook Family page and our App. Try different cuts and
experiment with different aging times to experience different avor proles.
THE VISUAL CHANGES OF DRY AGING BEEF
You’ll notice lots of changes during the aging process such as:
• A hardening crust called the pellicle will form.
• Darkening color.
• Shrinkage which mostly occurs in the rst 21 days.
Your beef will lose up to 25% of it’s starting weight as water is removed
during aging.

Operating Instructions
TIME FOR DELICIOUSNESS!
You’ve waited long enough and now it’s time to experience the nest steaks you’ve ever had!
• Take the beef from the unit
• Carve off 1/8”-1/4” (3mm-7mm) of the pellicle from each end until you see non hard esh.
• If you are cooking the roast whole, continue to remove the pellicle from entire surface of the
cut. You will quickly see the color change and feel the cutting getting easier at the proper cut
point.
• If serving individual steaks, it has been found to be easier to cut steaks and then trim the
pellicle from the individual steaks.
• Freeze those extra steaks! Dry aged beef has very little water and they freeze and preserve
perfectly.
• CAUTION WHEN COOKING! Dry aged beef has very little water and cooks very quickly so
keep your eye on the prize while cooking and use a temperature probe if you can.
• Enjoy!
ATTENTION PLEASE NOTE
• You can only dry age whole cuts of beef – not individual steaks
• The SteakAger is designed to dry age beef only.
• The SteakAger is NOT designed to age sh, chicken, pork, lamb or game meat.
• To reduce risk of cross contamination, do not cut just a few steaks off and place the rest back in
you SteakAger.
