Dry Aging
Dry aging produces a very good meat quality by concentrating natural avors and bringing out the
best taste of the meat in the unit, you can produce the best tasting meat in the world at home.
The meat is literally a whole bouquet of aromas. The meat is characterized by a pleasant, rm tex-
ture and a more intense color.
When roasting or grilling the meat, the moisture-lled meat escapes and the tastefully spicy taste
develops in the marbled meat.
The meat is perfectly tenderized with a rich, intense avor.
Benets
The best results in terms of taste are achieved when maturing on the bone and in large pieces.
Age and gender, as well as breed and husbandry conditions, inuence the meat's quality. The meat
of a young female cattle is considered the best for dry aging, as its meat becomes tender and
avorful with age.
Dry aging has been around for a long time. They have animals that have enough fat content to
grow. For good dry aged meat, it's important to choose the right meat, because species-appropri-
ate manner is the better choice because happy animals give better meat quality.

It is always recommended to let meat back, strands of meat hang for at least 21 days after slaugh-
tering, under controlled conditions at a temperature of about 2°C (35.6°F), which is the maximum
tenderness of the meat is reached. After the aging process, only the taste will develop further.
Please note: A maturing period of 10 to 16 weeks is possible. Always ensure that the meat is
handled hygienically during the aging process to avoid bacterial contamination. After the maturing
process is complete, the dark red dry aging crust must be removed completely.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR DRY AGING
Select the food.
Have a butcher/expert whom you trust inform you about dry aging. Only use meat which is suit-
able for renement.
IMPORTANT: Only use food with a maintained cold chain that was handled under good hygienic
conditions.
Use fresh meat on the bone at maximum 5 days after slaughtering or max. 2 weeks vacuum ma-
tured meat (remove foil for dry aging).
Dry age individual cuts (about 2 - 4 kg) or half saddles of meat on the bone.
20
To minimize the weight loss during dry aging, use meat with a thick enough protective layer of fat.
Recommendation for dry aging beef: saddle from a heifer with good fat cover and marbling.
If ordered: unpack the salt blocks and remove the foil. Put the salt blocks in the stainless steel col-
lecting tray and place the tray in the middle at the bottom of the compartment. Please check every
2 - 3 days if there is any remaining water on the salt blocks, if so, please remove the water.
The dry aging is an expensive process and requires time and ideal conditions. Only hang / place
the meat in the unit when the desired temperature has been reached and the UVC disinfection has
been switched on for at least 2 hours.
The recommended temperature and humidity settings are 2°C and 80% RH for dry aging beef and
pork; 8°C and 75% RH for post-maturing ham and salami.
Avoid to open the door much in order not to affect the temperature and humidity of the air inside
the unit.
Hang the full saddle on the hanger of your unit or put the individual cuts on the shelves.
When using frozen meat, defrost before putting inside the appliance.
Wear clean protection cloth (gloves, etc.) when handling food. Do not touch the meat without
wearing protective gloves! A hazard of dry aging is wild fungi that can spoil the meat and cause
toxic and allergic reactions. For this reason, make sure that you maintain impeccable standards
of hygiene when handling the meat and the equipment and have a butcher/expert whom you trust
provide you with comprehensive information about it. If you notice a sours smell, this may be an
indication of wild fungi.
For optimal dry aging conditions, air circulation around the food is necessary: prevent mutual con-
tact and contact with the interior liner.
Consider aging time.
The optimal aging time depends on many parameters. Typical aging times, which can be consid-
ered as a rough reference, are as follows:
Fresh meat of beef: ~ 21-28 days
Fresh meat of pork: ~ 14-21 days
Vacuum packed meat (remove foil before aging): up to ~ 14-18 days
Ideal dry aging times are 21 - 28 days, but a dry aging period of more than 4 weeks is also possi-
ble, which makes the meat taste even more intense and stronger aroma.
Check regularly dry aging food. If you observe mold, an unusual smell (e.g. pungent, putrid) or
other potential contamination of the food, dispose it in accordance with your local rules and regu-
lations. Then clean the appliance thoroughly.
Once the aging process has been completed, dark and dry patches of meat must be generously
removed.
The active charcoal air lter and the UVC bulb must be replaced semi-annually.
Disclaimer: The manufacturer will not assume any liability for damage to aging food, not even in
the event of a fault in the equipment during the warranty period. The manufacturer will also not
accept liability for injury to individuals caused by improperly stored goods which are subsequently
consumed.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
21
During normal operation, the temperature display on the control panel shows the temperature
inside the appliance. The temperature display will ash if
• A different temperature is being set,
• The temperature in the zone deviates by more than 5°C (9°F) from the set temperature.
The temperature display ashing ensures that the temperature cannot rise or fall unnoticed and
impair the food.
TEMPERATURE MEMORY FUNCTION
In the event of a power interruption (power surge, breaker switch, etc.), the unit remembers the pre-
vious temperature settings. When the power is recovered, the cabinet temperature will go back the
same setting temperature as before the power interruption.
TEMPERATURE ALARM
An audible alarm will sound if the temperature rises or falls outside the temperature range. The
relevant temperature display will ash at the same time. Also the symbols & will light up in the
display.
The temperature the appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognizes as
being too warm or too cool.
The audible alarm will sound and the temperature display will ash:
- When you switch the appliance on, if the temperature inside the appliance is very different
from the temperature set.
- When there has been a lengthy interruption to the power supply.
- When too many items have been put into the unit at one time. Or too much ambient air
owed in when rearranging and removing storage items.
- When the door is not been closed tightly.
- The appliance is faulty.
The audible alarm will be automatically silenced, the temperature display stops ashing and the
symbols & will go out when the set temperature is reached again. However, if the noise disturbs
you, you can switch the audible alarm off before this if you wish by touching any key once. The
alarm will stop. The relevant temperature display continues to ash and the symbols & will con-
tinue to be lit up until the set temperature has been reached. The display then lights up constantly,
the symbols & will go out and the alarm system is fully active again.
HUMIDITY ALARM
A humidity audible alarm will sound if the humidity inside the unit rises or falls outside the humid-
ity range. The relevant humidity display will ash at the same time and the symbol will light up.
The ash of LL and indicates too low humidity level and the ash of HH and indicates too high
humidity level.
The audible alarm will be automatically silenced, the humidity display stops ashing and the sym-
bols & will go out when the set humidity range is reached again. However, if the noise disturbs
you, you can switch the audible alarm off before this if you wish by touching any key once. The
alarm will stop. The relevant humidity display continues to ash and the symbols & will continue
22
to be lit up until the set humidity has been reached. The display then lights up constantly, the sym-
bols & will go out, and the alarm system is fully active again.
UVC DISINFECTION ALARM
The audible alarm “B, B, B” will sound continuously if the UVC disinfection is faulty. The audible
alarm can’t be switched off until the UVC disinfection fault has been corrected.
WATER LEVEL ALARM
The alarm will be activated when the water level is too low. The water level indicator will ash in
red and the audible alarm “B, B” will sound 10 seconds every 3 minutes if,
- The water tank is short of water
- The water level switch is failure
The alarm can’t be switched off until the water has been relled or the water level switch fault has
been corrected.
DOOR ALARM
If the door has been left open for more than 60 seconds, the audible alarm will sound and the sym-
bol will light up. Closing the door or touching any key once can switch off the audible alarm.
INTERIOR LIGHT / TriColor LIGHTING
The interior lighting makes it easy to view your content. Touching and holding the LIGHT key for 5
seconds toggles between 2 modes of operation for the interior lights: functional (default) mode
and showcase mode. If you are in functional (default) mode, the lights will turn on only when the
door is open. The interior light will go out approx. 5 seconds after the door is closed. If you are in
showcase mode, the lights will be on whether or not the door is open and the symbol will light up.
The unit is equipped with the LED type lights and they are designed for extremely long life. Thanks
to the LED lighting, the meat will not be adversely affected by heat or UV light. But they are not user
serviceable. To change them pls contact the service department.
NOTE: Please use only the original LED light ttings provided by the manufacturer.
If your model is provided a TriColor lighting, you can select the color of interior light - amber, white
and blue by touching the LIGHT key. Touching the LIGHT key toggles between single color mode
and dynamic color mode. In the dynamic color mode the interior light will start to cycle through the
3 available colors. Touching the LIGHT key once when the desired color is on, your interior light will
be changed to that color. To change back to the dynamic color mode, touch the LIGHT key again.
ECO DEMO MODE
Eco Demo mode can be activated by presenting the appliance at exhibitions or in salesrooms. In
Eco Demo mode, the compressor and all fan motors are switched OFF. Also it is perfect as a clean-
ing mode. The refrigeration switches off while the lights stay on.
By touching and holding the “UP”&“DOWN” and “LIGHT” keys simultaneously for at least 5 sec-
onds, the symbol will light up to conrm the selection and the unit will operate in Eco Demo
mode. Eco Demo mode can be canceled by repeating the above process and the symbol will go
out.
OPERATING NOISES
23
The unit is cooled by a compressor (refrigeration aggregate). The compressor pumps coolant
through the cooling system, producing operating noise. Even when the compressor cuts out,
noises caused by changes in temperature and pressure are unavoidable. Operating noise will be
most audible immediately after the compressor cuts in. It becomes quieter as the operating period
continues.
The following noises are normal and occur from time to time:
- Gurgling sound, caused by the refrigerant owing through the appliance’s coils,
- Humming noise made by the motor compressor. This noise can get louder for brief periods
when the motor is switching on.
- Crackling/popping sounds, resulting from the materials contraction and expansion due to
temperature variations,
- Fan operating sound, to circulate the air within the wine cabinet.
Unusual noise is normally the result of improper installation. Under no circumstances must tubing
come into contact with a wall, other furniture or with other tubing.
Where the unit is installed in an open-plan kitchen or in partition walls, the level of operating noise
will be heard more acutely. However, this is due to the surrounding architecture and not to the unit.
An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the unit is located,
as well as the specic type of model. Our appliances are in line with international standards for
such appliances and in line with the latest technical developments. But please remember that the
noise of the compressor and the coolant circulating in the system is unavoidable.
DEFROSTING
Your unit is designed with an automatic defrost system. During the “Off-cycle” the evaporator
behind the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. The condensate collects in the drain trough
behind the rear wall of the unit, and part of it ows through the drainage hole into the drip tray by/
above the compressor. The heat is transferred from the discharge pipe or compressor and evapo-
rates any condensation that has collected in the tray.
NOTE: Frost may be accumulated on the evaporator if the unit is repeatedly opened in a high heat
or high humidity location. If this frost pattern does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require
manual defrosting.
24
WARNING Failure to unplug the appliance during service and cleaning could result in electrical
shock or other personal injury.
HUMIDITY CONTROL
The appliance is equipped with a system for maintaining the correct level of humidity by adding
the water to the built-in drawer.
NOTE: Make sure to pull out and push inward the water drawer gently otherwise the water inside
the tank is easily to come out.
Gently pull out the water drawer (1). Fill with
water up to the max. level and then gently push
the water drawer back to the designated posi-
tion. Check the water level regularly and rell
as necessary when the water shortage alarm
is ON (The water level indicator (2) will ash in
red).
After nishing each dry aging of goods inside the appliance, clean the plastic water tank (3)
carefully. In order to remove the plastic water tank, gently open the drawer (1) and turn the water
level switch (4) to the horizontal position, then pull out the drawer fully and the water tank can be
removed. After cleaning reassemble the water tank and turn the water level switch back to the
upright position.
Replace the water reservoir (5) every 3 months after use.
UVC DISINFECTION
The UVC disinfection is located in the back of compartment. The UVC disinfection sterilizes the air
once every half hour when the UVC disinfection lamp is ON. It can be purchased from the manu-
facturer.
• Remove the guard (2) by unscrewing the four
screws (1).
• Pull the bulb (3) outwards. Unscrew and replace
the bulb (3).
• Replace the guard by screwing the four screws
(1).
• Switch on the UVC lamp to disinfect and close

place it with a new one at least once a year. It can be purchased from the manufacturer.
• Remove the shelf in front of the lter.
• Unscrew the air lter cover and remove the old
lter.
• Insert the new lter in the vertical position and
turn it 90° clockwise or anti-clockwise until it
clicks into position.
DOOR LOCK
If the unit is provided with a lock system, the keys are in a plastic bag inside the box. Open the lock
by inserting the key into the lock and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door
do the reverse operation making sure metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and place
it in a secure place for safekeeping.
CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
Clean the unit thoroughly after each aging process. Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and
remove all items including shelves, meat hooks and drip collecting tray.
Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be
about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
Wash the shelves and plastic water tank with a mild detergent solution.
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning any area of the controls.
The sealing gasket around the door must be cleaned regularly to prevent discoloration and prolong
service life. Use clean water. After cleaning the sealing gasket, check that it continues to provide a
tight seal.
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with
a clean, soft cloth.
Do not clean the stainless steel with steel wool pads. We suggest using an all-in-one stainless
steel cleaner to clean the stainless steel. Always clean in the direction of the grain.
Switch on the UVC disinfection for 24 hours after each cleaning process.
POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically memo-
rized. If power is interrupted (power surge, breaker switch, etc.) and then powered up again, the
unit will operate with the last temperature set-point.
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of
your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be
off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.
NOTE: Irrespective of the cause, if you notice either abnormal temperature or humidity levels inside
your unit, be reassured that only long and frequent exposure to these abnormal conditions can
cause a detrimental effect on your meat.
26
VACATION TIME
Short holidays: Leave the unit in operation for holidays of less than three weeks.
Long absences: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items, turn off the
appliance and unplug. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth,
leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
Unplug the power plug from the electrical outlet.
Remove the contents from the racks and all moving parts from inside.
Raise the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
Tape the door shut and lock it with a lock system.
Transport the unit only in the upright position. Also protect the outside of the appliance with a
blanket or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Should the unit be left empty for long periods of time, it is suggested that the appliance is un-
plugged, and after careful cleaning, leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate inside the cabinet in
order to avoid possible condensation, mold or odors forming.
The appliance should be installed in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appli-
ances, and out of the direct sunlight.
Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents. Clean dust and dirt from the
condenser at regular intervals.
Only open the door for as long as necessary and for as short a time as possible.
Position the content in an organized way. Prevent mutual contact and contact with the inner con-
tainer.
To allow air to circulate, do not overll the appliance. Do not cover any part of the shelves with alu-
minum foil or any other material that will prevent adequate air circulation within the cabinet.
