How much meat can hang in the DX500 Cabinet?

When you remove the shelves of the dry ager and use it in a hanging configuration with the hanger bar the max height of the meat you will be able to hold is approx. 400mm. The actual clearance from the top of the hanger bar to the bottom is 550mm but you need to allow for a hanging hook.

How to defrost the Dry Ager manually?

  1. Take the meat out of the fridge

  2. Disconnect the power from the wall plug

  3. Open the door and place some towels inside to absorb any moisture

  4. Let the cabinet defrost for 48 hours with the door left open

  5. Plug in the cabinet, check the factory settings remain the same (humidity should be at 82% R.H. and temperature 1.5%)

  6. Wait for 1 hour or until the Dry Ager has reached the settled temperature and humidity

  7. Return the meat to the cabinet

Note: you will need to leave it to defrost for the full 48 hours and not just until the ice has cleared. There can be a big backlog of ice buildup behind the stainless steel wall which is not visible at first.

Can I put the shelves in the dishwasher?

Why is my Dry Ager displaying a "UVC" error code?

If your Dry Ager fridge is displaying a UVC error alert it indicates the UVC bulb and active carbon filter catridge has been reached its end of lifetime. You will need to replace the UVC Bulb in your cabinet. See how to replace my Dry Ager bulb for more instructions.

Which way does the door open on a Dry Ager?

As standard, all Dry Ager cabinets ship with the door handle on the left and the hinge on the right. If you need this changed to the opposite side - please communicate this to staff in advance of placing your order. If you already own a Dry Ager and need this changed contact our service team via email. Note extra charges for this change may apply.
