The EdgeStar CWR362FD is a wine refrigerator designed for domestic indoor use, specifically for storing wine. It is not intended for industrial or commercial applications. The unit is designed for either freestanding or built-in installation, offering flexibility in placement within a home environment.
The primary function of the CWR362FD is to provide a controlled environment for wine storage. It features two independent temperature zones, allowing for the simultaneous storage of different types of wine at their optimal temperatures. The temperature range for both zones is adjustable from 40°F to 65°F (4°C to 18°C). The unit utilizes an air-cooled system with an internal fan to maintain consistent internal temperatures. A built-in carbon filter helps protect the wine from harmful odors by acting as a natural barrier. The refrigerator also includes an automatic defrosting function, which typically occurs under most refrigerating settings, though frost may build up in colder or more humid conditions.
To operate the wine refrigerator, users interact with a temperature control panel located on the front of the unit. This panel includes a power button to turn the unit on or off, and separate "Left" and "Right" buttons to adjust the temperature in each zone in 1-degree increments. A "Run Light" indicates when the unit is in cooling mode. There is also a "Light Button" to control the inner light, allowing users to illuminate the contents. The unit offers the flexibility to switch the temperature display between Celsius and Fahrenheit by pressing and holding both the "Left" and "Right" buttons simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds.
The CWR362FD is equipped with several safety and convenience features. It has a temperature memory function, which means that if power is lost, the unit will return to its previously set temperature once power is restored. However, it is recommended to allow at least 24 hours for the unit to reach the desired temperature before storing wine after a power interruption. The refrigerator also includes a temperature alarm that sounds continuously after one hour if the interior temperature is too high (above 73°F / 23°C) or too low (below 32°F / 0°C), displaying "HI" or "LO" respectively on the control panel. Additionally, a door ajar alarm will sound if either door remains open for more than five minutes, serving as a reminder to close the doors to prevent poor cooling performance and potential shortening of the refrigerator's life.
The unit comes with shelves for organizing wine bottles. These shelves can be installed and removed by opening the door completely, sliding the shelf onto or off its track, and manipulating it to clear plastic posts. When installing, the shelf is pushed back until it stops, then the front is pushed down to allow the back to lift over the plastic post, continuing until both notches pass through the posts. Removal involves pulling the shelf forward until the notch aligns with the plastic post, lifting the shelf to clear the posts, and then pulling it straight out. The door handles are installed by removing decorative plugs, inserting screws through the door from the gasket side, aligning the handle, and tightening the screws. Care should be taken not to over-tighten the screws to avoid damage.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for the efficiency, top performance, and longevity of the CWR362FD. For exterior cleaning, the door and cabinet can be wiped with a mild detergent or hand soap mixed with warm water, using a soft sponge and rinsing with clean water. A soft, clean towel should be used to dry the unit to prevent water spotting. For stainless steel door panels, a cloth dampened with a mild detergent and warm water solution is recommended, avoiding abrasive or caustic cleaning agents, as chlorine gas and moisture can cause discoloration.
Interior cleaning should be performed occasionally. This involves disconnecting the power, opening the door, removing the contents and shelves, and waiting for the unit to defrost. Once defrosted, the interior can be wiped down with a clean cloth. After cleaning, the shelves and contents are reinserted, and power is reconnected.
The unit automatically defrosts under most conditions, but if frost builds up, especially in colder settings or humid environments, it may be necessary to power off the unit until the frost melts. A soft absorbent towel can then be used to dry the interior. Users are explicitly warned against using sharp objects to remove frost.
For long-term storage or moving, the wine refrigerator should be prepared by defrosting and drying the interior. This involves disconnecting the power plug from the wall socket and leaving the door open to allow for air circulation, which helps prevent mold, mildew, and unpleasant smells. If children are present, precautions such as removing the door are advised to prevent accidental entrapment.
Proper installation is also a key aspect of maintenance and performance. The unit must be installed on a firm, level surface capable of supporting its full weight. Leveling feet allow for adjustment to ensure the refrigerator is level, which is crucial for proper operation. Electrical requirements include a standard 115V, 60Hz, properly grounded 3-prong outlet on a dedicated circuit, with a 15 Amp fuse or circuit breaker. Extension cords or adapters are not recommended. Adequate clearance (1-2” at the back, 1/4” at the top, and 1/4” at the sides, and 2 3/8" if the door side is against a wall) is necessary for proper ventilation and service access. The unit should be placed in a well-ventilated area with ambient temperatures between 50°F and 90°F, away from heat sources like ovens or grills, and protected from elements like wind or rain.
