Bottom-Freezer
Features
Food preservation features
Selling Tip:
Point out the
electronic sensor in the fresh
food compartment. It is easily
visible on the mullion side
(covered by a small grate).
Upfront electronic digital temperature controls
Upfront controls allow for easy access. Controls are preset at
the factory at 37°F for fresh food and 0°F for freezer. However,
temperatures can be adjusted between 34°F and 44°F for
fresh food and between -6°F and +6°F for the freezer.
Multiflow air system
Located in the back of the fresh food compartment, the air
tower is part of the airflow system and delivers cool air to
different levels of the compartment.
Bottom Freezers have 12 air vents to circulate cold air
throughout the interior.
Variable-speed air fans also keep temperatures consistent.
Selling Tip:
Demonstrate
temperature controls. Invite
customers to set the controls
themselves.
Selling Tip:
Point to air tower
in the back of the fresh food
compartment. Highlight air
vents and explain the benefits
of even air distribution.
GE SmartWater
™
filtration system
The system filters both ice and water, reducing chlorine, odor,
lead, cysts and provides clean, better-tasting water (tested and
certified by the NSF). And it’s easy to replace with no special
tools required. There’s no need to turn off the water. Simply turn
the filter to the left to remove. A check valve stops water flow
and prevents leakage. Insert the new filter and turn to the right.
❚
GE SmartWater filter: up to 6 months or 750 gallons of use
(GSWF).
Selling Tip:
Point to the
filter. Explain how easy it is
to replace and the benefits
of filtered water.
FrostGuard
™
technology
This adaptive defrost system defrosts only when needed
depending, using sensors to calculate when defrosting is
necessary based on door openings and internal temperatures.
Prior to a defrost cycle, the freezer temperature is lowered
in a pre-chill cycle which prevents foods from warming up
during defrost.
Selling Tip:
Ask if they've ever
thrown away dried-out food due
to freezer burn or noticed the
unpleasant taste freezer burn
gives food. FrostGuard
™
virtually
eliminates both these common
problems.
Electronic sensors
Three sensors electronically monitor fresh food and freezer
temperatures. One is located in the fresh food compartment,
one in the freezer and one on the evaporator. Temperature
readings are transmitted to the main control board and
compressor operation, fan speeds and defrost cycles
are determined based on these readings of consistent,
precise temperatures.
